Rear sprocket bolts

Post by ducatipete »

Just replacing my sprockets and chain (using 40 tooth replacement sprocket in stead of 38 tooth). The 5 bolts are M8 x 35 full thread, should these be plain with thread on end as noticed grooves cut in aluminium cush plate? and small part of thread under the head is also damaged. Can post photos if this helps...

If you feel better use partially threaded hex screws (mine are).
Be sure you use new nyloc nuts (I even used an additional drop of loctite), torque it (26 Nm) and all should be ok. :thumbup:
