I don't think you need loctite on the sprocket stuff first of all...

Anyone have a link to the service manual you can send this newbie for torque specs...?

By the way... Welcome...

I have the service manual, but not a link any more as I downloaded it to my rig. So, being the good busa owner I am, I looked it all up for ya.....

Per the service manual:

Rear sprocket: no loctite, 43.5lb-ft
Rear Brake disk: thread lock 1360, 25.5lbft (didn't know if you needed this)
Rear axle nut: no loctite, 72.5lb-ft
Front sprocket: thread lock 1342 on shaft threads, 105lbft
speed sensor rotor bolt: thread lock 1342, 13lb-ft

? locktite everything!!! think of the rotating mass, sprockets are zinging at high speeds....manual says red locktite. Doesn't take much, just a drop or two. Torque EVERYTHING according to the manual. If nothing else, just go into the shop manual (sticky pinned) and print off the torque specs page. Be especially careful with the speed sensor, they have a history of coming loose and will bust your case up. If you're going to work on your own bike, buy not only a good ft/lb torque wrench, but also an in/lb wrench as well. NOT a wrench from china, this is where you need to spend the money and get a good tool....craftsman is good and usually on sale. I even torque the oil plug after an oil change....

hummm. didn't think you needed loctite on the sprockets... I will keep that in mind for the next change coming up in a few weeks...
 
ya, both manuals I have say use the red stuff. Better safe than sorry, especially at the speeds we are running. This is an area that can quickly spell disaster when something comes loose....I can't imagine trying to fight a locked up rear wheel at 150+
