drive shaft rotating direction

[wildweasel_pt]

Hi all
I can't recall so can anyone tell me the direction it rotates if seen from behind the bike please? Im almost sure its clockwise but im having a blank and need some other dudes input on this... Thanks

I agree, clockwise....and the diagram supports that.

I never really paid attention. The pinion is to the left of the ring gear and meshes with the front portion so it seems clockwise would be correct.

It HAS to be clockwise, or the wheel would run backwards..

That could be a great prank...

Thank you very mucho... Yeah i forgot to think of the final drive... Of course its clockwise like left tranny bikes are or you wouldn't be able to remove the final drive crown unless removing pinion first (as crown would be outwards of pinion, or left of it instead of the real right)...
