Not being mean and I know I've ask quick questions on maintenance stuff before, but it's good to have a maintenance manual on hand in case no one answers your question. You can get a maintenance manual on ebay or amazon for a good price and some of them comes with a thumb drive that has the maintenance manual on it to plug in to laptop.

Get the HD factory service manual. It’ll pay for itself the first time you use it.

I pull my toque (wool winter hat) down good n' tight when it's snowing and below freezing. (Canadian joke)

The word you want is torque....unless you'll you're another one-poster-wonder troll like a lot of threads here lately, and in that case, all bets are off.

Some of the best advice I've seen time and time again on this forum. There's much more useful information in the service manual than just torque settings.
