    2008 xb12s rear sprocket bolts

    Anyone happen to know the official part number for the bolts that hold on the rear sprocket on the rear wheel? I am about to remove the rear sprocket and assume these bolts shouldn't be reused. Thanks fellas.

    All though the price seems a bit steep for bolts I located the part number in case anyone else needed it. Seems most places are charging 3 bucks a piece.

    The manual says not to re-use them but they are not stretched-to-torque so (IMHO) I feel confident to clean, and blue loctite them back at factory torque. No problems doing that in my whole Buell history.

    I'll keep the old ones for spares. I received the new bolts for the rear sprocket and they seem to have a gray material on the bolt already. Assume this is some sort of loctite? Do I need to apply anything else to them before install because the manual says to just install and torque. Thanks.

    I recently had to do bearing maintenance and removed the sprocket. Per Dr. Internet and Dr. Cooter, I reused my bolts and re-loctited them. properly torque wrenched as well. A few hundred miles so far, no problem. Like Coots McGoots said, they are not torque to yield. I felt pretty confident reusing them.
