    Good idea. Certainly needs some extra mojo. Unfortunately the R1 is prolly in parts all over wrecker yards in NZ.

    Anyone got a split pin for me rear axle nut?
    Would copper wire do the trick??

    you need a split pin. the pin part goes thru the hole in the threaded bar (axle) then has one half loop back up to stop it coming out, hte other end is the head and fits into a grove/slot cut in the nut, this stops the nut from turning back on the axle.

    Whats the point in compromising when i have what he needs anyway...

    No. Use a proper split pin. They're there for a purpose. Copper wire is soft, might stretch, break, or just allow the nut to loosen anyway. Not knocking you, just answering.
