How to fix crank bolt issue?

Ive not had the issue so might not be the best person to give advice on it

FWIW obviously you want to check if the bolt is tight 110N.m I think

if it moves before 110 you need to take it off and throurougly clean up and degrease the threads and the inside of the drive gear and the crank where the drive gear sits

check the nut can actually tighten properly onto the gear without fouling on the woodruff key or the shaft. also do a visual check for cracking in the keyway of the gear. lineaweaver suggests having that area shotpeened I think.

manual calls for loctite 2701 on the threads could use 680 on the gear/shaft maybe

I copied what JBS racing has done with a lock washer check his gallery for pics

Hi tawheed,
I don't think a loose crank nut was an issue in 2007. Seems to me it was just a special bulletin in 2005.
(someone will be along shortly to tell me I'm wrong). :roll:
If it wasn't an issue, don't worry about it.
