On a 2006 R1200 GS, when doing a valve adjustment, if the valves' rocker arm end play needs adjustment, what is the torque value for the various head and associated bolts that secure this arm once its adjustment (between .05 mm and .40 mm) has been made?

I've looked but cannot find the value in a clear statement in the various lists of torque. Your good help would be really appreciated.

Thank you, Veg. I had the torque list you referenced, but wanted to make sure I was looking at the right line: "Rocker/follower with bearing
Locknut, valve adjusting screw, M6 x 0.5 8 Nm (6 ft-lbs) "

Also, I found that the nut at the left of the rocker arm is a cylinder head fastener. This one needs a bit more TLC than most sites say:

Cylinder head to cylinder Nuts of tie bolts, M10
tighten in diagonally opposite sequence Oil screw threads lightly
Initial torque, 20 Nm (15 ft-lbs)
Initial torque, 90°
Final torque, 90°

Probably wouldn't be good for a jug to come off mid-ride.

Thanks for the response.
