[QUOTE="biglou, post: 911075"] I bet the torque spec is for the nut on the top of the triple clamp. I think it's 75 ft. lbs for Yamahas (don't quote me on that). The nut directly over that thin washer (spanner nut, right?), I usually tighten by feel. Tighten down by hand as far as you can while holding the front end up into the head tube, then go another 1/2-1 turn with channel locks, then back off and then re-seat. I like my steering to just barely flop to one side when sitting on a stand. There should be no play front to back when you grab the front wheel and push/pull on it. There also shouldn't be any notchy feel to it when turning on the stand. [/QUOTE]
