Correct. Don't have the manual with me, but the four 5/16" socket head screws are in that range. The two 1/2" hex head bolts down below the top triple tree are in the 30-40 ft-lb range.

The 07 manual says 12-18 ft-lb for the top clamp.Snug rear two screws, torque front two screws to spec, torque rear two screws to spec.
Lower two bolts are still 30-40 ft-lb.
