Materially higher than the 165 N·m used on the twin-shocks, and both are right. The 3.82 Reparaturanleitung predates the GS and Paralever, so its 165 N·m does not cover them — this figure comes from the later literature for those models. Same known trouble spot; always Loctite.

This is the book's general row. In the book, pick your model and year and this figure resolves to your machine, with the one-page torque sheet, the job pages and the printable booklet.
