Gen 3 Hayabusa stator cover replacement

[Jtownmassacre]

I have a gen 3 Hayabusa and have replaced the stator cover.
The torque settings as per workshop manual for the internal Stator seem low at only 11ib. It also has no indication of using thread lock .. so should I stick with the manual or pull open again and use thread lock.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated..
thank you

If it's on, don't worry about it.
It is Always a good idea to go over your bike occasionally too, and check that all the accessable fasteners are tight.
For future, a small amount of Anti-Sieze on the threads of most fasteners is a good idea.
As it prevents not only siezing, but the gualling/damage to the threads that usually results.
Anti-sieze also acts kind of like a mild thread-locker as well.
It is also a good idea to torque fasteners to 10% less of the specified torque value when using anti-sieze in aluminum, to prevent stripping the threads.
Personally, on bigger fasteners, or ones on the engine subjected to higher heat and greater heat cycles, I go to 90% torque, and then in small increments between the difference to 100% torque value.
I do this slowly and by feel, so I do not strip any threads.
I continue to do this too, as when I work on something that I worked on years ago, I know that the fasteners that I put back, will come off without trouble.
It helps me, the next person that works on it, and is small thing that goes a long way in helping something to last.

For side covers I’d use an inch lbs torque wrench Instead.
