    Hi, I'm looking for the torque spec for the large nut that holds the drive shaft flange on the output shaft. For whatever reason, I can't find it in the manual I found. All the manual says is "torque to spec" then moves on. I replaced the seal behind it during our rebuild of our 1982 Yamaha XJ750 Maxim.

    Interesting, I'll have to figure out how to stake this nut then. I believe it wasn't staked when I got there and it doesn't have the typical thin walled section for staking. That torque seems perfectly reasonable for that size fastener though, so I'll run with that and loctite at the worst case.

    Do you happen to know the torque for the neutral safety switch? In the manual it says "tighten" in the only spot I've found so far.

    The Haynes manual gives no torque spec for the neutral switch.
