Kas says, essentially: 

"Pretty damn tight with standard breaker bar."

Kas spent a lot of time with Triumph engineers and I am sure that if it were important he would would have nailed it down.


-----------------------------

There is no torque spec, on this fastener,  but you don't want it to come loose. Can be hard on threads. I use breaker bar and Loctite.

Bolt doesn't do much except to locate fan assembly a hold "snout" on. 

SAE Torque Specs in the handbook are typical guidelines but applications are not considered. (You should see the torque wrenches used on Tractor Wheels in the big factory.)
