I noticed after a few rides the bolts needed nipping up so i keep an eye on it at the moment....
Hmmm, interesting, i believe it was Deefer who suggested the gasket was to separate the 2 metal surfaces of the sprocket housing.
Could this be the answer as to why there's a gasket there in the first place, to dull any vibration, perhaps ???
Rather than nipping up, they should be torqued evenly anyway, which could possibly be a reason for loosening?
Saying that, i have no gasket, and i do torque the bolts, but have never once had any such issues?
