Dude don't take peoples word on torque spec's for your bike, the wrong # will put your life in ruins, save yourself some grief and get yourself a tech manual.

165 ft/lbs for crank nut and 85 for mainshaft (clutch) nut.....if you don't have a left-hand drive torque wrench that clutch torque is purely academic anyway.

Put red loctite on both.
