From: "LarryInEastTn" Eff _ on 23 Sep 2008 19:27 Shirley a round of Young's Double Chocolate Stouts for everyone that's gathered here tonight, while I pick at the collective knowledge base. It appears that my compensating sprocket nut may have loosened due to general abuse of the entire drivetrain, hell the entire motorcycle if the truth were told<g>, and while perusing the manual for the torque value I found the following: "Used sprocket nut: apply two drops of red loctite to threads, hand tighten in clockwise direction. Insert primary drive locking tool on top strand of primary chain. Tighten engine compensating sprocket nut to 75 ft-lbs. Mark a straight line on the engine compensating sprocket nut, continuing the line over onto the sprocket cover. Tighten the engine compensating sprocket nut an additional 45 to 50 degrees." IIRC wasn't there a bulletin about an update to the torque process? A higher torque value, more additional degrees after torque value was attained, something? Anybody else remember something about this? Also would you go ahead and remove the nut, & re-loctite it, or just torque it down to specs, whatever that may turn out to be? Go ahead and get another Stout from Shirley, if you can get Kickstart to leave her alone long enough, while I contemplate if I want to risk death and/or serious injury by not unhooking the battery when I start working on it. -- Larry 2006 FLHTC

Anything else I can not help you with? <g> Also, it's a negative on those part #s for the Deuce sliders, thanks for looking, and the offer. ++++++++++++++++ M-1170 Compensating Sprocket Torque Procedure May 27, 2005 Purpose This Bulletin documents a torque and turn-of-nut procedure for tightening the engine compensating sprocket. This procedure improves the clamp load on this assembly and replaces the present tighten-to-torque procedure. Motorcycles Affected All 2003 through 2005 Touring, Softail, and Dyna model motorcycles including CVO models with Twin-Cam engines. Production vehicles began using this procedure May, 2005. Dealer Action Update all service literature and notify service technicians. To assure this procedure is used, insert this Service Bulletin number in the TORQUE VALUES tables in Section 6.1 SPECIFICATIONS of the Service Manuals covering Touring, Softail and Dyna models for model years 2003 through 2005.

You must remove the compensator nut and clean out all traces of the previous Locktite so the compensator nut tightens down correctly. I have a junk crank I thread the nut onto to be sure it bottoms out completlely. You must also remove all oil from the nut and shaft for the new application of Locktite to be effective. Apply two drops of red to the inside of the nut and 2 drops on the shaft threads. I have a big electric impact that runs the nut down to 150 ft lbs very nicely. Never had one come loose (done plenty this way) (very hard to get back off after this treatment). Save the Youngs for someone who can appreciate it, make mine a Rum & Coke -- Ryder Rick < >

Hmmm, excellent choice, tks for the beer. > It appears that my compensating sprocket nut may have loosened due to > general abuse of the entire drivetrain, hell the entire motorcycle if the > truth were told<g>, After watching you disappear into hi-speed turns on the Dragon, this is no surprise. You ride it like you're on a Huyabusa. H-D's were not meant for that. Have you considered a Harley-Davidson MV Agusta? |
