'96 GS500E Torque Specifications?

[conradvr]

Hi,

I am installing some progessive springs this weekend for the front forks.  When I reassemble the bike I want to make sure the nuts and bolts are all tightened properly.  If you have the information please post the torque specifications when reassembling the front forks and refitting the front tires etc. (I don't have the manuals handy, but I know from the VFR manual they list all the torques you must tighten the nuts to - so I assume the same applies for the GS)


Thanks in advance,
Conrad
