I need a spanner Laughing

I was riding to work and I started hearing a clunk noise coming from the rear wheel. Got off and had a look. ALL my sprocket nuts where undone and some where grating on the swingarm Shocked

.

I don't have a correct size spanner for it, it is bigger than a 13 and smaller than a 17. Laughing

I reckon 15. If anyone is in the area and wouldn't mind me borrowing one let me know. I don't fancy riding 18 miles on finger tight sprockets. Let me know, my phone number is xxxxxxxxxx. I will be monitoring this thread throughout the night mind.

Thanks
Chris

I can't work out how they are undone, I'm wondering if it was sabuertage. The bike has been 500 miles or so with the sprocket on I can;t see it free itself now. It may seem tarty but I have been looking at it loads as it is so sexy now Laughing

I would have noticed. The other thing I noticed is part of my hugger is missing It's just a sticker that covers some bolts but It should have come off. I noticed that today.

Other than that I lubed my chain the other day and this is the first time it's been ridden in the rain, maybe the combo loosen them up Eh?

Chris I've just got in and am about to go to bed knackered.

I will be up at about 8am if you want to drop around and harass me after work.

I'm betting your bike uses one use lock nuts on the rear sprocket or you didn't do them up tight enough you wimp.

Thanks, I've nabbed some grips off of mate, they are pretty tight now.

I'm going ride to to the A13 then check them see how they are then go the rest of the way and sort them at home. I've just ordered some new nuts as the current ones are shagged because of the grips/swingarm. I can't see any swingarm damage as it's dark but I'm sure it is there.
