You tighten them such that there is
NO gap at the top. There
will be a gap at the bottom.
Obviously, that means you don't tighten them in a cross pattern, right?
I don't have my manual handy...but I
think it's something like 70in/lb. Please do verify that.
It's not a problem doing it 'by hand' (no torque wrench) as long as you have an idea of what force is being applied. If you tend to hamfist stuff...better use a torque wrench.
BTW...(dead thread?**Fixed thanks to michelle..!!** The gist is pasted below anyway.)

If you ever need one of those studs, the Kawasaki part # is 172G0622
They are also reported to have been found at some average hardware stores in the 'metric stud' department. They
might be in the 'kdx stud' department, but then......aren't we all?
Cheers!
