Just realigned the forks on my CRF300L after someone knocked it over.

I used the torque specs for the fork bridge pinch bolts from a document that gets cited across multiple forums and Reddit posts, but 29 Nm for both the upper and lower bridge clamps seems pretty high to me.

I’m more used to values around 12–17 Nm on bridges of other bikes. Has anyone here confirmed the CRF300L specs from another source, like an actual service manual or is 29 Nm really correct?

Two links for the torque sheets i found:
