[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1422692, member: 19880"] The steering stem nut is 85 ft-lb irrespective of the type of bearings. The "opinions vary" is for the bearing torque, not the stem nut. I am a fan of using proper torque values for critical components but not so much for the majority of stuff. Where it is most needed is for locations where too loose could be dangerous or too tight could damage something. You should add the pinch bolt for the rear axle - easy to overdo that one. Also, the pinch bolts for the forks - too tight can collapse the tube and too loose might be a very bad thing. AS far as the engine is concerned, anyone doing serious work better have a good torque wrench (and know how to use it) and the full set of specs from the FSM in front of him! [/QUOTE]
