Hello,
I've been far from Vital thes elast past months.
I keep reading about sprocket bolts too loose or torqued
in basically each post, what's the story behind ?
Thank you guys,
PS : I recently got a factory ECU, I should win soon

The ECU situation, well, if you have one as you say, then you know all there is to know. As Big James said, "Can't win without it!"

You don't need the Factory ECU if you grind off the paint from your exhaust pipe.
Also, don't torque your sprocket bolts on arm day.
That is truly profound! You just blew my mind!
One thing he was sure about, was that it was "hot".
When I got it home and washed it, prior to torquing the sprocket bolts, I noticed the plates had faint fade marks. Definitely single digits. (Not sure, could be 1, but maybe 7, or 4)
This got me thinking. I checked the ECU. It's highly polished, and has "J", and "sx" engraved in tiny letters in one corner.
Could it be possible it's a Factory ECU?

"Did you know you can grind the paint off your stock exhaust pipe and get a factory look? Be careful though! Go too far and the metal will thin out - causing a wicked ratatattat sound when you hit the powerbands."
Fork air pressure is important. Too much and a blowed out seal is the result. Too little, and the harsh "CLANK" of forks bottoming will be your reward.
That said, there's nothing so important as sprocket bolt torqueing. Throw a massive whip on an 80 foot table, blip the throttle in mid-flight and hear the death-rattle of sprocket bolts flying everywhere. The next sound is your chain burying itself in your left case half. Then...THE LANDING.
You're locked up, bro! You hit, bounce, come to an immediate stop and are thrown over the bars. As you slowly get up, you look back at your rear hub and see that it has been blown to pieces. Your groggy eyes move forward up the swingarm and you see the left case shattered with a chain hanging out of it. Oil dripping everywhere. Countershaft sprocket looking like a wheel off a clown car. Disaster bro.
All because proper torque wrench application was not administered to the critical sprocket bolts.
Now, factory ECUs, that's just a whole nother subject that is beyond the scope of this forum post, I'd recommend consulting an expert in the field in person and conducting a thorough review of all relevant reading materials pertaining to the subject.
Hope this helps bro, now I'm off to study while still getting ripped and tan, the bro life just never stops bro.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The real story is the sprocket ECU and the factory bolts. Anything else is just a distraction
This is no joke, Peely is saving lives
