I believe the torque setting for the rear caliper bolts on your bike is 40 Nm.

The rear wheel lugs I think are 100 or 105 Nm.

You are not likely to hurt these by tightening them very good, without a torque value! Sure its a great tool,BUT. The wheels lugs are huge and you crank on them and they are going into steel, not aluminum:). Aluminum applications are much more touchy, for steel bolts going in. The brake bolts are going into aluminum(I think), so use more caution. I tighten mine with a standard allen wrench by hand and then give a sharp rap with a rubber mallet, once or twice. I done it so many times, I cannot count and have never had an issue. I do have the torque wrench in my box, but don't need it for these kind of applications. I'm also a mechanic, so I may have an edge on knowing my tools and their feel. Use a torque wrench if you have any concern:). I've just done too many and have faith in my knowledge of what I do. There are many many places one should always use the torque wrench, so be knowledgable of your tasks at hand:). Best wishes and wrenching, Randy:usa
