Setup:
- Ensure the rear axle and threads are clean and free of debris.
- Apply a small amount of appropriate thread locker (optional, consult your motorcycle's manual).
- Thread the Apico Axle Nut onto the rear axle by hand to ensure it catches the threads correctly.
- Use a suitable wrench or socket to tighten the nut to the manufacturer's specified torque. *Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for the correct torque value.* Over-tightening or under-tightening can cause damage or lead to component failure.
Care:
- Periodically inspect the nut for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
- Clean the nut and surrounding area with a mild degreaser and water. Dry thoroughly.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the silver finish.
