Hi colt.
the setting you are looking for are top 43nm bottom 50nm these are the setting out of the bmw workshop manuel,i have just had my ohlins rebuilt at kais,the problem i encountered was holding the unit whilst torqueing the top nut up as you know it goes inside the frame and is difficult yo fit a 28mm spanner to. What i did was saw the end of 28mm spanner and had it welded at a angle,if you need to borrow this spanner you are welcome to borrow it,i live in Ramsbottom pm me or give me a call on 01706824691.
Hope this helps.
night trunker. (ian)
