9.8nm, 87in. lbs., 7.2 ft lbs. for the cover. Spring bolts are 8.8 nm, 78 in lbs., 6.5 ft. lbs...... In other words a good hand tightening will work great.

and a little oil on those spring bolt threads before install is a good idea too.

u got it rick, i will be there on the 09 streetbike, elvira is to long now to enter tsb . and yes 9ftlbs ,since 06 i have never pulled any threads out nor have i lost a bolt or had a leak,on the other hand i have seen a few that did by hand tighting and an uncalibrated torkwrench that was set at 6-7 ftlbs ,and it was ugly and costly for the owners. 9ibs and a little oil on them there threads and no worrys.

Thats the same spec as the 12, never had a problem with it on the 12 & never put oil on the threads...
Whats up with putting oil on the bolts for the 14?
Is that only for the heavy springs or using the brock shims?

No need for oil on the bolts, imo.

a more accurate torque value,and saves the threads from premature wear.
