How much torque on the oil pan bolts-not oil pan plug

[2hip]

What a great day..I've started to reassemble the bike. Spark plugs back in with anti-seize..tubes reattached and connected up to plugs. While putting new oil pan (due to cross-threading the oil plug) on I checked the manual and it says nada about torque lbs. I used Yamalube both sides per mechanic...even though the new gasket doesn't require it...whatever, dude!

So I snugged them up diagonally with just the socket and extension by hand...Since no torques were mentioned I carefully snugged them up with ratchet until they felt tight without over tightening...man that is just a little nerve racking with steel bolts going into aluminum...any advice welcome...also felt it was strange that we don't use locktite on threads...why not locktite??? info solicited..2hip

no need for loctite on oil pan bolts.
