Lube the splines...

I don't think it comes with the nut since its not listed as coming with the nut and when you look up the diagram for the stud, it never shows the nut in the same diagram.

Also the instructions for reassembly tells you to install new nuts onto the studs after placing the bevel box on the studs.

This is the part # for the nut T3350334

I would feel better double locking regular nuts on studs that were locktited and installed in housing with correct torque, then removing regular nuts and replacing with nylock nuts.
 
Haven't taken the bike for a proper test yet, maybe tomorrow, but there's a correction from yesterdays 'advice' re stud and cap.

Well, consider me schooled! I backed that explanation because I was relying on an AI breakdown of the Triumph part numbers, and the **** thing completely hallucinated a fake mechanical description. It twisted the common issue of the factory nuts backing the studs out into a bizarre 'pre-fused assembly' theory. You guys were 100% right—it's just a bare stud. Lesson learned on trusting the robot for parts logic!

Nyloc nuts sound the part! Maybe I'll give them a try . . .
 
Yea the AI generated answer to most questions is wrong in some way. I've had it tell me the spindle nuts on my f250 should be torqued to 250 ft/lbs when its more like 23 ft/lbs lol.

The AI should show all of its references at the bottom so you can see where it is getting its information. you will see a lot of times its pulling information from a general topic rather than the specific topic.

You'll find that for every part that has any kind of Loctite on it that Triumph says to replace the part. The three bolts holding the Triumph badge in the middle of the rear wheel rim being a telling example- not necessary.
 
I don't mind a little extra service, but is there any reason we're doing this every 8000 miles? Have some bikes driveshafts worn out or showed signs of wear if not frequently lubed? I've owned several shaft drive bikes and never had this as an issue. Why wouldn't Triumph recommend it? I did some searching and couldn't find anyone saying there's a issue with this bike. Other big bikes are like ours don't recommend it at all, and if they do, it's more like every 16k miles.

Just wondering if I'm missing something.
