Hey all, hope everyone is well.
I've not posted for a long while as I've not been using the bike so much. I'm currently fixing a small coolant leak coming from the front of the bike.
Diagram - https://si.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/4765008/cb500r-1994-sp-kph/water-pipe
I'm looking for the torque setting for the water joint bolts (parts 8 on the diagram) . I thought it would be in the 10-12nm range or reasonably hand tight but wanted to check as I've no manual to hand... Also to use copper slip on bolts or not?
I'm putting in a new gasket (part 5) should the gasket be lubed/wetted before install or just install dry?
Cheers all,
