Short question - bolt name (torque)

[WhiteBeard]

I have a bolt that need tightening (obviously  ) on the left hand side of the bike...



But what is it called, I'm having trouble finding it in the torque specs?
I know, I've had too many broken bolts this week...

It appears to be 40ft/lbs  See front frame - Rear Frame. 

Hope this helps,

Thanks a bunch!
Is that taken from the factory service manual?

Don't go overboard with the torquewrench.

I know a few oilpods and thread in the oil drainplug hole (scrabble?) that got killed using the torquewrench and the correct amount of torque.
I even know of people getting themselves in all sorts of trouble using a torquewrench on the bolt of the camshaft cover.

I personally only use it for headbolts.

The aluminium on our bikes get old and a steel bolt will win from old alu thread that has seen some (ab)use.

Just my 50 cents....
