Is there a difference between wet torque and dry torque?

If something has a little lubricant on it do you torque it to the same spec?

There definitely is, but Kawasaki doesn't provide that spec. I'm sure you could probably find a % spec for dry vs oiled/greased threads online somewhere though.
Being dirtbikes, they get covered in mud, washed off after, and ran through deep water quite often, so I'm inclined to put anti-sieze or grease on any threads, especially any that aren't a bolt into a blind hole.
