Is this the one-way over-run clutch for engine braking ? That's called the clutch shoe nut in the book, and it's 101.5 lbft.

There's also the starter clutch, which is the generator rotor nut, and it's 115.5 lbft.

I wouldn't do either of those nuts up that tight though, not on an old bike. The nut might strip, the threads on the shaft might strip, and it's probably possible that either hub could get forced down on their taper or splines and cause problems.

I'd do them up carefully, to about 65-70.. It will be plenty as long as the stator is clean and sitting nicely on the taper.

Thanks for the clarification Mech, i have always done the secondary clutch at half the torque of the primary, i think the book i was reading listed the secondary at 44 ft pds and the primary at 80.
