GasGas manuals are dangerous!

Am I wrong to say that - comments?

The M6 screws that hold the sprag clutch assembly are quoted in the 2005 engine manual as 26Nm. I think that is beyond the yield of any commonly available bolts even 12.9 class which is what I used and was the highest tensile strength I could find. I didn't check the manual but stopped torquing when I felt a couple start to yield which was round about 22Nm Retrospectively checking the max torque according to bolt fastener manufacturers it is 17Nm. Does that mean I need to start again? Or will they be ok?

I wonder if that is why they failed in the first place? Either that or the fact there was no loctite on them.
