torque specs?

[gs77]

After reading the manual, I didn't find any specification for how much torque to apply on the rear sprocket nuts , tried to apply 40-50 pounds and managed to strip a bolt.
I think there is a part where it tells you how much torque to apply in relation to the size of the bolt and if it has the Suzuki mark. I want a confirmation if it's the correct specs

for the front one I went with specs and everything seems all right

Some machinist guru probably has the answer but it will also be contained in the manual on BassCliff's website. That is if he has a manual for your bike. He has one for most GS models.

I know there is a bolt strength factor as well as the diameter of the bolt.

I seriously doubt that a small diameter bolt such as is on my bike could take that high kind of torque

As a rule of thumb look at the charts and determine a ballpark figure on the basis of diameter

On page 165 of the adobe file, which is actually page 162 of the service manual on Basscliff's site, is the torque specs for anything not listed. For instance, torque 10mm bolts to 21.7 to 26.8 lb ft.

I take note of that

Resource for Unknowns

a great resource for info on fasteners, materials, tools, drill bits etc that I have used is the McMaster Carr on-line catalog. At the beginning of each catalog section it gives you specs, applications and all kinds of useful information.
