I am replacing the countershaft sprocket on my 1970 Z50 and was wondering what the torque setting is for the 2 bolts that hold the sprocket on. Went through the Clymers manual and there is no mention of it.
Thanks!

I never set mine with a torque wrench to a specific torque, just tight.

After putting the chain on, I put them in 1st gear and a chunk of wood behind the tire, then see how tight those bolts are. On some bikes, its just easier that way.
