Out today and after a few laps on my 2023 Whyte E-160 RS MX , my crank comes off and could i find the bolt - nope.

Nant yr Arian good today , weather great. = Bike not so , Blame the bike not the idiot riding it :)

Its come loose before , re-torqued , but seems to come loose easily.

First time I used the walk mode - it kinda of works and made pushing the big old beast a bit easier back up.

Question is, is it a a standard M15 crank bolt or self extracting type, has std Whtye cranks - I can't remember ( Currently ) subject to post man coming hopefully today.

Cheers

Paul

As before said here, have tell tales on our crank bolts (wife's nail polish/varnish). This is her Rail.
