However, it IS possible to clean everything up, red Loctite everything, not just the nut threads, but all contacting surfaces, and it can hold. Mine had some play, after I found it loose, and someone else here said I could do that... that were right. But, I need to pull the cover and check it again before this season of riding, just to make certain.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1002390 Jaybo (User) Here, hold my beer...

Didn't make it to Napa before they closed so I'll try to get to Harbor freight tomorrow maybe.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1002391 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter!

It's a great opportunity to change your gear ratio. DK what size your primary is. I went from 32T to 33T and love it. You probably already have a 33T.   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/02/25 22:19 By Shores.   The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1002413 Jaybo (User) Here, hold my beer...

If it is 32 I would for sure want to go to 33 since I am always looking for that one last gear.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1002417 masterhermit (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 583 Re:Front Drive Pulley Nut Maint. 12 Months ago   it happened to me before i knew there could be such a problem..... cost me $$$$ to replace worn parts. this is what i use and recomend.... for the splins http://www.henkel-adhesives.com.au/3319_AUE_HTML.htm?nodeid=8797928521729 and then use high strength thread lock on the nut.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1003082 Jaybo (User) Here, hold my beer... Gold Boarder Posts: 980 Re:Front Drive Pulley Nut Maint. 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago   OK I finally got a proper socket to remove the pulley, here is what I found: and Looks like some wear on the shaft and none on the pulley, at least to me. There is no lock washer or a slot in the shaft for one either. Guess I'll pick up the Loctite 680 Masterhermit suggested and see what it does. Others thoughts?   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/03/03 17:24 By Jaybo.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1003083 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter!

OK, fixed the photo's I would consider that if Mama wouldn't castrate me if I did. Besides I have some fancy paint coming. Hoping the loctite will get me through the year and I will revisit this winter. Is replacing that shaft a terrible job?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1003086 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter! Platinum Boarder Posts: 6961 Re:Front Drive Pulley Nut Maint. 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago   A few members have replaced the shaft and said it was relatively straight forward, just time consuming.   Logged     The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1003087 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7727 Re:Front Drive Pulley Nut Maint. 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Mine was worn, and had some play, too. I used the Red Loctite on every mating surface. Glued it all together, not just the nut threads. Try it!   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access.
