Watch turbo bolt

[actionjack]

The Nord Lock spec should be a FAQ sticky.

But basically this bulletin says the bolts are loose because of a bad assembly process?

Yamaha will come out with it and I am guessing this will happen next week.

Problem is...these guys are riding now so a temp fix with High Temp gasket maker on the threads works just fine.

Checked my 2 outside ones and all tight but how do you get at the back one? I have the exhaust out.

Shagman's 2 bolts were out in less than 20 miles on his sled.

The pic shown with the arrows pointing to the 2 bolts.....there is a window behind the left outer bolt. You will find the 3rd bolt thru that window and can get at it with a socket and universal joint...but it's not fun.

Very weird. I have 50 and cannot tighten mine. Very solid. Been checking them, and wondering when they will loosen

I don't think they will loosen. There is no way mine were tight from the factory.

Sound like my primary clutch falling off into my hands after turning puller just snug

Guys with loose turbo bolts can you post which model you have? Mines a Rtx le and one of the last ones off the line and the 2 bolts I could get to were right at 50 ft lbs. Maybe they had a problem early on or mid run and caught it and all won't be affected. Also a side note whoever developed the heat shield should not be allowed to develop another part again. What a pain in the a..

Btx le. Was mine.
