Even easier as source of torques is the owner's handbook which comes with the bike. :P

Off the top of my head, it's 60 Nm. I usually do 40Nm, cross-wise, then crank up the wrench to the full 60. Yee haw!

And sir wins a mars bar, and that 40 cross wise is the way to go............:D

Sometimes its better, half the cheapo torque wrenches aint worth using anyway.

Must admit to tightening them up to as tight as i could get them.

A mech I once knew didn't use torque wrenches...said that "experience had taught" him when tight enough was tight enough....hmmmmmm. Back wheel bolts needed to be, in techy terms "FT" tight. Cross-wise first, then each done up "FT".
