Shaft power P = (2(pi) * (angular Speed in rpm) * (Torque at shaft)/ 60
Torque of a solid shaft is given by (pi/16)* (Shear stress of material of shaft) * (Dia of shâft3).

How do you get the exhaust flaps out of a 2001 Cr125 cylinder?

You first need to remove the side cover at the top of the
cylinder on the right side. Once this is removed you will expose
the power valves and power valve actuator rod. You will need to
remove a cotter pin that holds the actuator rod to the power valve
shaft. You can then remove the power valve shaft. The power valves
will come out through the exhaust port. It is best to have the
cylinder head removed and expansion chamber removed for access. If
the shaft wont pull out it is because of carbon build up. You will
need to spray the shaft and valves with solvent. The shaft should
pull out.

What is a rotating shaft?

There are many, many examples. Generally, rotating shafts are
used to transmit power from a producer to a user device. A few
examples: Drive shaft in an automobile- transmits power from the
engine to the wheels. Propeller shaft in a ship- transmits power
form the engine to the propeller. Pump shaft- transmits power from
a motor to the pump impeller. Rotating shafts are all over the
place. You can find dozens of examples in the typical appliances in
any typical home.
