Four,
 I P.M'd another member who specializes in these class of bikes.  I'll send on the info if I get a response.
         I guess you guys got the starter in the mail today,  :-D 
If nobody gets back to you guys before you head out tomorrow there is a general torque spec for iso threaded nuts and bolts.
  Get a measurement on what size the bolt is and use that.   That's if nobody can give you an honest answer.    I have to give you guys credit for at least asking instead of just "Cranking" on it and possibly stripping it out.

104in-lbs or 12 N-m. They have a re-occuring tendancy to come loose. This is one place you DO NOT want to use a thread locker. Use a piece of teflon plumbers tape. Just one or 2 wraps will be fine. That shaft is impossible to drill a broken bolt out and they still run about $50 on ebay.....guess how I know? :-D :?

BTW, anytime Tuck :-D
