So my rear sprocket is wanting to loosen up on me - only four bolts on my X-Pro DLX / Orion RXB250. The book states 19ftlbs when alllll the rest of the manuals for the Hawks and others are much, much higher... I'm just wondering if I should up the torque??

I do NOT have a snap ring on the sprocket.. the sprocket is just attached with 4 bolts. I have applied some Loctite 242 blue the last time I noticed that one of the bolts was almost, like within a few millimeters of hitting the swing arm.. Had I not turned around when I did; may not be writing this now!

I'm seeing around 35-40ftlbs for bolt torque, not 19.. Also wondering if anyone with the RXB's could share their torque specs for the rear sprocket just for comparison.

I did look through the resources but I don't think this one is the same for the Hawk fix. There is no play with the sprocket when the bolts are tight either; it's all like it should be when tight. But this happens maybe around 250mi? I have thought about changing out rims because these are just.. meh, but didn't know size or anything to get for my bike...

Anything would help! Most definitely some torque info for others rear sprocket spec.

Thanks!
