Does anybody know the torque specs for the exhaust flange bolts?
Thanks in advance!

100-120 in-lbs or 11.3- 13.6 Nm, That's from the 2008 service manual. After they heat up and cool down a few times it's best to retorque them.

I seem to remember it being an inch pounds measurement in the 100s.
So fairly low, I wish I had my manual with me but I'm at work
EDIT: darn, paul beat me to it.

thats one of the few things i don't torque on my bike, i just snug down and about half a turn, and after i've had the exaust off i usually have to re tighten them at least 3 times before they stop loosening.

I'm with Jim on this one. Check them every couple rides or so for quite awhile, they will loosen up. "Gutensnug" is the proper torque for me!
