How many Nm should the Head on a sx500r be tighten with?

And with how many Nm should the syl. be tighten to the crankcase?
 

Iam pretty confused rigth now.. This page you linked to, says:

SX/Vmax Cyl: 24 ft lbs (32.4 Nm)..

But i called my local yamaha dealer and he said about 9.62 ft (13 Nm) lbs on the Cyl.

The paga also says: SX/VmaxTwin Style Heads: 16 ft lbs (21.6 Nm)

My local yamaha dealer says: 17.02 ft lbs (23 Nm)

Anyone that could say what's rigth or wrong?
 
go with 24 ft*lbs on the cylinders for sure. On the head, one ft*lb is not going to make much difference, just go 17 ft*lbs
