XS650 Case Torque Pattern

[Ryerr]

Somewhere along my Internet travels I found a guide for torquing the engine case bolts on my XS650. At the time I figured I could find it again easily so I didn't bother saving it for some strange reason.

Anyone know where I could find said info? (I'm not concerned about the head bolts, they are in my service manual)

Thanks in advance....

No idea what specific pattern there would be for these cases, other than to torque in a criss-cross fashion. Start with hand tight all round, then 2/3rds the final torque, then move up to the final figure.

The case bolts are numbered.
You need a special spanner to torque the one behind clutch (I just leave it until last and tweak it a bit)
The engine mounting bolts need to be torqued in a specific pattern to help reduce vibration when you fit engine to frame
It's in here somewhere

I don't see a torque pattern in those pdf anywhere? Do you know which file it is in?

It's in the Engine file, on the page marked 33.

Ah shit - just re-read your post (sorry for committing that cardinal sin) and realized of course you already have that info.

I don't know about splitting the cases and the resulting torque / patterns. Sorry, and it doesn't appear in the manuals. Damn. Sorry for the stupid replies.

I took a look at case tonight, the bolts holes are numbered
