Motorcycle Repair: CM 250 Cylinder Head Torque Values, cylinder head bolts, torque values


Question
I have removed the cylinder head from my nieces 1982 CM 250 to repair vandalism to her spark plug hole. What are the torque values for the cylinder head bolts (studs) and nuts.

Answer
I don't have a manual for that bike but the standard torques for the thread size would be close enough.  I'd use the 8.8 grade torques below (foot lbs.
