I don't know what you used for a torque wrench, but I find the click-type often need to be used a click or two after being set, before it will click over at the set torque. Internal sticktion or something like that. I like to set the torque wrench, and then test it on some bolt that I know is torqued way more than the current setting. The swingarm bolt on my DR650 motorcycle is often used for this, but I'm sure you can find something handy if you don't have one of those in the shop.
