Not sure of the torque specs for your bike, but you should probably put some red loctite on those bolts. Its a real pain when those bolts come loose.

Did I miss something? I don't see what make/model of bike you're asking about.

From what I can find, it's 6.5-8.5 lb/ft of torque for the cover bolts. I could be wrong so I take no responsibility for any damage that may be caused by using these settings.

Call your dealer, they will probably tell you.

btw, do I need to put some liquid gasket when I bolt the cover back on?
thanks

Dunno the answer to that one, some Lock-Tite couldn't hurt.
