rear shock torque spec

[Tuned forks]

The rear suspension on my '90 is going back together.  Most fasteners I can find a torque spec for them.  However, I can't seem to get one for the lower rear shock mounting bolt.  This would be the bolt that connects the rear shock to the wishbone.  My service manual, even though it's supposed to cover FJ1100 &1200's, mostly seems to discuss the 1100's rear suspension.  The owner's manual lists torque by fastener diameter.  By that spec, the bolt in question would be 30 ft lb.  My Haynes manual either is incorrect at 6.5 ft lbs or it's referencing a different fastener.  Anybody know this spec or have the appropriate Yamaha service manual for 1990 specs?

I hope this helps. Taken from the Haynes manual.
I would use the torque of 47ftlbs for the lower shock bolt to the relay arm. As given for the 91 and later models.
