Safety wire question

I'm trying to call them and they keep saying they'll call me back. I don't want to drive 3 hours or so and my friend can't ride.

I agree. I did Tech for the VRRA for many years and its a quick and easy job to inspect a clean tidy bike. It also gives you a lot more confidence that the owner has taken the time to put it together properly.
On the other hand there is nothing like digging through layers of grime and grease that's been untouched for a long time to give you and uneasy feeling
It actually says "should". That's the confusion I'm having.

Like I said. Lockwire is NOT required at any trackday in ontario.
Track days would be empty if it were required. Especially when a lot of racers will be in Grand Bend this weekend.
Johnny, I think you're right about how a bike looks. Mine looked like a race bike and did have some safety wire on it, but not all. The bike I have now has 98% safety wired, but GSXR Girl's doesn't. Just the oil filter. Her bike is in good condition and looks (it is) well maintained so I'm not worried. Stickers still on the tires too

It is NOT required unless they changed it this year. I've brought a buddy with a street bike and the regular "tape up your ****" rules applied.
I think someone needs to safety wire my nuts
Edit: I think just the blue ones, the regular colour ones should be fine.

Xtina should safety wire your blue nuts.

my sprocket had the thread back out just like yours last time I saw you at tmp.
even though I go over my bike all the time, somethings like that just happen sometimes.
Were you running OEM nuts?
This discussion makes me want to check my nuts.
Freaky. I thought just my driven aluminum nuts with no locking mechanism were the problem.
Tony at Bluestreak came through with a set of really freaky Probolt Titanium nuts with locking whatever in them. Should I still use loctite when I install them? Blue or red?
I got a call back from Driven Racing today (in reply to the email I sent them a few days ago) and they said: "The OEM washers should not have been used when the nuts were installed as the driven nuts need full thread contact with the stud and with OEM washers installed the studs threads don't reach all the way to the top of the nut." I asked them to e-mail me that info, at which point they hung up on me.
That being said, do I use the OEM washers with these probolt nuts??
I think Tony said the ones he had in stock were burnt purple??
Ok, no to the washers, what about loctite?
Yikes. Thanks for the info. So the studs can back out too? F me.do I really need to answer that question
what I did was pull the wheel, took every stud out, loctite the studs back in and blue locktite the nuts.
