Ayup. There're Sections TDP and TDQ, neither of which have any torque specs (despite being titled Technical Data). There are measurement data, capacities, size, materials of construction, wattage, degrees, gear ratios, fuel consumption, etc., but torque specs there are none.

There is Section OI, Maintenance and Lubrication, which details intervals and service times, even, but no specification data for any maintenance. Total of 25 sections but not a squeak about fastener torque specs. Ditto the owner's manual except for the two things I've noted. They say to have the dealer's service change sparking plugs, fer heaven's sake!

Wah, wah, wah.
