2003 Yamaha R6 Front End Setup

I recently just got a set of 04 forks that I bought off here. Im going to swap my old forks out since they are bent. My questions are... Are there torque requirements for the front end anywhere and whats a major problem I might run into while in the process of the front end swap? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks for all your help...

Find a good way to prop up the bike. Either with the frame front stand or wood block to the exhaust, or whatever.I usually just torque the fork holders by feel but I think its around 30 ft-lbs. dont quote me. Best thing you can do is get a manual and start reading.

Re: 2003 Yamaha R6 Front End Setup

Ok so what about the main tipple that bolts to the frame? Is there a setting for that? I don't have a book for the bike. Is there a forum or anything so I dont have to go buy one to find what everything should be set to? Im going to stunt the bike so I don't know if torque is the way I need to go or if I just tighten the bitch up and ride... As far as getting the front end set up I think I got that just don't want to **** some things up... Thanks for all the help...
