    Is an 85 Tecate flywheel bolt reverse thread?

    Picked up an 85 basket down in Glamis and have been putting back together. Have 84 KX 250 flywheel, cylinder, head, and all electronics. Went to put on flywheel and cant get bolt started? Cant tell what threads are doing, dont want to tap the wrong direction!

    Ya got the righty tighty thing! All my mx bikes have reverse thread on flywheel bolt/nut. Just wondering if this applies to this model motor?
