Ft/lbs anyone. I heard 52 and 60, whats the exact measure? And would it be a bad idea to put some lock tight on there?

50 ft/lbs... that's from my Yamaha YZF600 manual. Probably the same as the FZR.
Lock tite is never a bad idea, just don't put the permanent stuff on there. Make sure you use a new lock washer and bend the tabs up.

I still say that not enough. I have heard many stories of and experienced the "walking front sprocket". A good example is my old bike felt like it had a warped bearing and it lurched at slow speed. This turned out to be a loosed front sprocket that i was able to remove by hand-because the nut had actually backed off almost half way. Luckily, the washer did it's job but barely. 100lbs man!!! 100lbs..loctite. Safety wire!!! Ok..i'm done
