Hi peeps!
I'm working on my R1 rear end and I noticed that the OEM sprocket nuts have a piece of metal on the end of it. :dunno:
I'm buying the Pro-bolt TI flanged nut M8 x (1.25mm) gold soon to replace the OEM one ugly shizzet
Will this Pro-bolt M8 TI Flanged nut needs to have that metal piece. Or I'm good with this Probolt M8 nut
That should only be about 30 ft/lbs not 71, the manual is wrong and a few people have had the bolts strip or snap off trying to get to 71.
My BST's clearly stated on 29ft/lbs and that's the reason I wanted locking nuts.
Are ALL of the manuals wrong on this ? Pretty sure my '00, '06 and '12 have 71 ft.lbs. in the manuals. Thanks for letting me know ! Guess I've been lucky all these years then, never broke or stripped anything.
i tighted my hollowed front sprocket nut to the oem spec and it snapped had to put my oem one back on and loose the axle slider. they do have them a lil tight. i just snugg them down and give another 1/4 turn now
Hi Ron!
yeah Ian is right, i can always use loctite if i use the "Golden" nuts. I dont want to go the "natural" nut color. Cuz my sprocket is golden and wheels and chain and and and :lol
