Camshaft nut torque
« on: June 23, 2018, 08:51:38 am »
Does anyone know what's the camshaft nut torque is supposed to be? Up changes on my Nuovo Falcone have always been much more likely to find a false neutral (which could be either above or below the gear I was hoping for) so I thought I'd see if the external adjuster on the gearbox did anything useful. As I'm unlikely to get that spot on first time I'm tempted not to stake the camshaft nut until I've finished fiddlling. If it's done up tight it ought to stay on for a gentle trip round the block? Any thoughts?
thanks

Martin

Hi Martin, There are pretty much no torque setting specified. I don't see the nut coming undone, and you could always add a dab of Loctite.
However, I believe you're supposed to be able to set the adjustment statically, with the bike on the centre stand, jiggling the back wheel to select gears and check for neutral selection. There are neutrals between each gear, but I'm not sure if that's by design (easier clutchless changes) or accidental....
