Question Spec question?

Just past the 600 mile mark on my new ZZR 600 and could not be happier.
Have added: 1. Mag-Knight tank bra (Thanks for the idea zzrrocket )
2. Nelson-Rigg tank bag
3. DiamondPowerSports lowering links 2" drop
No noticeable handling change after adding the lowering links, but I do not have a shop manual yet and was wondering if one of you with a manual could pass on any spec's related to re-tightening rear suspension parts. Am comfortable with the work I did, but since these points pivot, would rather know what they should be exactly if possible and be safe.

Thanks

All bolts on the rear suspension linkage are to be torqued to 43 ft/lbs. The main bolt where the swing arms pivets is 80 ft/lbs.
