I feel something else is going on here.
I'm not in front of my bike- but are you sure your socket sizes are correct and not stripped / worn internally?
I don't remember on the CB (but will be replacing my damaged Motech soon)- but remember not all nuts/bolts are the same size on both ends. Example- I was just working on my car and it took an 18mm on one end and a 17mm on the other.
Don't know if I have the space for a nut splitter - this one is behind the exhaust pipes on the rear brake pedal side.
Also, it is a flange nut - would the nut splitter work on it?

Can you reach the nut with a cutoff disc on a dremel? If yes, it should take no time at all to make 2 or 3 cuts through the nut and it will drop off. Just be careful not to scar other parts.

I used the nut splitter. It did split the nut, but the flange wasn't split. Finally ended up gingerly drilling the flange out. Not sure if a dremel would have worked - since this was on the rear brake lever side, the exhaust pipes make access tricky.
Took me more than 4 hours and I was kneeling all the time - legs were numb for quite some time after that. Started feverishly searching for motorcycle lifts after that - but that fever has died down now.

I’m glad I found this thread. I used the stock 44 ft. Lbs. setting. I’ll need to back it off now.

I took those bolts out, and they are covered with some kind of power and smell like fish
What is that? Is it ok?

RE: Engine mount bolt torque value - the Ferret - 07-30-2020
I think it's just oxidation. I'd wire brush it off and put some grease on them.
RE: Engine mount bolt torque value - Lord Popgun - 07-30-2020
What Ferret said. Clean off the oxidation and that grease certainly wouldn’t hurt.

Yes, they use fish oil for a healthier bolt life.
