Hub problem

[Ex_Rider43]

My left hub is always loose. I re-tight it and a week later its loose again.do you have any tips to tight it forever.(well not forever I want to striped down my 400 this winter).

thanks

Mine come loose every once in a while also. I just get out the 3/4 drive rachet and crank it down again.

put in a carter pin, then it'll never come loose until you take the pin out

use some blue lock tite and for sure use a cotter pin if you don't already have one on there.

hey razorback with loctite is it easy to remove the hub after???

Get an air wrench , tighten it down with that, then put a little blue locktite around it and let it set for about 2 days.
I did that on my 300ex and it worked good, I have no problem getting the hubs off.

Where did u get your front spacers and how much were they?
Do you notice your front shocks bottom out any more than they used to when your bike was stock?

it's not that you do not have the nut tight enough. I have this problem too, it is the splines on the hub getting worn out. The cotter key or lock tite will not do anything for itjust keep cranking every week or so.

Or have your little sister torque it down for ya..:eek: J/K;)

with the blue loctite you can remove it no problem, but there are other colors, like red, i think, that make it near impossible to remove the nut. if what gnccer says is what is happening to yours, it may not make much of a difference, but i've started using the loctite on several nuts that are prone to loosening.
