Check Your Sprocket Nuts / Bolt

Just spotted this posted up by Griff on the Club Aprilia site - Falcos, Tuonos, Milles ..... worth a precautionary check .... in fact, worth a check everyone .....
.... and while you are in the area, check the bolt that holds the primary sprocket (the front one). We've found a couple of these have come undone and made a bit of a mess ........Griff (Aprilia Performance) on Club Aprilia Site wrote:hello all!!
recently ive noticed a wierd trend of loose sprocket nuts, if you get a few minutes please just grab hold of a 17mm spanner and check there tight on your bikes.......
if you find a loose one then its wheel out im afraid , remove the sprocket carrier from the wheel and torque the nuts to 50nm..
the damage that is inflicted on the swingarm if the nuts come loose is pretty cack!!
also a couple of times of late as well the screws that hold the throttle plates into the throttle bodies , whip the airbox lid off and have a nose inside the bodies you'll see two screws per plate, just give em a pinch!!
please im not trying to scare people but a little lookey see might help someone!!
Cheers
