Loctite for sprockets

[flyingcr250]

True, but my feeler gauge has quite a lot of inbuilt variance.

Um no, what now???

Problems with bearing 0625204280, which was installed in 350 SX-F engines up to serial number 1-772*05994*, can lead to bearing failure or even to extensive engine damage. For this reason, KTM decided to promote exchanging of the bearing in the markets with another bearing that meets higher bearing material quality standards. The new bearing 0625160040, together with the required washers, gaskets and restrictor, is contained in the main shaft bearing conversion kit 772 33 099 100.

Yeah my bike is in the recall as well, the dealer was waiting for the kits to arrive before bringing the bikes in. Been told it's not a full recall, so should be ok to ride while I'm waiting, but will probably leave it in the garage anyway. The linkages and swingarm needs another strip-down and re-grease anyway, will use the time not riding to give it a good onceover.
