Stripped output shaft... - dcurzon - 29-03-17
My 90k old '99 was making the odd rattle, so today, having just shelled out on tyres, I decided to check, and look and behold, the front sprocket nut had spun loose and Stripped the shaft. (Yes it was the newer type nut).
Options?
Or break the bike?
It's my work horse :/
Re: Stripped output shaft... - darrsi - 29-03-17
For info purposes, d'ya know what Nm the nut was torqued at, and was it Loctite'd?
Re: Stripped output shaft... - fazersharp - 29-03-17
I have seen people on here weld the sprocket on
Re: Stripped output shaft... - Fazerider - 29-03-17
Yes, just weld the nut on. It's what I've done to mine.
Sounds barbaric, but it does the job and when the C&S needs changing you can cut the weld with an angle grinder and reweld afterwards.

I'll get a mobile welder type guy to blob it on.
It was torqued to FT, and the Luckington tab was in place

I read somewhere Yamaha would put them right if they chewed the shaft, I don't know if it applies to 2nd hand bikes but worth a try, I'd call yamaha national office first a local dealer will probably tell you no because they won't want to do it unless it comes from upstairs.

Had it welded up by local bike shop, lasted a couple more weeks but the weld didn't hold. Can't be bothered with it now, so she'll be up for sale.

Are you selling as a whole or parts 8)
Re: Stripped output shaft... - Drezza - 24-04-17
Price and location for whole bike?
Re: Stripped output shaft... - dcurzon - 24-04-17
I dont really want the hassle of parting it out.
If someone wants it at 450 they can take it.
Bring a welder and happy for you to weld the nut on and have a cuppa and ride it away, or bring a van or trailer. Or risk riding it as is.
Essex, 5 mins off m11
