Actually, I mis-spoke there. It's adequate preload you need and lube insures that X torque = Y preload. Preload is what holds bolted joints together, not torque. Torque is the means to get the preload. Go fast. Take chances. Mike S.

Well, it's a specialized tool, but not so specialized that it won't work on just about any bike out there. http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/tools/category/gear_jammer_gear_locking_tool/ Before I had this tool, I would fold some copper & jam it between the gears. The gear jammer from Motion Pro is very slick. It has a magnet to help hold it in place. -Jeff- |
