I call it a 'pre-flight check' same as an airplane.
Something goes wrong you cant just pull over and stop as in a car, not always.
Was cleaning the bike and saw this cracked sprocket nut.
Sure I got four others but still not nice to see.
IT IS A PRO-BOLT ALUMINUM SPROCKET NUT WITH A STEEL INSERT.
It was torqued to their specs and has been fine for approx 2 months/1500 miles.
I wash bike regularly and slow spin wheel by hand while sitting down to clean it.
For sure I would have noticed it.
So it has only happened in the last one or two rides.
Again no biggie but you never know and should always take 5-10 mins to give her a look see before you take flight !
Lucky kit I ordered came with six and Busa only takes five so I had a spare to put on but now I am thinking about just junking all of them and putting the factory ones back on.
