Cant remember and cbf looking
but you'll find it at the suzukiinfo site, in one of the really useful pdfs you can save to your phone and computer.
Alternatively I googled it, and answer was 2nd hit.

The manual says 11Nm starting at the centre bolts and working outwards, tightening one bolt at a time.
However I've stripped them at this tension resulting in a need for heli-coils. Be careful.

Yeah,mechanic told me that,metal is too soft(or something like that) in Suzuki bolts similar to early Datsun models.
