Default Torque Setting

I have to help a friend of mine with her new 883 Iron; I have to make an adjustment to her shifter. Does anyone have the torque setting for shifter pinch bolt?

yeah thanks, do you happen to know what the factory torque setting is for that bolt? I am guessing it is probably around 20 ft. lbs.
