Stripped output shaft...

[dcurzon]

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 :/

[darrsi]

For info purposes, d'ya know what Nm the nut was torqued at, and was it Loctite'd?

[fazersharp]

I have seen people on here weld the sprocket on

[Fazerider]

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.

[dcurzon]

I'll get a mobile welder type guy to blob it on.

It was torqued to FT, and the Luckington tab was in place

if you decide to break the bike get in touch with me i will have the wheels and tyres of you in a heartbeat
-dont need wheels but tyres i do lol

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.

Maybe a few years ago but only then if it happened on a factory fit nut, so not a replaced one

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.

Hmmm stainless steel exhaust you say  Are you selling as a whole or parts 8)

[Drezza]

Price and location for whole bike?

[dcurzon]

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
