Just to clarify; The covers come off in two large lumps. The little covers are to check you still have belts between services.

My book says 19Nm for the fixed tensioner and 26Nm for the mobile tensioner.
It also says locktite 243 for both but I've never locktited mine.

Any other opinions on that?

The workshop manual for the later 1100 Evo only mentions Loctite for the fixed roller (20Nm), the tensioner itself (26Nm) has neither grease nor Loctite.

Nope, I’ve never used thread-lock on mine.

In fact I’ve never torqued them either. The hex bolts are a little cheese like if you don’t use a good fitting socket-type hex key but it’s best to use a long reach one to avoid the ‘socket’ part from affecting the angle into the bolt.

Don’t be tempted by the ‘ball end’ type as the reduced diameter of the waist means they can’t take as much torque.
