Titanium fasteners use the same values and are checked after every ride.

From owners' experience: triple clamps — bottom 13–14, top 17; handlebar — 30. Gearbox: drain bolt 15, check bolt 5, filler plug 5. Kayaba fork: cartridge cap 29, bottom bolt 55, oil per leg 328 ml (295–370).

Engraving on the triple clamps (no torque for the clamps was found in official Stark documents): bottom — 17, top — 20, handlebar clamp on the top one — 25. The chat's consensus is 15 for the bottom clamp; whether to follow the engraving for the top clamp and bar clamp is still debated.
