shock bolt torque

[jsjs97]

Just got new Elka shocks and had the rear rebuilt on my 400ex, can anyone tell me the torque specs for the mounting bolts on the front and also the rear linkage rates. Thanks

from the Honda service manual..

front shock upper + lower mounting bolts 33 ft/lbs..
rear shock uppare + lower mounting bolts 43 ft/lbs..

rear linkage bolt that goes through swing arm 33 ft/lbs..
all other linkage bolts 43 ft/lbs..

as always I'd recommend a dab of loctite on each bolt.
