Hello All,
Most of you will already be aware of this as a common occurrence but I thought I'd share.
These are the two most serious of the fixings that I have found to be loose (upon first check):
Front Sprocket Nut. Saved by lock washer!
Rear Sprocket bolts - 4 out of 5 were loose, 2 of which were finger tight only!
I checked my rear sprocket while I had the rear wheel out for a pre track-day tyre change.
Just thought I'd reiterate in case anyone was in two minds about checking. CHECK THEM! If they're loose, clean adequately, apply Loctite 243 and torque them to spec.

Good advice. What are the torque specs for those bolts?
