My dealer just called me and let me know that Husky has put out a recall on the rear sprocket locknuts and that they are sending out some new ones under warranty. Hmm, looks like they're finally doing something about it... I've been checking mine fairly regularly and have yet to have one start to work loose after ~1500 miles...
I think (hope^^) that they only loosen within the first 1000km or something like that. Mine were loose after 800km but never loosened again afterwards.
Tightened mine when I got the bike but they still fell off with less than 1000 km on bike. Poor quality locknuts! Replaced with some from local bolt shop. No issues since.
I checked with Hall's. Mine isn't affected by the recall. My sprocket nuts haven't loosened up one bit since I got the bike.
My were locktited so I left them. But yeah, all of the lock nuts have those those funky cheapo looking locking tabs in the threads, not like a nyloc. I'm tempted to just replace all the nuts with nylocs and locktite them again. Is it an actual recall? Are they sending out notices to owners? Do you know what serial ranges are affected?
My dealer said it was an actual recall and they had sent out some packs of replacement nuts. I should probably have them in the mail today, I'll see what the difference is...
Mine are still tight (7000 kms) too and each of the nuts has a yellow safety paint bar on it. Maybe done by the dealer when the bike was new (Germans are like that).
