The w/shop manual also lists "general standard torque values":
5mm bolt and nut: 5Nm, 5mm Bolt 4Nm
6mm bolt and nut: 10Nm, 6mm Bolt 9Nm
etc, etc...
So if its not specified in the drawing for the component/group I'd go with those.

Cheers, I didn't know that. Very helpful!
What about loctite type? Any preferences?
exvalvesetdabbler:
Just the standard blue stuff. Also be carefull of putting too much on where the thread is going into a blind hole. In the worst case you can get hydraulic lock and crack the casing.
One thing to consider though, if Honda's spec was for tightening up the fasteners dry then lubricating them with locktite or copper grease can result in over tightening.
For me, I would avoid using it unless absolutely necessary or instructions say otherwise.

Cheers dave, Good point on torqueing when wet!
I think I'll just stick to using a few dabs of loctite where others have mentioned only then!
Thankfully Ive got blue loctite already, so one less thing to have to buy. Today I am going to start putting the crankcases back together.
Im feeling very nervous and cant believe ive finally got to this point i the build, hopefully all goes well.

I've used some yellow bearing assembly loctite specifically to fix the rear wheel RH race in the hub where the location dia had worn slightly oversize. :D
Probably realise this already (from studying the workshop manual) .... when applying the Yamabond or similar "packing" to the crankcase mating faces, apply a smear to the four main bearing pillars where the bolts pass through.
