  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

250-500cc WXC360 counter sprocket bolt torque?

Husqvarna
AA Class
As the title states I'm curious what the tightening torque of the counter sprocket bolt is? I searched this forum but couldn't find specific info. I have a manual for a '99 WR360 (mine is a '92) but am unsure if the tightening torque value is listed, the primary gear nut is listed but not sure if that is what I'm looking for because the counter sprocket is held on by a bolt.

Also, what is the desired technique to torque the bolt? I took a stab at 40 lb-ft dialed on the wrench and tightened while holding the rear brake, this succeeded in snapping the bolt :(. Fortunately it was easily extracted, 40 lb-ft doesn't seem excessive to me, perhaps the bolt was fatigued? Should Loctite be used?
 
Thanks, that'd be great. It would stand to reason that 40 is too much considering the failure.
 
it is as Rancher says lower, but WAY more important is red locktite
had one fall out and the sprocket fell off and the bike skidded to a stop
torque is based of fastener stretch values

Makes sense to me. Correct me if I'm wrong but red locknite will most likely require an impact wrench to remove? Which won't be an issue considering I had to use one to remove the old sprocket.
