Actually surprised no one has chimed on yet.

Anyway, my '01 X-1 service manual says 2-3 drops of red Loctite, then tighten the engine sprocket nut to 190-210 ft/lbs.

I seem to remember talk of a service bulletin that advises 250 ft/lbs is better, but that may apply to XB's not tubers, so be careful.

It is 190-210 ftlbs for the engine sprocket nut if that is what you're asking. That is from my 2002 M2 factory manual and I have a 2001 and they are both the same bikes.

When in doubt, go higher. I followed the 2000 M2 manual to the letter putting on that stator / crank nut, and had it back off. I'm not the only one.

I'd go with 250 ft lbs, or "about-as-tight-as-you-can-freaking-get-it".
