Rear Wheel Spindle - 2002 RSV

TJCorsa · May 19, 2011

Hi guys, I'm kinda new to the whole RSV ownership. Just bought my first one, 2002 Standard Mille with 7500k on the clock. Its been sat in a guys garage for the last few years sorned (hence the low miles). I've done most of the little jobs that needed doing and I went to adjust the chain today but can't get the rear spindle nut undone

Any idea's, I think it may have been over torqued???

Get a spanner that fits and a really long lever a bit of scaffold pole is perfect put the spanner in the end and loosen away if its still stuck jump up and down on the pole but make sure the bike is well secured as it might want to move (speaking from experience fell on ma arse) that should do the jobby ....

If it was done up that tight you had to break it with a 3ft bar, you might want to take a look at the bearings just in case
