Yamaha Ténéré 700 20k: Loose front sprocket nut!

[@gufra9835]

Big thanks! Keep coming your precious advices! Best regards!

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Thank you! As long as they're useful (people will tell me when I'm talking nonsens, I'm sure.)... I'll keep them coming.

I wonder how chain and sprocket sounds now. because it's noisy IMHO. and i read that by changing it, you can reduce annoying noises from there

[@cavscout62]

I can’t believe that Yamaha didn’t ping that sprocket nut man that’s crazy! Mine was done and I redid it after I went to a 16 tooth on my 2021.

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Well, I guess it is a good argument for regular maintenance and inspection on our side :)

[@alrightdave6135]

Good info. Will go and have a look at my t7 now...

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Please do!

[@cracotator]

Thanks a lot I'm new to your channel and I find it very instructive ! How did you tighten the nut ? 1st gear ? Using the rear break ? Both ?

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Thanks, very happy it is useful content. Considering the required torque it’s enough to ask someone to step on the rear break.

[@michaelbarros9432]

I hear a metallic noise every time i push the rpm a little bit higher. Can it be this?

[@befundara]

I have the same noise. Did you find out what it was?

[@servalico]

I have the same problem. Did you solve it?

[@adiloutmani7943]

Man, me too and its triggering me every time with the same noise

[@michaaugustyn2039]

I had the same case during changing the sprockets and chain in my Tracer 700...🤔 Similar mileage 22000 km.

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Good it coincide with the service intervals... :)

[@bcgal0004]

Mine came loose today 17500km

[@robsonenduro3316]

Cause these bikes are not made/assembled in Japan, probably France like mine tenere was...quality issues everywhere. Thanks God engine is made entirely in Japan. Anyway after delivery one should retighten all bolts and nuts and grease what should be greased.

[@FARANDFURTHER]

There is probably very few bikes still made in Japan. Still considering what I’ve put the T7 through it is holding up very well!

[@SjrkoTheGamer]

Ive heard people realising that the main bearings in the swing arm arent greased at all

[@FARANDFURTHER]

I have 40000 and they are still smooth as silk. There is loads of noise on Internet, check it yourself and you see. Maybe there is not a lot of grease but it seems to be fine on mine, for now.

[@hicasroute]

Thank you for the good tip. May i ask where did you bought the front sprocket JTF1591-15RB? I want to keep the standard size (15 teeth with Rubber Cushioned). Thank you!

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Hi Henrique, I'm in Czech republic and I bought it from the local supplier. I got the JT brand and the part numbers I ordered was as you say JTF1591RB - 15 teeth and JTR1876 for the rear one. Depending where you are there is also AFAM 21607 if the JT is tough to get.

[@hicasroute]

@@FARANDFURTHER Thank you. The JTF1591RB with 15 teeth is tough to get, but the one without RB is easy. Waiting for some answers from local supplier, hopefully one will have it.

[@ChrisSmith-bw1nt]

The word you mean is 'staked'.

[@FARANDFURTHER]

You’re, right! Non native speaker here, checked the manual... ‘stake the sprocket nut...’ Ups... 🤭

[@frankstone8930]

Mine came loose today.

[@patrickevrard313]

good tip. thanks

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Thanks! Glad it is useful.

[@MotoStrikerUnit7]

honestly i dont like the pinned thing makes it a pain in the ass to take off i would just red lock tight it

[@DrazenCika]

Original Yamaha XT600Z Tenere had a pin, and had no issues whatsoever, Loctite is overused on poorly engineered bikes like the KTM 😉

[@FARANDFURTHER]

A lot of people mention red Locktite (permanent). Maybe next time... I think it would be better solution because now you're supposed to use new nut because one has to stoke it to fix it, this would not be the case with Locktite.

[@scottyaustria]

@@FARANDFURTHER red loctite is "sort of" permanent, you heat it up with a torch and then you can remove it again. but that would be a pai in the field. I'd prefere a spline going through the nut and axle. so you can reuse them all the time.. and onethjng abput loctite not a lot ofpeople know... it changes you torque value , so eg. you torque something with 13Nm with loctite..afte its dried is way higher like 17 or 20Nm... BMW advise sometimes not to use loctite on every bolt that it was used in the factory.

[@ManBikeSwag]

I can't get mine off it's so tight!

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Really? Different problem then 😂 I managed 6th gear and someone standing on the rear brake.

[@zeleznid]

Anybody happen to know the part number for this nut and where to get one? Trying to order one online and having a lot of trouble finding one.

[@FARANDFURTHER]

The nut has a part number 90179-22006, good luck.

[@zeleznid]

@@FARANDFURTHER with the part number you gave me I was able to find on line and order. Hopefully I get it quickly. The dealer is about 2 weeks out. Thank you!

[@zeleznid]

@@FARANDFURTHER the part number is not on any of the schematics for oem parts. The nut and washer are there but no part number. 😬

[@firstMexican]

Nerozumim ani slovo, ale pochopil jsem správně dle obrázků, že Yamaha matku utahuje málo a hlavně, že ji špatně nebo nijak nezajišťuje?

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Čau, jo jo byla skoro úplně povolená, šla odšroubovat na neutrál a nebyla zajištěná jak má být. Buďto se na to někdo vykašlal a nezajistil to nebo málo a sama se povolila. Ono to není nic katastrofálního, protože přeci jen ta ozubka tam byla pěkně přirostlá trochou rzi, ale tak pro info...

[@firstMexican]

@@FARANDFURTHER Koukal jsem u sebe a mam to zajištěný, utahovací moment jsem nekontroloval, najeto jen 5kkm. Když chceš sundat kryt, tak musí dolů i tyčka řazení nebo to vyleze?

[@FARANDFURTHER]

Pokud je to zajištěný jak má, tak se to nehne. Dá se to sundat bez odmontování tyčky.
