Hi,
I have a 2001 Yamaha warrior 350. Yesterday when I was riding, the nut that holds the front sprocket came off, and after closer inspection I saw that the threads on the output shaft that holds the nut were stripped. They were stripped down to nothing. So I am wondering if I can just re tap this shaft for a slightly smaller nut, and call that good to hold the sprocket? I would much rather do this than to have to replace the entire shaft and take apart the engine. If I can do this, is there any specific thread type (coarse or fine, right hand, left hand, etc.) I should use? Or will this not work and I am best off replacing the whole shaft? Thanks for the help
