2.4% is a big tolerance on a fastener which is holding your wheel to your bike.
Total weight saving is about 12g per pair compared with steel, why bother? Sprocket nuts on a motorbike have a very different purpose from track nuts, since in the one case they are merely a lateral retainer on a system where the load is taken in shear by the studs, while in the other they must provide sufficient preload on the dropout to create the friction which resists the whole of the chain tension.
Even if you get the Ti nuts, you'll still have to add washers to replace the captive washers which are part of the track nuts, and you'll probably want to find some thick serrated steel ones at that.
ok, I'm gonna pass on it then. ty for patience.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
