Technical Resource Discussion / Re: belt drive
« Last post by larryb8415 on August 10, 2025, 12:38:17 PM »
Well, as it turns out, my castle nut is the larger of the two.  But it luckily my local car parts store had the socket I needed. 

So to sum up, Bike 572 has a 1 5/16 Castle Nut and a 1 1/4 bolt head.

And tightening the belt fixed the chirp. 

Thanks for the help.

Loosening the castle nut will loosen the complete axle to adjust belt.
Factory, that axle bolt comes in from the muffler side, which in turn makes the mechanic pull the upper muffler, to get that axle bolt out. So remember when you reinstall that axle, put it back in opposite of OEM.... from the left side.
I'll wander out to the shop, and see what that wrench size is....   

Castle nut is 1 1/4". And believe it... the axle bolt head is different 1 5/16". I knew they were different, just couldn't remember sizes.
Good luck...

I'm sure it's very loose, I'm going to tighten it a bit.  (I've been living with it since my post.) In any case, here are my next questions: 1:when loosening the rear axel, do I only open on the castle nut?  2 before I go buy a whole set... is the castle nut 1 5/16 or 1 3/8?

The engine was running and then stopped.
The starter is definitively gone, no chance to rebuild. A new starter is coming in days, I try with that and start the engine, we'll see...
About 2000 miles ago I let change the gears, I don't know if something got assembled in a wrong way.
