My bike is so old its probably rusted on... no worries.. course I lost several body fasteners @ PPIR... bought some very cool blue ones today.. I figure they're good for 20-30 HP

Just ask King Nothing

or why not buy a bike that always runs and stays in one piece , Maybe someone should alert Yamaha to this and they can call Honda for tips on building a solid bike

I looked at mine last night, and it's still holding in place, but I'm considering safety wiring it just for that extra piece of mind. My question is, do you safety wire the nut to the washer or to the sprocket itself?

Wire it to the countershaft. Put the entire assembly together and torque the nut to the proper spec, then drill a hole either straight through the whole shaft/nut or at an angle through the end of the shaft up through the nut. This way you know that once you tighten it enough to line the holes up you are also at the proper torque (or damn close).

You could wire it to the sprocket and it would serve the same purpose, but then you have to worry about drilling every sprocket you own (and buy in the future) in addition to having to figure out a way to install the sprocket properly every time in such a way the the holes in it will line up with the hole in the nut after it is tightened.

Thanks!

The sprocket that's on there now has several holes drilled all around it (maybe 6 or 8 of them - didn't count), so I figured I could just wire it to the closest set of holes. I didn't think that the next sprocket might not have those holes.

Weld the sprocket on

Hey Cat,

What ever happened with your bike???


BTW, I wired the countershaft & nut together on my old R6 - the countershaft has a shallow hole countersunk into the center of it. I just started from inside of that and drilled outwards - worked like a charm!

[Cat118!]

I think that is what they ended up doing to it...

So did TK take care of you then?

I'm just wondering if you still have the same opinion of them as when you started this thread.

[RAGrote]

First and most importantly I had a sprocket come of on my '03 R6, twice.

LOCTITE!!! and safety wire...
