Rear sprocket bolts loose

[Bubingaboy]

Hi to all. New to this site and owned my v rap for a few months . Quick question , after returning home last night after a short ride I noticed all my bolts are loose on my rear sprocket . I tried doing them up (no joy) and undoing them to check the bolts but couldn't remove them either. I take it there's nuts on the end of these as they won't come out but looking to see how is access them (it was dark) I couldn't see/feel anything . Obviously this puts my bike off the road but any advice you guys could give would be much apreciated . Thanks

you'll need to remove the sprocket and carrier, cinch the nuts up from the back of the sprocket carrier - torque to 50Nm with loc-tite 243

oh and welcome in

+1 and welcome . I wish these bikes had rear jack stand locators or bobbins like suzuki's . Most importantly at least cagiva got the motor right !
Those sprocket nuts shouldnt come loose as they are self locking.

Thanks for putting up the pic and the welcome .
I've read that they shouldn't be and common sense is telling me I Proberbly have an underlying problem which could have caused then to loosen. I've read that chain alignment is somthing I should check and perhaps some other stuff too??Any help very much apreciated , I'm going to get the wheel off and have a look over the weekend .

Your underlying problem will probably be the person who changed the sprocket last time. Clean and re tighten them then keep a check on them.

+1 Maybe someone tried to loosen the bolts which initially start undoing and then just spin round. Oops too late, cant tight en them back up now. I almost made that mistake when i first got the rap doh

Ok cool. Hopefully that's the case and I'll have it sorted by tomorrow afternoon. Thanks again for the advice that you've all given me

Just thought I'd post a couple of pics of my bike to see what you guys think
