Supposedly from the manual..supposedly for a '99 (46mm forks).
14.5in/lb on the right **edit**wrong...both in ft/lbs
16.3in.lb on the left
Please don't ask why...I have no idea on the left/right part. Neither did the guy that gave me the info.

I torqued mine to the specs given for the stock KDX forks out the manual. I think 14.5 top and 16 bottom, or maybe 18 bottom. In the manual anyway. And that ought to be close enough, since I doubt the factory sent them out torqued correctly.

I'd rather be a smartass like carvr, than a dumbass like.... well, you fill in the blank!

That's pretty hard to buy CC... Who told ya? Like Ski... I used the specs for the KDX forks... I don't think they are going anywhere.
Buy a manual and let me know what it says... K?

I will use your off kilter specs tonight and see if stiction goes down... doubt it though.... Where'd I put that step stool???

Well... didn't use your scale but torqued to bottoms to 13.5 lbs and the tops to 18. Stiction went down considerably. This is a step in the right direction I believe!
And yes... the bike did drop more... thank GOD!
