    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

That coulda hurt!

Hey guys was out riding today and I came to a stop light and heard a Chunk a chunk chunk coming from my gear box... pulled over and with my trusty tool kit pulled the left side cover over.

Well my Nut had fallen off of my front sprocket :eek: I had it torqued right down after I did my chain/sprocket job. Now is there something I missed this should not be flying off like that.

The one thing I can think of is I have the washer in there backwards. I have Nut Washer sprocket, should it be Nut sprocket washer?


I am lucky I was just comin off the highway when this happened throwling a chain and a sprocket *shiver* don't even want to think about that
 
You had them in the right order if I am understanding you correctly. As installed on the bike it would go sprocket, washer, & then nut. If it doesn't have a locking washer on it that you fold over to lock the nut, then use some red Loctite. Use a 1/2 inch drive air impact to install the nut. Ray.
 
Excellent suggestion. I was wondering the same thing on my GPz, which has a non-locking washer also. Curious arrangement, but I guess it works. I am used to the folding washer arrangement.
