Title: Tighten Head Bolts
Post by: matthew on September 18, 2005, 11:03:59 PM

I have a little white smoke starting to come from my exhaust after the bike warms completely up.  I talked to a Suzuki mechanic and he suggested I tighten the head bolts before I completely replace the head gasket.  I checked my pdf manual and it has the tightening order and torques but the picture is illegible.  Does anyone have a copy of the manual that they can read the order?  It is on page 3-57 in my manual.

I hope this is what you wanted.
