kgf·m
kilogram-force meter
Torqueexact by definition
The kilogram-force metre is exactly 9.80665 newton metres. It is the torque unit of gravitational-system practice and is still standard on Japanese, Korean and older European service literature: motorcycle and automotive tightening specifications are frequently in kgf·m.
Watch out: Read as "kg-m" on a service chart it looks like a mass times a length and is not. Roughly, 1 kgf·m is 7.23 ft·lbf, so a 10 kgf·m head bolt spec is about 72 ft·lbf.
