Anyone have a PDF for a service manual for a 2016 R1S?

I can find one for an R1 and and R1M, but their is a specific service manual for the R1S. I'm looking to change my tires and need to get the torque figures since my wheels are the heavy aluminum ones vs the nice light magnesium shoes of the R1 and R1M. The back rim is completely different.

If I should have this post in another section, please let me know.

The nut on the rear alxe is the exact same part as on the 1998-2016 R1 and yes even your 2016 R1S. So use the same torque values. :shake

Don't believe me... go look it up on http://www.partshark.com

the rear axle on the 2015+ is 137 ft/lbs. and it needs it. I've already seen a bike where the axle blocks bent the chain adjuster screws.

I'm actually afraid of that front alum axle nut(83 ft/lbs) being torqued so much. the rear one is steel. make sure you lube the threads and the mating surfaces when tightening to obtain an accurate measurement. loctite is actually a lubricant for this purpose on threads. most people don't know this. the service manual says lube the front nut with grease on the mating surface
