Torque setting?
Anyone know off hand what the torque setting is for the rear spindle nut? I'm adjusting my chain this eve.......mind you i've never seen anyone else bother! Tyre fitters just get a bigger extension and 'strong' it on...even the dealer just seems to 'nip it up' with a pursing off lips and a 'that should do yer' nod. Should I bother??

Curvy - 60Nm
Pointy - 100Nm  It's been recommended to me not to do it this tight.

100Nm doesn't feel that much when you use a long torque wrench but undoing it for the 1st time can take alot of force. What is odd is that the SV1000 has a much larger nut but the torque is still 100Nm or 120Nm.

Shouldn't do, the whee has a captive spacer in the middle so you shouldn't be able to compress the bearings. You could posibly deform the swingarm if you're the Hulk, or more likely damage the washers.
