BUT.........
At the beginning of chapter 7 - Brakes, wheels and tyres, it also has a list of torque settings......
Rear wheel axle nut
X, Y, K1 and K2 models ............65 Nm
K3, K4 and K5 models ............100 Nm
I don't know why one is called rear axle nut, and one is rear wheel axle nut, but it looks like they have made a mistake in chapter 1 by not specifying the different models. I wish they would make a manual for the curvy and one for the pointy to avoid confusion.

That must be what I found in mine....its actually pretty dangerous, you could quite happily follow the figures in chapter 1 and think you had done it correctly. A difference of 35Nm is alot of error though.
I would hope that you would notice pretty quickly if it came loose though.
