Rear axle on a Hayabusa?

[TheDemonLord]

Long story short - was adjusting the chain, one of the lock nuts on the adjuster rounded off - so I had to pull the rear axle, replace the rounded nut put all back together again.


However - when the rear axle nut is torqued up to its correct setting (72.5 Ft lb/100 NM) the bike does not move, If I loosen the rear axle nut off a little, the bike moves as it should.

When I put it back together again, there was sufficient (or so I thought) Axle grease on the bearing, Axle, Brake cradle and swingarm - but I suspect this is where I have seized (The Pun!)

Any other ideas would be appreciated - the engineer in me says that if the manual says 72.5 ft lb, then it should freely rotate when torqued to 72.5 ft lb and if it doesn't, then I have done something wrong.

My thoughts exactually man-

[Madness]

Have you asked Bogan yet?

No, Myself and Bogan just have Intelligence.

Maybe you're torque wrench needs calibration?

I checked last night - will have a double check today, but I don't think so

[nodrog:Me]

if you have all the spacers, check they are around the right way on the axle. the wide part faces the swingarm.

You could also check the spacer inside the wheel is fiited, as well as the cush drive spacer.

Hmmmm - I didn't check inside the wheel, I did have issues with what I thought was a bearing that sits between the Wheel and the Swingarm/brake cradle - it kept popping out, so I wonder if inside the wheel the same has happened.

Oh well, I guess I am re-pulling the bike apart this weekend.


All for the sake of one pissing, cunting, fucktarded, made-in-can't-make-nuts-for-shitistan, nut that wanted to get rounded.


(on a side note - my 10 year old set of SuperCheep Auto spanners probably didn't help matters)

... what I thought was a bearing ..

Now you are scaring me.

May I suggest having somebody who knows what things are, having a look at it?

I may have to resort to that

I'd go to a parts catalogue and have a gander at the order and direction of all the parts in the exploded view.

But how will you know if the bearing is supposed to keep popping out?
