About a month ago I had 4 of my rear sprocket bolts break off. The rest of the studs were all loose except 1. I was only going abou 20 mph at the time.It tore up my rear sprocket into 3 peices. I checked it agin today and it was
slightly loose after riding hard this weekend.I guess i will have to lock tight
the sh%$#t out of it.Also i read in a mag that this has happend to other racers.I ordered a new chain and sprocket set anyway to have on hand just in case!!!! has anyone had any other things loosen up on their raptors??????????
please post....

The stock locking tabs will fool you to think that the bolts are OK. Tabs are in place so it looks like the bolts are tight but if you check them they will be loose. I just took off the tabs, added Locktite, and then you can put a wrench on them easily before every ride or two. Hoped this helped.
