One of the bolts that attaches the mount to the engine is starting to back off and spit some oil. I'd like to tighten it down before the damn thing flies out. Anyone know the torque specs?
Well I wish you the best.Oil leaking from a bolt going into the case doesn't sound good.Also,if the mount has been loose for some time you may have a crack or at the minimum worn threads.Steel and aluminum don't work well together on loose bolts.The steel usually wins.However thats what they make bigger bolts,drill bits,taps,thread locker and heli coils for.If that bolt is loose remove it and inspect the threads,put thread locker (loctite) on the bolt threads and install it loose.Do the same for the remaining bolts and torque to specs.For any person reading this thread,don't ride with loose bolts.Steel or iron parts are easier to fix than aluminum.I have torque specs for 06 if it helps you.

Your 06 specs would be fine cause you have a rubber mount......
Believe it or not, I just noticed the exact same thing on my bike. Same bolt too. It dripped enough to stain the floor with a spot. Anyway, spec is 55-65 ft. lbs. (74.6-88.2 Nm). It's a 5/8" bolt.
