I have seen alot of questions about torque specs. If you are worried about undertorqueing, a light or medium strength loctite is an inexpensive but very reliable insurance if you are afraid of undertorqueing. To me exact torque is more important on somethings than others. I personally would not pull out my torque wrench to properly torque my footpeg retaining bolt. But that is just me.
