I can't find the spec anywhere... anyone have any idea or just "snug"?

Not talking about belt covers are you? Belt covers are 6.6lbs/ft. I can't remember one for the little things on the side that say Ducati Monster

Yeah, the torque values for the clutch cover and alternator cover bolts.

well i know this doesn't help, but it isn't in the s2r workshop manual.
But LT Snyder has it listed at 9nm or 7ft lbs for the alt side, but i guess it would be the same for both sides
EDIT: Clutch side is 10nm or 6ft lbs.

Thanks buddy

something isn't right about this though.
10nm = 7.376 foot lbs
9nm = 6.638 foot lbs

this may be nit-picking, but it is close. I am not sure why the clutch side is a nm different then the alt side.

Technically, there are a couple of issues that effect what torque is necessary for the sidecovers.

The alternator cover has the stator mounted to it, which is a fairly heavy part.
Also, it houses the bearing that supports the end of the crank.

Additionally, the torque necessary to maintain an oil-tight seal is dependent on the stiffness of the cover, and how far apart the bolts are.

I use the snug with a T-handle approach. 6ft lbs isn't much, you would need a little torque wrench to even measure that.

I use snug as well, there's too much of a chance of breaking the head of those bolts off or worse, stripping the holes in the case

In the absence of a spec I use industry standards.
