Default handle bar pinch bolt?

can't find a torque spec for them in the sevice manual. it just says to tighten securely(wtf). on my last ride my right one (throttle side) handlebar was moving slightly. apparantly i didn't tighten it enough. don't want to strip the clip-on. if somebody knows a torque spec can you help a fellow CBR brother out. thanks[&:]

no torque spec listed...
just crank it down some more. you aren't going to strip anything! and then use loctite...and stop with the death grip on the bars!

no death grip here. just a SMA grip. i tightened em to 10 ft/lbs which is tighter than i had em before. i'm going ride tonight (the wife's going to girls night and getting[sm=alcoholic.gif]). nice empty roads and cool temps for me to take a spin.

10 ft-lbs is like nothing at all...give it more!
