Hey guys over the weekend i was ridng and the nut on the front sprocket came loose and started shooting out oil. I tightened it by hand using a pipe so i can get good leverage. But i was wondering if i should use a torque gun to fully tighten it, but not sure because i dont want the gun to crack the sprocke. What do u guys suggest?

You should have a lock washer that bend over the nut so it doesnt losen. I personally never seen oil come out of that area you might have a seal thats effed up. Also the Nut has a gap on one side and must be tightend towards the sproket. See number 3 in the ilistration of the manual in the above picture. Always use a torque wrench cause its easy to overtightne and strip the threads on these machines.
