I'm going to install some Motolights on the front calipers. Can anyone provide the torque values for those bolts?

Thanks.

30 Nm (newton meters) for the calipers
8 Nm for the adjustment screw

Note however that according to MotoLights website, you want to use the bike manufacturers recommendations for the brake caliper bolts when attaching your lights. On my R1150, it is 40 Nm - don't know if it is only 30 Nm on your R1200.

Thanks for the info!

Now if DHL delivers the lights today like they are supposed to, I'll be all set!
