Torque settings

[STORMY]

2017
DL1000 A8 (Gen 3)
I’m in the middle of fitting one of those Cymarc gear enhancers, and attending to a few other things at the same time:
Can anybody tell me the torque settings (colour coded arrows) re:caliper fastenings (missed a fastening I’ll call that one No arrow just below the bleed nipple)
Will Teflon grease do the job on the pins on the caliper, or do I need silicon grease?
Rear sprocket torque settings 60 N-ms, or is this another over ambitious value (I.e the rear axle nut should be 100 N-ms, but the general consensus is 80 N-ms is more than enough) similar thing?
Thanks

Thanks Bako it’s given me the specs for a 2014 onwards model (should have looked there first) but no ABS sensor bolt torque values - so I went with 10Nms on those.
Somebody called Grey Wolf on Stormtroopers reckons that’s what they were and he definitely looks like he knows his onions.
But just in case anybody else wants them

Funnily enough I've just been through exactly the same process on a 650 flavour of the same year. I came to the conclusion that all Suzukis values are ridiculous and put the torque wrench back in its box after one of the sprocket nuts totally let go well before the "correct" value was reached.

Smaller bolts such as the abs sensor, just nip them up, bigger bolts such as rear spindle make sure it's tight, but for me I will no longer follow the manuals "2 ugga dugga" principles

Also did some work involving the rear sprocket tightened to 50 NM-s (no grease), but the manual says 60NM-s. All I did was mark them up just to check for any  signs of future movement.
Suzuki does go over the top on some of these fastenings (he said as the rear wheel and sprocket parted company )

Just for your info, Greywolf was one of the most knowledgeable & helpful people in the world of V-Stroms: he was a true gent that we miss his presence greatly.

Greywolf had an encyclopedic knowledge of all things Vstrom, and any other general motorcycling things. His mileages on the wee and glee were very impressive, too.

Greywolf
He definitely was a true gent and would offer his knowledge and experience freely to all.
I noticed it was the anniversary of his passing recently. I shall raise a glass to him at the weekend 

Oh, and I tend to do as Josh does "just nip them up, bigger bolts such as rear spindle make sure it's tight"   

[STORMY]

Oh I didn’t know he had passed, that’s quite sad even though I never knew the bloke.
I’m sure he’d be heartened to know his scribes are still helping V Strom’ers from beyond the grave, I doff my hat to you Sir

I’ve not long acquired a pair of Teng T/Wrenches just getting my moneys worth

When I was at work,I used to do a lot of large diesel engine rebuilds, mostly for shunting locos and large landfill gas powered generator engines.On one particular engine .a Rolls Royce V8, the main bearing bolts were torqued up to 1000 ft lbs, with a double barreled torque wrench.(it was enough to just collect the lump from the toolstore).What I used to do as there was no chance to use it as you normally would, was to turn the engine on its side on the build stand, and then use the overhead crane to torque up the bolts.Shame I couldn’t have gone and fitted the engine in Sri Lanka, seems an interesting place to visit if you are not paying,(no I am not from
Yorkshire)

I set the torque wrench to 80% of stated value. This is not only to reduce the risk of a ham fisted Brockett stripping the threads    but also to account for worn threads that may have oil/grease contamination. I've never had anything come undone.
