       Camshaft nut torque
       By: Mjoinson Date: June 23, 2018, 2:51 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....
