As above, would anyone have torque settings fir front end specifically the fork pinch bolts,but caliper and axle as well. Ta
 
From the w/shop manual -
Axle
Grease thread and underside of the locking nut (3) and then screw it on.
Tighten nut (4) to a torque of 63 Nm ± 5%.

Calipers
Tighten the two screws (2) securing brake callipers (1).
Operate the front brake lever two or three times.
Hold the lever pulled towards the handgrip and simultaneously tighten the screws (2) to a torque of 45 Nm ± 5%.

pinch bolts
Before tightening the screws (5), lower the bike to the ground and push up and down on the handlebar to load the suspension; so the fork legs will become properly seated onto the wheel shaft.
Tighten the screws (5) to a torque of 10 Nm ± 5%, following a 1-2-1 sequence.

Refitting the rear wheel
Lubricate the wheel shaft threaded end with recommended grease.
Fit wheel on the shaft,
Fit the spacer (4) with the tapered side facing the wheel, and washer (3); apply the recommended
grease to the nut (2) and start nut (2) by hand.
Tighten the nut (1) to a torque of 230 Nm ± 10%, checking that the hole on the nut is aligned with one
of those on the wheel shaft.
(The manual says 240 in one place and 176 in another. It's 176nm with moly grease.)
Fit the clip (1), fitting the end into one of the holes in the shaft, orienting it as shown in the figure
