if you spindle was that loose you would crash as the wheel would pull to one side due to the chain being on one side and the chain adjusters would snap

I remember on my old Suzuki GS 125 on the way to Peterborough bike show, I lost my rear axle nut and stopped and pulled up i piece of wire from a hedge and wrapped it around the thread and carried on. Seems nuts thinking about it now and how could I of carried on - there and back

done the same on my ap50 but their is a huge difference in power i doubt you would get away with it on a 600







[/quote]Ahh you know what - it has just come back to me. Well it was over 30 years ago.
    It wasn't the rear axle at all it was the swing arm bolt/shaft nut that I lost. Which makes more sense as the pulling forces are different.

difference with the wee suzuki is the back sprocket carrier bolts on to the swing arm separate from the spindle so that you caan remove the rear wheel without touching the chain or adjuster great idea also stopped forces of the chain moving the wheel
