Default Steering Sindle nut

Hey, just wondering if anybody happens to know the front steering spindle nut torque? (or whatever their called, they hold hold the rotor on). The cheap manual I purchased does not show any listing of this.

ya, and if you tighten it too much, then you will wear out your wheel bearing.
