Rear brake of a pointy?

Front bolt - the larger one - 20 lb-ft.
Rear bolt - the smaller one - 16.5 lb-ft.

The front bolt is also one of the sliding pins of the brake, only use rubber grease on it - it passes through a rubber bellows which will be damged by any other sort of lubricant.

Incidentally Suzuki specify a torque setting for the brake pad pin - 13 lb-ft - but I'd go easy with it, the pin and the caliper body are quite soft and easily damaged, as long as it's secure and the plug, (1.8lb-ft), is snugged against it, it will be fine.
