    Mainshaft nut (clutch side) over torqued

    Hi guys, yesterday i replaced the stator on my 2009 xb12x, first time for me when i do this.
    Quick story: after installing the engine sprocket bolt, i moved to the clutch basket side, for installing the mainshaft nut. I aplyed 3-4 drops of red loctite on the nut, installed the washer with the mark OUT facing outside, set the torque wrench to 106Nm, install the locking tool and proceed for tightening the nut. I applyed moderat force on the wrench, and nothing. More force, still nothing. At this point i am pretty sure that I am aplying almost same force as i did on the engine sprocket bolt wich was tightened at 210Nm. I than realised that my torque wrench is useless for tightening left-hand threads. The conclusion is that i am sure that i tightened this nut at way over 106Nm. So i am searching for some advice here: is threre any possibility that the clutch basket will be damaged by nut being over torqued? Or not worry and go ride?

    Thank you!
