Personally, I wouldn't tighten it that much, especially since the C/S sprocket for the RX3 has a locking tab. You really don't get much lateral pressure on the counter shaft sprocket.

My Zongshen ZS200GY-2 only employs a retaining clip for the C/S sprocket, which allows some lateral movement of the sprocket on the counter shaft. My Honda XR650L also employs a retainer which bolts to the C/S sprocket, and allows lateral movement of the sprocket on the counter shaft. My Honda CRF250X specifies a torque of only 23 ft-lbs for the bolt holding the C/S sprocket.

It will require considerable effort to torque that bolt to 92 ft-lbs. It will also require a breaker bar to loosen a bolt torqued to 92 ft-lbs. The C/S sprocket nut will not loosen if it is tightened to 41 ft-lbs, and secured with the locking tab.
