[Dave Mills]

What are the proper cylinder stud and head torque in ft.lbs for an 85 500?

Here's a snapshot from the 86 workshop manual, should be the same for your bike.
It can be found here

I'm sorry I do not understand. What is cylinder stud torque (85 cr 500) ?

according to the page from the manual above, the nut is 29 ft.lb, screw is 25 ft.lb plus loctite 222. are you asking aabout the actual stud itself?

6 nuts hold the head on, 4 are on the long studs from the crankcase and two are from short studs in the barrel itself. make sure the nuts dont run out of thread on the short studs b4 the torque is reached. plenty of seizures from that little chestnut
