Where's the mud?
You can find a manual online if you look, freebie. If you have a new 2020 300 you should be able to find it in your owner's manual.
I understand one manual says 80 ft-lb, D. Pippin has a torque list in his site copied from a Kawasaki manual, KLX250 I would expect, showing 94 ft-lb. Others have commented seeing other model specs of 69 to 75 ft-lb. Key point, would be that the lock washer with the folding tab should keep it in place at any of the specs noted. I'd tend to lean toward the 75-80 ft-lb and use a bit of anti-seize compound on the threads. Torquing to 75-80 ft-lb with anti-seize may give a dry thread torque close to that 94 ft-lb, but I don't know that for sure. The benefit of the anti-seize is when you need to remove the nut. It won't be crusted on in place.
