Rear sprocket bolts.

My 03 Touring SM says for the rear wheel sprocket bolts 55-65 ft/lbs-- 75-88Nm.I don't know if the sprokets would be torqued on any tighter for different models. I wouldn't use red locktite on aluminum either.
 
Absolutely replace them. Lots of occurances of them shearing off. I can provide you with references, if you would like.

Can you please contact me with your referances? I was riding on Saterday and ALL the bolts holding my sprocket on sheared off, (EDIT) near causing my to go down as the back wheel locked up and just about shooting a hole in the head of my friend who was riding behind me.

HD will do NOTHING! And when I called corropoate and asked to speak with a manager I was told NO.

This bike has 3900 miles on it!

Thanks!

There actually is a service bulletin the factory came out with last year and includes all beltdrive models. Yes replace the bolts, red loctite, and new torque spec. I believe it is 75-80 ft. lbs.

If you have a copy of that I would love to have it please!
