RE: Torque wrench
I'd like to go through the whole manual & tell you, but each section has there own list of torque settings.!!
Just get your average garden variety wrench, some of the settings are pretty small for the little nuts 'n' bolts. I think the put settings on these, so you don't over do it, rather than not enough. You even have settings for your spark plugs, you can go crazy if you let it get to you, considering that every screw & nut on bike has a torque value.

RE: Torque wrench
I had a nightmare today, I took my calipers off and when I was tightening one of the mounting bolts it broke off []! I took the front wheel off and managed to get the broken bolt out, went to my local Honda dealer and got 4 new ones, apparently Honda recommend replacing them everytime you take them off as they are anti strech bolts! So I put the new ones in but the caliper hole where the bolt broke off wouldn't seem to torque up so rather than risk breaking it off again I didn't push it, it still feels tight enough.
When it broke off I was ****ting myself coz I was planning on going out tomorrow with some mates.
