confirmed it is metric, but CSC did not have a size.

As for the Countershaft sprocket nut, they report a torque value of 125Nm

And as for me, I need to have a lesson in what all everything is called on the bike - because it seems I was wondering about the engine cover (and the countershaft sprocket is behind a something that I probably haven't even removed to check) :embarassed: Oh well, the only way to learn is to ask

My goodness! I calculate that 125 Nm is 92 foot-pounds. That is the amount of torque you might put on a crankshaft bolt, not a counter shaft, sprocket nut. I really think 41 ft-lbs is much more reasonable.

If you wish, start a new thread on Motorcycle Nomenclature. We will be happy to answer your questions.

I even asked for confirmation on that value...it certainly seemed excessive
