Welcome to KZ1300.COM!
Don't know the torques off the top of my head but I do know that you can download handbooks or manuals from the home page of this site.
Best of Luck

Removed my wheels a couple of weeks ago: front axle nut is 58 ft-lbs, and rear is 101 ft-lbs.
What tyres are you putting on ?? I use Bridgestone BT45's and am well impressed with how they work on the Zed 13.

Thanks guys found the torque settings last night but was unable to alter my posting.....even found my service CD from when I owned a KZ1300 six years ago ! :cheer:
Putting Michelins on...will get the rear fitted tomorrow...not a 2 minute exercise to remove the rear wheel ( well actually 3 minutes on my R100GS :) ) Got a good deal on the Michelins...£160 the pair fitted if I take the wheels in.

Incidently, whilst removing the axles..I noticed that there are no washers behind the main axle nuts front and rear ( even had a look at some old photos of my previous KZ1300 and there were none on that either )...I was always taught that there should be a washer behind a nut....so, should there be a large washer behind these axle nuts?
