Replace nut n bolts?

[Flamewinger]

Picture below shows "New" for a lot of components in the rear wheel. Do we really have to get new nuts & bolts along with the cotter pin, O-rings, seals and bearings?

Most manufacturers suggest new nuts/bolts for many suspension parts because they can vibrate loose.

My personal opinion is that if you use a quality locktight compound on reassembly then new parts aren't necessary.


Funny how things held together fine w locktight for years and years and years, yet now vehicle manufacturers ask you to buy new. opcorn:

The parts that they show "New" are components that are under high stress and are to be changed for safety. I will change the bearings and seals every other rear tire changes or every 30,000 miles(due to the type of riding I do) or if you put a lot of highway miles you can increase the mileage on bearings & seals. I get my nuts & bolts, cotter pins, and O-rings locally, due to they are lower in price. Make sure that you replace with the same grade of bolt & nuts, ...... That's IMHO.

THEY WOULD ALSO SUGGEST THIS

BRP also recommends if your Spyder even HICCUPS immediately stop ( safely - of course ) and transport your Spyder to the nearest DEALER so they can examine it.........Hopefully sometime during this riding season :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:......................IMHO if the company is not putting on parts that can be used at least TWICE something is very wrong ................................Mike :thumbup:

Little checking..!!

inspect the parts and replace if needed. If in doubt replace them. At 22,000 mile replacing my rear tire I saw no significant wear and replaced nothing. As a manufacturer they will recommend you replace everything with oem parts (safety, law suits, etc) if they could they would recommend you get a new roadster (great for sales)...:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: but I worked for dealers :lecturef_smilie:...now do my own work..:thumbup: once again, if in doubt replace..

...................:gaah: :agree:.....You it nailed OSM.......If you built your Spyder from the parts bin it would cost approx. $100,000....:yikes: :roflblack: :roflblack: :roflblack: ...IMHO....Mike

The reason I asked is on my Goldwing (GL1800), the front rotors use the same type of stretch bolt/nut. The consensus is to use them once again then replace. I just never removed the rotors. (many riders remove them when getting a new tire)

So I was just wondering if Spyder Riders do similar.
