2004LEBanshee Posted October 3, 2004 Report Posted October 3, 2004 Does anyone have a problem with there chain adjusting bolts comeing loose? Every now and then I manage to lossen the whole chain adjusting system and the rear end flops around. I tighten the shit out of it. I dont wanna use loctite because I adjust kinda often. What do you guys do to stop this? Quote
oldturtle Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 For the complete rear end to come loose you must not be correctly torquing the two rear axle housing to swing arm bolts. The upper should be 88 ft lb and the lower should be 44 ft lb. I need help to get these torqued correctly. Another trick is to use some type of wooden handle tool between chain and sprocket and rotate rear axle backwards to hold chain tight while tightening the upper and lower bolts. This will hold the two chain adjusting bolts tight against the axle housing. You will still be able to turn the two chain adjust bolts in about 1/8 turn without moving anything. You probably should locktite the two chain adjust lock nuts but I never need to. Quote
2004LEBanshee Posted October 4, 2004 Author Report Posted October 4, 2004 I'm always worried about snapping the bolts. Typical yama junk metal. Quote

fixitrod Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 I use to have that problem too. I switched to nylon locking nuts and make sure not to keep my chain to tight. Been fine since. Quote
