They are in the factory service manual! I'm surprised you started this work without one. If you don't have one, also get the belt tension tool.

First thing you do if you are going to work on your bike is get a factory manual. All so make sure you torque your clutch basket properly or you will have some major problems if it is too low or too high. I torque just about everything on mine and customers. I cannot help you as I have no idea what year and what model you are working on. BIG differnce on 2002 and up rear axle torque then the 2001 and lower!
