Does anyone know the torque amount for the bolts holding the rear sprocket (large one) to the sprocket mount? It’s not listed in the torque guide. Thanks. Ed

Probably something you want to get straight from @David Hosie.
I'm curious if anyone else has had these come loose? Might want to toss a nordlock on both sides while you're there if so.
Also did you check for elongation of the holes?

I believe the rear sprocket is meant to be slightly loose. That allows it to rotate and slide slightly to deal with any chain flex. So I don't THINK there is a specific torque rating. They are held in place with Lock Nuts that should be replaced everytime you replace that sprocket.
We will get the scoop direct from David when he pops up.

For reference the Suzuki spec is 43.5 ft lb. I'd go with that until/unless Dave pops in.
Could also just use German torque specs.
