Hello everyone. I've got an '04 S4R, and I noticed yesterday that one of the hex nuts on my rear wheel is loose. I'm trying to find a size and torque value for it, and I'm wondering if anyone here knows it offhand? It's this one here:
(http://www.motorcycledaily.com/030803swingarm.jpg)
My calipers tell me that the nut is either 41mm or 42mm, and the local Duc dealer is closed today and tomorrow.
I looked at the list on Dan's great post on torque values (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=373.0), and he's got Rear Axle Nuts listed at 70-76nm. But I'm not sure whether the rear axle nut is the 46mm nut on the right side of the swingarm (which is used to hold the rim in place) or if it's the left one...or maybe the torque values are the same? Also, my calipers are not the best so I'm unsure of the size socket to buy.
So how about it: anyone care to hazard a guess at size & torque?
Many thanks,
Joe
M41 is 156 N•m
M46 is 176 N•m
Thanks!
BTW - I just noticed that Speedymoto makes a socket that handles both sides:

Might even be worth the $79 ;D
I have the speedymoto socket and it's fantastic. Will last forever, and stands up well to high psi abuse

Thanks! I ordered one. Still cheaper than buying individual sockets.
