torquing

I dont have an allen socket for my torque wrench. I think the torque is only 4 lbs. I just tightened it until the swingarm had no side to side play then gave it a little snug. Is this ok or do i need to go buy some tools? Or does anyone have another way of doing it? Thanks

all the instructions i see for torquing the steering head bearings call for the bike to be on the center stand, and handlebars removed. is it possible to do it while the bike is just sitting there. I dont have a center stand, but my new to me vmax needs some torquing. any ideas?
