THIS GUY IS AN IDIOT DONT PAY ANY ATT TO HIM THE SPOKE BIT CHAIN BIT YES THE LOCK TITE BIT POSS BUT TRUTH IS I HAVE NEVER SEEN A REAR SPROCKET BOLT COME LOSE THEY ARE NORMALY COUNTER SUNK.
OR HAVE TABS THAT U BEND OVER.

HE CALLS THE IDLE SCREW AN AIR SCREW?
HE DOSNT TELL U TO OPEN AND SHUT THE REAR BREAK NIPPLE TO BLEAD IT THIS ALSO APLIES TO THE FRONT.

AND AS FOR ADDING MORE OIL IN FORK WELL DONT U WILL BLOW THE SEALS
IF THEY ARE NOT FULLY AJUSTABLE U CAN PUT HEAVER OIL IN NOT MORE OIL U CAN PUT HEAVIER SPRINGS IN.
IN SOME CASES U CAN EVEN LOAD THE SPRING WITH WASHERS DONT TRY IT

U NEED TO KNOW ABOUT REBOUND SAG PRE LOAD AND IF U DONT KNOW U WILL GET IT WRONG.
IF U ARE HEAVY U CAN WIND THE REAR SHOCK UP A BIT OR BUY A GOOD SHOCK THAT WILL ADJUST. :banghead:

hmmmm monki is right tho,,im not suprised so many people are having trouble,,with there brakes,,that guy in vid,seem to fluff there when,explaining,,open the nipple and pump..haaaa,,dont dont dont do it,,its wrong wrong wrong,im shure he thought he new what he was saying,,but thats no good to the kids on the other pages,pulling there hair out,,he explained it wrong,,,

rear sprockets with lock tight,,well i got a brand new wheel,,and it was aready lock tighted,,maybe the seller thought he was doing me a favour,,
i went to take the bolts out,and snap snap ,2 bolts,snaped,,the prob is we are not talking about yamaha and honda etc,use the lock tabs,and dont over tighten the bolts or you will crack the hub,,done this as well,,and didnt even go that mad,he said do it on all bikes,i dont think so..,thats why talon,supplied me with nilock nuts and countersunk bolts,so i wouldent need bang over washers or locktight,,ok,that was for bigger bikes,and talon dont make nice wheels to go and bangover washers,etc.but monki is correct here..i think tho on a proper bike,yam honda ,,etc,if you did use,,you have better bolts and better metal,,so they dont snap,or shed when you take them out,?????

mind you go ahead lock them all,on a pitbike, by the time your sprocket,needs changing,,the wheel will have spat the spokes and collapsed,,anyway lol lol,,and be back where it belongs,,ebay,,,oh i love the sh--t on ebay,,,

They do alright!, Mine came off a few weeks ago, all four of them and smashed my rear wheel, They part on the wheel where the bolts screw into cracked and now there is a big hole in part of my new back wheel!

I use nylon nuts on the back of my hub bolts, no chance of them coming loose
