As adouglas said - if it feels like it's too much - stop.
My youngest son was replacing the sprocket on his R6, and the factory torque spec said something like 60 or 70 ft.lbs. I said I thought that was too much, but he went full steam ahead anyway (I wasn't there).
Stripped numerous studs before stopping (stop after the first one...). Turns out it's not uncommon for R6 owners.
He likes to learn the hard way.
Plenty of people snap small bolts trying to get to the torque spec. It's better to learn what "snug" is, and when to use a small ratchet like 1/4" drive instead of 3/8".
