Hubs not staying tight...

[HondaMan222]

every time i come back from a ride, my rear hubs are always lose, there durablue, but i make them tight, and put a cotter pin in it, like it should have, but they still come lose. what could be the problem? thanks

Stock hubs are torqued to 101#'s and make sure they are greased.

[HondaMan222]

they have a little grease, but not a lot, should i put more?

Get used to it is all I can say. Mine come loose every other ride and have for years..:(

at practice at the track one time, my damn left rear hub came off when i landed a jump..lol.. the cotter key must have been to small and the thing just came out i guess, idk

[KASCHAK]

tighten the hell out of it.. and make sure you got grease..

dont worry about tourque specs..
i use an impact wrench never comes loose

[HiZ]

grease/anti-sieze and an impact!

If you want them to stay tight get some green locktight, clean the grease off of the splines and threads and the threads in the bolt, Apply a good helping of green locktight on the places i just mentioned reinstall the hubs put the hubnut back on with an impact and put the largest cotter key you can fit in the hole. It may take some time to dissasemble next time but everything should stay pretty tight as long as your hubs and splines are not worn.

Impact wrench, and a large cotter pin.

If you cant do that, then Loctite.

[RoadkillerRyan]

ya my left one started comin loose now my Chain comes loose every 30-45 min into a ride?
could it be my carrier bearing? that what some kids are tellin me

[TCracin440ex]

if your chain is comming of then its proally stretched and needs to be adjusted....if its your axle b earings lift the quad up by the grab bar and have some 1 shake the axle and watch and see if it moves arround on ya....
