iconic558 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Well I couldn't remember when I removing the clutch basket this morning if the nut was RHT or LHT, googling didn't help and as the basket revolved clockwise I thought well it would be LHT....wouldn't it? But before I got my windy (well main'sy) on the bugger and had an exploding first motion shaft (or would that be input shaft?) I thought I'd better get on the blower to the font of everything 'Speedy Working Motor', his Holyness and the Right Reverend Mr Matthews. Martin confirmed that the thread was indeed RHT and that are no 'trick' threads on an SWM...so hopefully the next person with the same problem will hit google and find this thread and think ahh that was handy PS later day SWM's....ya on ya own.

Well, to put it another way, all threads on an SWM twinshock are right hand thread. ...a few bikes have the odd left hand thread, usually found on items such as engine clutch basket nuts, primary gears, front sprockets even the flywheel....my Montesa has quite a few for example and OSSA flywheel can be on later models.
