Info Please Gentlemen

I am struggling to find the correct torque figure for 320 Majesty head nuts, any ideas? Also, how long should the rear shocks be (original spec.) for a 320 Maj? One last thing, which are the best new shocks for my bike? Thanks in advance.

These figures are for a TY250 T/S and are straight out of the CYCLESERVE TY250B servicing manual. I dont know that they can be applied to the Majesty Yams, but I dont see why not, as nuts and bolts are the same whatever!

The Cylinder Head Nuts are 8mm and are 2.1 - 2.5 m-kgs.

The Cylinder Cap Nuts are 10mm and are 4.2 - 4.5 m-kgs.

To convert this to ft-lbs use a rounded off multiplier of 7.233.

I hope this will be of some use to you.

the cyclinger head bolts should be set the same as the ty250 , as they were not changed when the barrel was bored out . you could always anneal the copper head gasket ( softening it to make a better seal ) by warming it with a blow lamp then quenching it in cold water . this softens the copper .

the standard shocks fitted to the 250 and 320 majestys were girling gas shocks with 13.5" centres . and double springs .

Many thanks to you both for the info, My Maj is nearly ready to go after 16 years in bits! I will try and post some pictures if I can work out how to!
