Chain, front sprocket, Sprocket nut 25x1.5, 186 NM* (GREASE B)
*= critical point for dynamic safety. Tightening torque tolerance must be: ± 5% Nm.

186 Nm = 137 ftlbs, for us Gringo types Aloha Alex

How do you get to 137lbs? Holding the brakes don't seem to be enough to stop the sprocket from creeping, I usually hit it good with the air impact. Just seeing how the pros do it.

When Harley's had chains, owners and several shops simply jammed the plastic handle of a screw driver between the chain and the top or bottom of the rear sprocket. Yes it ruins a screw driver, but it doesnt harm the chain or sprocket and its a one-man process.

I just tightened the rear wheel on an MV which required 220-240 nm. With the bike in gear and a friend on the brake it worked fine. Give it a try.
