Top box Mounts come loose

[Rasher]

The side top box brackets on my bike come loose every few hundred miles, I have been tighteneing them up "by feel" as I have no idea what the correct torque setting is.

Does anyone know how tight these should be?

I do not want to strip the threads behind as I assume this may be part of the sub-frame they attach to and I really don't want to f*** that up.

I will also apply some threadlock next time, but wanted to find out the correct torque first.

12Nm with threadlock according to the manual..

Thanks

I have a feeling the stealer forgot the threadlock (or to read the manual no doubt)
