Cam chain guide

[Toes]

I have purchased a Laverda RGS 1000. The previous owner removed what looks like a cam chain guide from thebottom of the motor. This is held on by 2 nuts. It is alloy with a curved guide which fits under crank near camchain. The curved guide is offset with punch mark. Could someone please tell me which way it fits ?
Thanks

Toes, go to the search function and type in cam chain pedestal guide, all will be revealed. Lotsa good stuff to be found in Library also, workshop manuals etc.

Well done for noticing
Is there a matching punch mark on the sump? Maybe the previous owner marked it.

The punch mark is ex-factory. Looking into the cavity will reveal the pedestals' orientation. All very obvious.

not easy to view the crank sprocket if the motor is still in the chassis

To quote an illustrious Forum member:

"The narrow, flush side, goes towards the alternator.

Look carefully and you may find a centre punch mark on the top side of the pedestal semicircle on that side.

If you put it in the other way round, the wider offset shoulder will rub on the crank."

Hi Toes, welcome to the forum. I'm guessing this is the RGS just sold on the forum? You will find lots of help here. A few other forum members in the Albury Wodonga area

There is a factory tool to make it easier…..the spring makes a small diff to clutch rattle at idle.
When you crack the shits and leave the springs out…… it will still work fine
Each to there own!
