Has worked so far.
the local cycle shop supplied the 4mm taps.
A very effective method of keeping the nut in place if you have enough threads left to tighten the nut fully. I could not risk the full torque with two threads. I had seen something like it on a few Suzukis
However Yamaha Ireland supplied all the parts needed to strip and replace the shaft for half price. I could not complain really as the bike had covered 72000 miles
