I would definitely invest in a good set of torque wrenches if you like wrenching on your own stuff. They don't have to be uber expensive either. We're not dealing with precision machinery so you can be off by more than 5% and still be fine.
 
Owners manual says nothing about this. I will call a dealer and ask, but I have received incorrect info from them in the past, eg: what size hex is necessary for the cush drives: the dealer said 10mm and it is 12mm. This forum is oftentimes more accurate than 'other' sources, but my searches have not turned up a definitive answer...so I asked.
Definitely good to check multiple sources. I once called the dealership to find out what I should torque the front sprocket to once I changed it. I remember them giving me a number that was so low I made sure to check on a couple of sites and sure enough the guy was off by 50 foot pounds...
