Ok, so I'm cruising down a side road doing about 45, when I hear the most God awful sound, and realize it's coming from MY bike!! Twist the throttle and it just gets louder, but I no longer have any drive. Shifting doesn't matter, it's all neutral. Nothing to do but call for a pickup truck and worry. Next day I pull the cover in front of the counter sprocket, and the holding nut is laying on the bottom and the sprocket is completely off the spline! Spline and sprocket seem mostly undamaged and only took a few seconds to pop it back on. I don't have a socket big enough for that nut (as I'm sure the previous owner didn't as well..and that's why it came loose). Can anyone tell me what size that nut is and the proper torque so I can go get a socket and tighten it properly? Bike's a 2001. TIA
