torque on lower gear in chain case?

put some blue loc-tite on it. I'm not sure what the spec is but i would guess somewhere around 25-30 ft-lbs
 
Daman is right on with his torque spec, my service manual shows 35 ft/lbs. I ususally use blue loctite like yamahaholic posted. You can also get green loctite, it's recommended by Yamaha and I think it has a bit more holding power. Before you loctite it make sure you clean all the threads with a degreaser, I usually use naptha or lacquer thinner.

I would use the red Locktite. It holds way better than the blue. Even though it says "permanent", you can get them loose again on any bolt bigger than 1/4". The most important thing is to clean all the oil off of the bolt and the hole first with a solvent. The green stuff is REAL stong. Yammi uses it on the bolts that hold the electic start ring-gear onto the primary clutch. That stuff wont move without heat from a torch.
