Carter: Mysterious word that shows up in bizarre places in my poorly-translated motorcycle shop manual, eg:

- "This tool is used to install the dry clutch carter"

- "Lubrication system: Forced, with humid carter"

- "Pinion carter upper fixing screw, M6 thread, 10 n/m fastening torque"

- "Rotate the phonic wheel clockwise by acting on the nut E, bringing the PMS aligned with the carter reference F"

- "Half-carter closing fastening torques"

- "REMOTE CONTROL SWITCH : Placed on the left side of the bike near the pinion carter"

I have no fucking idea what it means. In some places it's a fairing. In others it's a dowel. In others it's a fillet.

"Forced with humid carter" should mean "pressurized wet sump" but I am utterly gobsmacked as to how to get from Point (A) to Point (B).
