Just going through a used Beta 2011 Evo 4t and tightening some bolts and what not. Happen to notice that the bolts on the triple trees where not very tight, I used a basic socket ratchet wrench with metric allen head to tighten them.

I don have a Nm torque wrench so I am kind of guessing as to the amount of force to torque these (two on top and three on the bottom) bolts down...can they be over tightened? I just do not want to strip the bolts or cause them to snap if they are over tightened.

Thanks, any information would be appreciated.

I think while you are at it, you might as well put a little anti-seize on them. They should not be as tight as you think. After all it is a pinch bolt. Nothing worse than trying to repair a fork clamp.
