Both of them!!! So I am at my buddies house, helping him with his exhaust, and while showing a friend who recently bought and XB, and just yesterday a KTM 950 (he's not married) I noticed the two nuts holding my tensioner pulley bracket were missing. A month ago and many miles ago, I put on a drummer, and removed the pulley assembly. I can not remember exactly if I put the nuts on and just left them loose, or if I did torque them down. I did not use thread locker ( I know, I know) I'm wondering if they just vibrated off, and when. The bracket has moved over, I can fit my finer b/w the bracket and where it should be, and it has started to push on the belt gear cover.


Sorry about all that, but what I need to know the thread pattern and size of those bolts. I left it at my friends, and I am going back there and I need to have the correct nuts so I can ride it home. Please post up what they are so I can stop at Lowes on the way and ride home. Thanks gang!

BTW, I love the 950. Most fun bike I have ever rode.

A dab of blue loctite when you install the new ones will prevent that from happening again. We all forget those little steps when installing fun new parts: )

Just ride the bike into the store and down the hardware aisle and find the ones that fit.

I'm pretty sure the doors are wide enough to get in.
