I would check the front bearings and re install the axle to the proper torque setting. I would not use thread lock on the axle. I might use it on the pinch bolts, but that is it.

I untightned the front to 60 from 70 which was barely 1/8th of a turn down....

I really dont see that effecting anything

maybe going from 58 to 100 but not to 70 anyways its done
I also tightned from 70 to 85 on the rear which was barely 1/6th of a turn

and I know about the pinch bolts on the forsk you gotta tightnen the axle bolt first then tighten the fork bolts 1 turn at a time per all till they are all tight

Good info. Never tourqed the axles nuts to spec before.

Honestly, you shouldve backed it all the way then tighten it back to the torque you needed..you really should get a manual though. $.02

Wrong, but hey it's your bike put it together how ever you like.
I'm out

There is a reason the engineers put the torque specs in the service manual.

If you aren't going to take advice, why ask in the first place?

well now the first thing you need to do is remove the damn bolt and clean off all the locktite your dumbass just put on there.

I did that retard just because I didnt mentioned that doesnt mean I didnt do it.. I loosened it up cleaned and and torqued it to 86 in the rear
