What is the torque spec for the rear axle in ft. lbs.?

from http://www.ducati.com/bikes/tech.jhtml use the rear wheel nut spec for the ST bikes (same axle) and you get 83 Nm. anybody got a conversion?

1 N-m = 0.7376 ft-lb

so 83 N-m = 61 ft-lb

That is 61.2208. So, does 60 ft. lbs. sound about right?

Close enough.

Make sure to keep the socket completely engaged on the nut...dang thing is pretty thin. :-/
