250-500cc WXC360 counter sprocket bolt torque?

As the title states I'm curious what the tightening torque of the counter sprocket bolt is? I searched this forum but couldn't find specific info. I have a manual for a '99 WR360 (mine is a '92) but am unsure if the tightening torque value is listed, the primary gear nut is listed but not sure if that is what I'm looking for because the counter sprocket is held on by a bolt.

Also, what is the desired technique to torque the bolt? I took a stab at 40 lb-ft dialed on the wrench and tightened while holding the rear brake, this succeeded in snapping the bolt . Fortunately it was easily extracted, 40 lb-ft doesn't seem excessive to me, perhaps the bolt was fatigued? Should Loctite be used?

40 sounds high to me for such a small bolt. I will try to look at my old manuals.

Thanks, that'd be great. It would stand to reason that 40 is too much considering the failure.

40 definitely sounds high, I think about 20-25 with blue loctite is right

Well, chalk another one up to ignorance on my part. Thank you kindly sir.

it is as Rancher says lower, but WAY more important is red locktite
had one fall out and the sprocket fell off and the bike skidded to a stop
torque is based of fastener stretch values

Makes sense to me. Correct me if I'm wrong but red locknite will most likely require an impact wrench to remove? Which won't be an issue considering I had to use one to remove the old sprocket.

better than coming off in the middle of nowhere

The OEM sprocket bolt came with some kind of thread adhesive that made use of loctite unnecessary.

that is common in heavy duty stuff too, but it is s throwaway world with those fasteners
to reuse we use loctite

All valid points, I will head the advice of the many knowledgeable members of this forum. Thanks for all the info guys
