    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...

    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.

Was looking through a bunch of clutch related postings and kept coming across references to an APE nut?

A google search came up with little usable info and a search here for "APE" or APE nut brought zero results.

So what is it? :confused:
 
Its a thicker nut than the stock clutch basket nut. The stock nut tends to loosen a lot. The APE version wont loosen.

I think it is harder as well.

CLUTCH HUB NUT
The factory Suzuki hub nuts are soft, allowing the threads to deform and come loose. This allows the hub assembly to wobble. The APE nuts are CNC machined from heat treated chrome moly steel. End of problem.
 
If that APE nut is too expensive for your blood get a 1150 OEM nut. It's larger and reputedly stronger than the 1000 or 1100 nut.
 
Ok. Well first you sneak up behind the monkey.....slowly and quietly lifting his tail.......
