Of course, you have to take off the top triple to get to this which involves removing the top nut/washer, unbolting the brake reservoir, and loosening the two fork pinch bolts. I don't see a torque for the top nut/washer, but its mainly cosmetic.

I believe top nut is a little more than cosmetic, holds top of triple tree together. Torque is 120 Nm.

Here's a How-to also that was provided by a BMW Tech... --> Adjusting/Torquing the Steering Head

"cosmetic" was the wrong word - I meant that it had nothing to do with the steering head bearing preload. It is necessary obviously to secure the top triple.
