Hawk Rear Sprocket Failures - reason why.

did you happen to look at the studs and see if there was any play in them?

I replaced mine because I had one that was stripped when i got the bike, it looked like it was cross threaded and cranked on with an air gun.
I got 4 new ones from a local Honda dealer, the new ones were much tighter fitting in the hub, I had to grease them up and tap them in with a mallet.

Im not sure what the tolerance is for them but the ones that came with the bike would go in and out without any resistance at all.
