So I was adjusting my chain. Got
It all aligned and went to tighten the adjuster bolts and snap! The adjuster screw snapped off! WTF?! Is it bad to ride without this?
Ordered one from honda for $8 bout a week out. Anyone have this issue? Can u ride it? Axel bolts tight and aligned the lines on both sides.

Wow that sucks how did you do that.
how tight did you wrench on it?

If you can wait I think it would be better.
But in theory of the purpose it serves it seems you could actually ride w/o it.
technically It's not holding anything in place as far as the wheel moving.

someone correct me if I'm wrong

That's the funny thing. I tightened it just to snug and snap! I was real easy on the damn thing. Yeah, just curious if it's fine to ride?

Was you trying to adjust while the axle was still tight?

Nope. Went to just tighten the adjuster bolts after i aligned it all up. :/

Damn man probably just defective bolt i wouldn't sweat it...just order a new one hell it's gotta be pretty cheap...ride it till it comes in...the torque spec on the axle is 44 ft lbs. I would just bump it to like 50 to be sure it doesn't move...some people may not agree but thats what i would do. I have had a few drinks tonight so my advice may be questionable... Lol

if you ride it without both blocks in I would make sure the one good block is on the chain side.

Cool. Yeah. The one good one is on the chain side. I took it for a spin and didn't notice much.
I did order two from Honda for $8 so. I'll just keep an eye on it and take it easy make sure nothing moves. It's pretty stable. I did torque the axel but just little more just to be sure.
