#394977 Greysnake (User) I'm so far behind I think I'm first. Platinum Boarder Posts: 15025 Re:Gears, Gears and more Gears 6 Years, 8 Months ago   That depends on how long it ran like that. Do you have any oil leaking around the pully shaft. If not then it's probably ok. But without seeing it don't know. Mine has worked loose. If I'm thinking you have the one that you take a drift punch and reset the flange on the nut after you tighten it.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #395041 coot53 (User) E=Mc1700 Platinum Boarder Posts: 1717 Re:Gears, Gears and more Gears 6 Years, 8 Months ago   Greysnake wrote: That depends on how long it ran like that.

If I'm thinking you have the one that you take a drift punch and reset the flange on the nut after you tighten it. Thats the setup I have. Just changed to a 31T pulley last week and the locknut has the flange that you stake into the slot in the shaft also used red loctite and be sure to put the heavy washer on with the side marked "OUT" on the outside, It is crowned and the crown must be on the outside   Logged     [img size=150][/img] Cooter Scooter 06 Roadstar   The administrator has disabled public write access. #401149 TVoso (User) God moves mountians. Faith and prayer moves God. Expert Boarder Posts: 532 Re:Gears, Gears and more Gears 6 Years, 7 Months ago   Anyone know what the outcome of this thread is?? Was it the Front Pulley nut?? Last night I'm riding two up on some unfamiliar roads. . . Going down hill I'm using 5th gear to kinda keep the speed in check and I hear this noise coming from between me and the wife down around the pulley that sounds like bearings 'swishing' around. This was an all of a sudden noise first time I had ever hard this. . .I'll be taking the cover off this afternoon after work but just wondering how likely it is the nut?? Thanks Tim   Logged     Keep the rubber down and the shiny side up! Tim   The administrator has disabled public write access. #401171 nightstar57 (User) ride it like ya paid for it ..

The blue/medium loctite is a strong holding product but the red loctite is just about impossible to get off later on ,been there mult times over the yrs. Have actuall had bolt break due to red loctite holding so dang tight. I only use the red loctite for extreem condtions like flwheel/pressure plate bolts on hi perf motor but other then that i have never had the blue loctite loosen up on anything i have used it on like my motorcycles/cars/car motors /items with plenty of vibration and or force applied and blue loctite has never let go on me.

Expert Boarder Posts: 532 Re:Gears, Gears and more Gears 6 Years, 7 Months ago   Just to let everyone know. . . .It wasn't the nut, it was good'n tight (Did I really JUST say that??) anyway there's a lot of Oil and Chat roads here in ILL and one of the main roads I travel was "re-paved". When I pulled the cover off I had about 8-12 chat rocks in there. Had to wait for the garage to cool off so will give her a test ride this afternoon. I also found out the rear tire is shot after a little over 9K. Now wondering if that chat eats tires for breakfast? I'm down to the cord of a d404. . .   Logged     Keep the rubber down and the shiny side up!

Toss parts and covers you don't need, lose some weight and it looks nice......   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #401741 SPUDWRENCH12 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 863 Re:Gears, Gears and more Gears 6 Years, 7 Months ago   TVoso, I worked on building that new power plant 5 miles south of your house.The roads are very nice for riding as far as scenery goes but they are abrasive on tires....i run the same tire on the back of my bike it has 4500 on it and it looks new. we will have to ride some time, I'm in florissant,mo.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
