Re:Circle jerk from YAMAHA !!! 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Awe C'mon....I think your starting a panic here....why is this the first we've heard about this, and now all of a sudden it's happening to everyone, we need a nut recall.....Chill Will...how many have checked the aformentioned nut and washer and found it to be OK? How many miles y'all got on the bikes in question that are bad??? Sounds like when Kissenger got his by-pass back in the 70's, man, next thing ya knew, everyone when out and got a by-pass

This problem isn't year specific it has happened to all years but mostly up to 05 and now 06 models. My 05 has backed off twice. Last time I double bent the tabs over the nut and red lockitite so far so good my 07 shows no sign of backing off. I would recommend to check it at least once a year if not more. It doesn't take long and might save you a lot of bucks.

Re:Circle jerk from YAMAHA !!! 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Just to clear things up port is the other left side of the bike.

And my bike is a 06 and it has 22,000 miles and had no lock washer ??

it has the nut which gets punched to the shaft on two spots. As far as getting
everyone worked up ,you would be crazy not to check this on your bike after
reading my post and others that this has happen to !!!!
I wish I had seen this earlier cause now I'm out a bike , unemployed , and
looking at about $1000.00 if I bring it to the shop
At the dealer today he printed out the cost for pulley , middle drive shaft
nut , conical spring washer = $487.98 and that not all that is needed for the job !
