[QUOTE="Bunya, post: 1192806, member: 77196"] Well you do have a bit of a nightmare on your hands. The previous owner should be kicked in the rear for doing that - I'll never understand the deeds of morons. It certainly would explain the problems you are having. If Steahly is telling you the crankshaft threads on your bike are 1.25, I'd go by that. After all, it is [i]their[/i] business to know. Just to be safe, the route I'd take would be to order the correct nut from Honda - you're going to need it anyways. Once I had the correct nut in my hand, I'd determine it's thread pitch and hopefully verify M12x1.25. I would then obtain the correct die from J&L to clean up the threads on the crank. You'll have to be extremely careful and be sure you're starting the die on the original thread. Proceed very slowly at first, start just a touch then back it off and check with a magnifiying glass to see where it's starting to cut. If it appears to be in the original thread then turn it little further. Then back off again and check. I would repeat that procedure until I was able verify it was correctly tracking the original thread. With some luck the incorrect nut was a lot softer than the crank and absorbed most of the deformation. Marc - [/QUOTE]
