If he has so much experience on these bikes, maybe he could share some of it and tell us where the female torx could be found on these bikes.

The parts fiche shows a female torx nut for the exhaust headers.
My R1200RS has the same nut and my K1300S had the same nut.

Engine cases, shiftier lever, valve cover, just to name a few.

I went out to the garage to check the header nut, and a 13mm 12 point was a good fit on the R1200RS.
Don't know if this is true for all sizes.

At the torque values applied to those 13mm or so fasteners, does that matter?

I never saw one of those. All my Torx sockets have 6 points, so none of those would work on a nut like that. Apparently, it's known as a Triple Square, used mostly by German auto manufacturers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives#Triple-square. It's good that a standard 12-pt socket gets the job done, because a quick search is finding very few options for a socket actually made for that shape. O'Reilly Auto Parts claims that these spline sockets will work.
