Where has me nut post gone then !!

[fazersharp]

so we're looking for someone with a 98 0n original nut sprocket & chain who has had the nut drama.

Thats it

Okay, i hear yer, although 'how well it was put back on' shouldn't really sway your decision to change it anyway should it?
No point in finding out the hard way down the line, as the evidence still suggests that the nut in question simply doesn't have enough threads on it for the job in hand, and as far as i know you still have the same original nut as everyone else?

The putting it back on point is that 1 or two posters said that they had the issue, but then it turned out that the factory fitted nut had been taken off by the preivious owner to change sprockets and it then came off.
I 100% agree that 99 onwards need to replace the nut. All I was doing was trying to find yams statement that 98 fazers wer not affected to be wrong, but all I have found is that they are right.
I should be getting my nut from webmoto tomorrow I got it as I was ordering other stuff and cost no extra in post, but im not sure if I will be fitting it, as it looks like 98s dont need to
