Don't forget to bend the locking washer so that the nut doesn't turn. About $1 for the washer.

Item 39 on the parts micro fische.

39-1 WASHER (25X40X1.4) 1
09167-25019 (replaces 09167-25014) or
39-2 WASHER (25X40X1.4) 1
09167-25019

I replaced the lock washer also, I will try to do a better job of wrapping it around the nut when I try the JB Weld filler this week. I think I need to let it cure longer.

Thats Real Bad Luck, Did you Use Devcon A Plastic Steel which is the Original and Best or a Copy. Also Did you leave it at least 16-24 hours after Tightening to Set off
Correctly.

My Repair is still holdig up OK after 4000 Miles (I Checked on the weekend and it is OK)

Hey Carl, on your repair, did you apply the putty to both the shaft and inside the pulley? How did you try to remold the splines? Are you concerned about being able to remove the pulley at some point?
I shouldn't have to remove mine for a while because I replaced the oil seal and o-ring, unless my drive belt gets ruptured. Only have about 3500 miles on this belt.

JB Weld, 15-24 hour cure before use.

http://jbweld.net/products/instruct_jbweld.html

May want to wait 24 or more. I've used it before and it seems to get super hard in a day or two. I haven't tried it on such a stressful application, but.... thier website sort of says you can.

Maybe one of Engineer types could look at the spec's???

I Carried out my Repair as Follows.

1. Shaft & New drive Pulley Cleaned with Thinners to
Remove any grease or oil
2. Mixed Devcon A Plastic Steel (This is the original plastic
steel and the only one I have found that works as
advertised)
3. Interior of Drive Pulley Coated with Plastic steel (Splines
Filled)
4. Pulley Fitted and Immediately Tightened up with Air
Hammer and the Lock Washer Bent over
5. Waited 24 Hours before Moving anything.

Since the Above I have put 4000 Miles on the Bike and the pulley is still OK

Hope this helps

Regards
Carl

Reply #19 - 08/16/07 at 09:41:06 Thanks Carl, that's pretty much what I'm doing less the air hammer, only have torque wrench. The JB Weld indicates a 3900 + PSI hardness factor and resists temps up to 600 degrees. These specs are the best I can find for similar products locally. I got my fingers crossed. I'll let you know how I make out after this weekend.

Reply #20 - 08/17/07 at 02:38:42 I have been using epoxies for over 30 years. Duro sux mightily & Devcon is the best I've seen. As good a reputation as JB weld has, I would go with Devcon in a heartbeat.

Eureka! (you don't smell so good yourself) Cheesy

The wife and I put almost 300 miles on the bike this weekend and the JB weld repair seems to be working! I'm frickin ecstatic! (avert your eyes while I dance the Funky Chicken). I thought for sure the bike was done for. There was no way I was ging to get the driveshaft repaced any time soon. Thank you all for your help and comiseration. I hope this is the end of any major problems for a while and just get to enjoy the rest of the season. Grin

Reply #22 - 08/20/07 at 02:54:18 I sure hope that "repair" holds up for you, but I wouldn't ride any roads way off in the middle of nowhere without a cell phone in my pocket on a bike with a fix like that done to it! The chances of it letting go increase exponentially the further you are from home and help.
