I would always recommend it for internal engine parts, and i would ALWAYS recommend it for others for liability issues. but I myself will never do it as 90% of all bolts are common sense imo and going by their specs is a false sense of security. I do what I think is good and check things often. I've seen people using specs have issues, but no bolt i tighten comes out and rarely is anything overtightened. I don't even use loctite on many parts because my arm is so calibrated

well would you agree that my front suspension is a critical part of my motorcycle and deserves special attention?? other than that i agree . BUT if i go down i want it to be my own dumb fault not because a part failed on my bike

theres no critical bolts on your front end, as long as the bolts are tight they arent going anywhere.

I've never torque'd one of those bolts either

just something that was preached to me ever since i was young since my grandpa worked in the development department for bilstein suspension in Germany. my dad would not even let me ride my first motorcycle if the tires and suspension weren't absolute immaculate

gues its in my blood
