It should be listed in your owner's manual.
For 2009 it states 14-21 ft-lbs (19.0-28.5 Nm)

Change your primary and tranny fluid also, the service manual is full of useful maintenance info.

It's still breaking in, if your still riding it, I would wait until you put more miles on it. If its winter and sitting for a long time, consider having the dealer do the 1K service so everything gets checked out properly and after that you can change it on your own. Save your receipts and log your miles. my 2 cents

NO NOT "good en tight" you will destroy the little o-ring if you tighten the **** out of it and put a new o-ring on every time on all the plugs
