Better off having a look for workshop manual for it, buy one or pinch one from the web if you can find it, what bike?

Do you have a workshop manual?

Do you have a torque wrench and socketts?

If you don't have either then then you are asking for trouble imo

Drop it out and open it up, the top end and both crank cases are easy to remove, 30 minute job. I never needed to split the centre crank cases on mine, didn't fancy it anyway, apparantly it isn't much fun Confused

There probably was a manual published, but you have no chance of finding one (I have one for the early Aprilia AF1 and it is the only one I have seen or heard of for it).

You should be able to find a manual for an RS50, and much of the earlier shape one will be close enough.

All the best
