Call Honda Corporate so they know to fix it in next print or notify owners so they don't get killed!
Dealer regional rep escalated it to corporate level, apparently. 80 foot pounds won’t fly off, so it’s not really a recall/safety risk. Just extra reassurance haha.

94 is correct. From the service manual.

I just went through the whole manual and it doesn't show the torque specs for the brake bleeder valves for bleeding brakes. On the FK8 is was 10ftlbs. Im assuming its the same since apparently the brakes are identical

Sounds like a safe bet to me.
