Jota rear wheel spindle Torque?

[philw]

Had a new pair of Bt46's fitted this afternoon, can someone tell me the correct torque for the rear wheel spindle please?...or is it just a case of tightening till you think it feels tight enough, cant seem to find a torque figure anywhere.

Workshop manual says 70-80 Nm or 52-59 ft-lb, but I do it as much as I think it is ok. Front wheel is different 52-60 ft-lb but also 70-80 Nm
Good luck

And god forbid it takes out the points cover when it does.

On my first motorcycle, a Honda, God forbid, the spindle was drilled to take a split pin.
Not surprising Laverda went bust.
