Could you please help a guy out with torque numbers for the header nuts for my 2010 z1000? And is there a torque spec for the hanger bolt? Thanks a alot

I believe the header nuts are 22 N-m. Not sure on the hanger bolt but it's a 10mm bolt so its gonna be at least 40 N-m (guessing).

I'll look it up later and get back to you.

Muffler Body Mounting Bolt: 34 N-m (bolt that holds the mufflers to the passenger peg brackets)
Premuffler Chamber Mounting bolt: 34 N-m (hanger bolt on the CAT box to frame)
Muffler Body Clamp Bolts: 21 N-m (these are just the muffler clamp bolts to the CAT box. 1 on each side.

Note: the SM DOES NOT specify a torque for the exhaust pipe holder nuts. Akrapovic recommends 22 N-m in their instructions. In the generic torque spec section of the SM it recommends 14-19 N-m for 8mm hardware.
