rear sprocket
 

my bike suddenly stopped I hit gas the rpms went up but nothing I tried pushing the bike and it bound up I thought the transmission went out but looked down to find a bolt here all the bolts broke off the sprocket ,I left my bike and went home two bolt were at my house 2 mile away im not sure why this would happen and what to do about it

Did they just back out or shear off

They all sheard off ..I felt no sign of problems

The rear bolts are typically studs that are simply placed in bushings in the rear hub. It provides a cush drive effect, to take up the shock load.

The answer is to buy Honda studs, which are higher quality. Like these (item 13): http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmot...m2988#sch20077

It also wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the bushings.

so I don't have to worry if I cant back those broken bolts out I can replace the bushing ... and how is that done

Those studs bolt to the sprocket and they just slide into the rubber bushings. There is a big circlip that holds the sprocket to the hub. Most difficult thing is the big circlip.

I have not heard of anyone shearing off the honda studs.

Sorry I should have said this is a 09 qlink xp

That changes things. Perhaps someone with Q knowledge will chime in.

didn't take wheel off yet but it looks like the bolts screw right into the wheel I hope the threads are not messed up a new wheel is $350 or more

the mechanic I use from time to time has access to a machine shop and he going to drill them out ,, put new bolts in for less than $100 that's 1/4 of a new rim tire change that I thought for sure was going to happen
