Freewheel Assembly On Magneto Flywheel - PIAGGIO 500 cc Service Manual

Flywheel and starting system
N.B.: the torque limiter is provided with 4 gears that
function as clutch driving plates. The driven plates are
made with 4 Belleville washers with a splined shape;
this assembly allows to transmit torques below 10 kgm.
In case of wrong starting operations, any counterstrokes
likely to damage the engine structure are avoided by
the limiter, with consequent reversal of rotation of the
driving shaft.The limiter assembly cannot be over-
hauled. If defects are found on the toothed disks, it is
recommendable to replace the assembly.
