Looking thru the Honda service manual, and I see conflicting info on the torque of the top tree pinch bolts..

The picture at the front of the section shows 41 ft/lbs. (13-0)

The text version says 37 ft/lbs (13-2)
Anyone got the real value ?
41 ft/lbs seems a little too heavy when trying to get there with my torque wrench ..

Anything between thirty and forty will do the job just fine.

Don't know, never put a torque wrench on them. Just keep going back and forth on them a little at a time until they are all the same and nice and snug.

I think I'd stick with the lower number; if using a 100lb-ft wrench, it could be putting as much as 39lb-ft anyway, because of tolerances.
