Hi Ho! Silver! He's on it...

If you don't have a primary locking tool, a 3" brass door hinge covered in duct tape does the trick!
Has worked for me any time I've needed it. Which has been more often then I ever imagined!

and it's RIGHT HAND thread greg. not to be confused with clutch pack which is LEFT HAND thread.

Basically all wrong information so far.... Except John, it is right hand.

2008 they went to a bolt, not a nut, which requires a different torque of 155-165ft-lb. And calls for red locktite

Up AZ nailed it,,

From my 2008 manual
Engine sprocket bolt needs loctite 271 (red) and tighten to 155-165 ft-lbs(210-224 Nm)
Install mainshaft washer with word out facing away from the clutch hub. Use loctite (271) and install nut ( left handed thread ) tighten to 70-80 ft-lbs(94.9-108.5Nm)
Boom!

I was confused. The thread says 09 but the pic clearly shows a pre 2008. I guess the photo isn't from his bike?
Photo shows a nut, not a bolt.

I think I've posted this about 100 times
www.buellmods.com for a service manual. Helps eliminate confusion b
