Title: V7 Pumpkin torque
Post by: Kiwi_Roy on September 09, 2022, 10:26:09 PM
I have just installed a new tire on the rear of the V7 Special Avon Roadrider Mk II 150x17
its a miserable job to change this tire, you cannot fit it in with the pumpkin in situ so I dropped it off.
Does someone have handy the torque settings for the 4 bolts that hold the pumpkin on?
Thanks
Roy

It just occurred to me, that if you had to, you could change a rear tyre on the Norge without removing the wheel… :popcorn:

It does seem possible but wouldn't it be more difficult than removing the wheel. Its a big help on the CARC bikes to have a bolt without a head so you can screw it in then hang the wheel on it, makes it easy to line up the remaining bolts

Roy,      25Nm  or 18.44 ftlbs      Read 82 times and no one replied, no one knows crap around here I guess

It was 23ftlbs on the older SB but that changed w/Piaggio engineers

Don't forget to install axle through swingarm before tightening.

Peter,
        It's just a name some have given to the rear transmission
