Does anyone know the proper bolt torque for the 2021 NC750X lower triple clamp?

Several years ago some other forum member posted torque specs on a google drive document.In my 2012 NC700X Honda service manual, under the front wheel/suspension/steering section, the torque specification for the “Bottom bridge pinch bolt”, quantity 2, 10 mm thread, is 39 Nm. Someone with a 2021 service manual could confirm if the value is unchanged for ‘21.
Old post and you may have answered your question but by all means folks should know that anti-seize or any grease at all dramatically changes the torque values used. My repair book for my BMW states that if you use anti-seize, you should reduce the amount of torque setting by 25% or so. Point being, don't torque things to the "normal" amount if greased.Just a general question on bolt tightening on triple clamps. I have found on various bikes when tightening the bolts, that occasionally a bolt will bind when close to the recommended torque, especially when a steel bolt is being tightened into an alloy clamp.
Is it considered advisable to put some anti seize paste on the bolt to alleviate this or could that be tantamount to lubing the bolt ?
