Any one know what the Driven sprocket nuts should be torqued to? I'm getting them fitted now and need to know this. The oe nuts are 72ft/lbs but this will be way too much for the Driven items.
Help!

Those aluminum nuts suck. I don't have my info from Probolt with me but the toque specs on aluminum nuts are significantly less. I had some LP ones on my wife's 250 and they stripped long before I got them to spec. I won't use anything other than Ti for structural fasteners. The torque specs are the same as steel and the weight is almost half...plus they look pretty FOREVER!!

Cheers for the info guys, we ended up going 35 lb/ft as well with some thread lock!
