That's what is says in the 2007 manual too, but my 2009 manual states what
Malinger posted : initial torque 60 ft lbs. Back off 1/2 turn then torque to final of 77-83 ft lbs.
2009 manual also states to discard the front axle nut and get a new one for the xbones.

+1 on Blue Loctite. Also a light film of Chassis Grease on the Axle Shaft (but not the threads).

+1 on the blue loctite. Still no manual but I have not heard about replacing the pulley bolts. I suspect grade 8's will do? I took the bike out for a test ride but will replace the bolts if needed. Thanks for all the replies. Tim
