All, in my Haynes manual, the torque for the XS650D upper and lower triple pinch bolts are specified to 10Nm/ 7.2 foot pounds for UK models, and 6-9 foot pounds for US MODELS.
All 7 of these pinch bolts are M8, which normally is torqued to 20Nm/ 14.4 foot pounds, if grade 8.8 which is most common. I currently use Grade 5 Ti bolts from Pro-bolt.
10 Nm just seems too low to me, especially for this location. Any opinions? Any problems likely to occur if using 20Nm?
