By now if you are on OEM and have not had a loose nut or it fall off then I would say that your shaft is to spec, so technically perhaps you do not even need the thicker nut ?
So no deed for the thicker nut and if you did put one on then no need for 90Nm.
If the thicker nut along with 90Nm has came about from extensive testing (on an under sized shaft ) then is there still a worry needed about going all the way to 90Nm on an undersized shaft.
For the record I am convinced that my shaft is the correct size :eek as are all 98 reg bikes BUT when I change sprockets I will be putting on the fatter nut with thread lock 620 and to 80Nm
Now then a while back there was a discussion about lube and the effect on torque settings - so wont threadlock be the same as adding lube to the thread.?
Sharpie you are always saying stuff like that LOL :thumbup
