1200 crankcase nuts - torque values?

[aebbern]

Finally putting the bottom end back together on my 1200 and looking for recommended torque values for the M8 and M6 nuts.  The Green Book I have calls for 18 ft-lb for the M8 and 13 for the M6, while the factory service manual states 25 ft-lb for the M8 and doesn't specify a value for the 6 mm ones.  The 25 ft-lb figure sounds sketchy to me - what is the current best practice for torque on these nuts?

Torque settings are  really a engineering thing ,M6 =7.5lb/ft checkout for 8.8 strength bolt/nut.
