Output Shaft Threads

[mkerocket1984]

I was going down the freeway the other day when the front sprocket on my 87 fzr1000 suddenly decided to come off the output shaft. I pulled off and found that the nut had spun off with the lock-tab washer, and that the sprocket had decided to ride on the shaft's threads (for the nut). Now, I have no threads and am trying to decide how to fix it. First I thought of putting a die on the shaft and re-threading it, but then I have to remove the engine from the frame and take off the water pump. Then I thought maybe I can take a pipe cutter and put a grove in the shaft and use a circlips/washer combo. Anybody have any thoughts or other Ideas? Thanks in advance<br><br>Casey <p></p><i></i>

Yea...I just did this for a guy with a 305 Kawasaki<br>I think it was a 20 x 1.5 thread. I just went and got me a hex die and ran that on the shaft. You certainly have to have enough meat left to thread so you'll have to make sure that you do...<br>But it's easy enough to do<br><br> <p>Jim <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ...

That's not good "M". If there's not enough material left to re-thread <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>STOP</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> there.<br> I changed the shaft on a transmission I sold just to avoid that problem, I know it <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>sucks</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, but it might be time for a teardown.<br> Wishing you luck though.................. <p></p><i></i>
