MAICK Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 just wondering if any of you guys have ever had the nuts holding the cylinders to the case come loose on ya. i have had them do it twice, once was my fault. i installed a cub set up and started it and put it on the trailer. lasted about an hour then the cylinders loosened up and i got a real nice air leak. the second time it broke the front inner studs off both happed about a year apart on bitch weekend. and of course i get to listen to all the girls go, mike your banshee is a big ol piece of shit. since then i got lock bolts and i just carry a 12 mm wrench with me, and check them every once and a while. just wondering if you guys ever have this happen too?

bluebanshee421 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Are they torqued to the right spec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAICK Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 well i torque the nuts i can get a socket on, i know you can only get a shaved down 12 mm wrench on the inside front ones, makes it kinda hard to figure the torque. i do also put some blue locktight on them. now that i switched to lock nuts i dont think il have a problem. i was just wondering if any one else has ever had this problem before. it was kinda crazy the last time it happend i ran it a whole week at st anthonys, not problem. then a hour into it on my home turf in walden, boom lost my nuts. (and that aint any fun). but like i said i was just wondering if anybody has also had this happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
