Looking for some advice and to see if anyone has had a similar issue. I have a 1977 GS750 that now, for the 4th time, has had the stator rotor come unpressed from the crank stub and backed the bolt out. There is no key way or splines for the rotor to grip the crank stub, only a tapered press fit. I have used lock tight and the bolt comes factory with a lock washer but neither one prevents the bolt from backing out. I'm assuming that the rotor is free spinning on the crank stub on heavy acceleration or deceleration/engine braking causing the bolt to back out. I'm temped to have a mobile welder come out and put a couple tack welds on to hold the two together. Any thoughts or experience on my situation?

get some valve lapping compound and work the rotor back and forth to get a better mating surface1978 GS 1000 (since new)

As the other post says some fine grinding paste and lapping the two surfaces to get a better fit, there is a very good product that Loctite makes called 660 quick metal that is made to solve the problem you have, clean the lapped surfaces thourerly coat the surfaces with the product tighten as normal do not start the bike and leave for 24 hours. It is not cheap but is an excellent product.The big guy up there rides a Suzuki (this I know)

Make sure you are also using red Loctite on the bolt (number 9 in this picture) that secures everything in place.

Just curious. What symptoms did you experience when rotor came loose?

Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.

Is 660 comparable to a metal epoxy like JB weld?Comment

I have never used jb weld but as the name suggests it may stick the parts together but can you get them apart? 660 is made so that it can be disassembled.Originally posted by Tyler View PostThe big guy up there rides a Suzuki (this I know)

Might be worth buying a new bolt, maybe the threads are stretched causing the repeated loosening,GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ESComment
