Hey there everyone with the dura blue axle...... I was thinking about how the lock nut that comes with it seem to always come loose on us Raptor guys. We just put a durablue on my buddies Z400 and the nut is on the chain side instead of the brake side. I thought about maybe trying to reverse the axle and install it like that insted of how our instructions said to install it. His has never come loose so I think it would work for us too since the threads would then go the other way and maybe keep it tight instead of always working loose.. What do you guys think about that idea???

 

The thickness of the splined areas on the axle are different size...if you swap it over you won't be able to use your brake or your sprocket on the correct side(that doesn't work).

Did I understand you right?

 

Hey, your right jay, it won't work. But I have a solution. Slap a little loctite on that baby and a wrap of elec tape (100mph works too).
Both mine came loose all the time and this stopped it first time.

 

Well that sux, it was just an idea.. I have been using loctite but it still works a little loose every now and again, I will try the tape idea with it, thanks for the replies. I tried [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Tape on the threads or around the nut?
