[Foxy]

What are you after???

[gixxer-fixxer]

g'day foxy only had it 2 days and am fixing bits as i go so Im just putting my search out a bit early.cheers PS have pics now

[Foxy]

No worries, I have an 89 GSXR1100 that I will be parting out some parts off, so if you need anything that I don't, let me know, I may be able to help.

[gixxer-fixxer]

hi again something i do need urgently is a rear axle which has a split pin. My axle has no hole for a pin

[Foxy]

Nor does mine, I don't think any of them came with a split pin.

[gixxer-fixxer]

surely not

[Foxy]

Pretty sure

[gixxer-fixxer]

thanks dude but it doesn't even show the axle

[Foxy]

Sorry, wrong diagram uploaded, it shows one, but I've had the rear wheel off that many times, I never used one. I'll have a closer look when I get a chance

[gixxer-fixxer]

does your axel have a split pin hole?

[Rocket]

Hi Gixxer, welcome aboard.
My '92 doesn't have a pin, just uses a lock nut.
From memory my K model didn't have one either, but memory can be a funny thing.

[gixxer-fixxer]

g'day rocket it's a bit of a worry.Thmicrofishe pic from foxy shows one.Wonder if anyone has come to grief because of this.Read a post earlier someones rear brake housing jumped into the wheel,locked up but lucky not turning or tailgater anyway cheers

[gibbo]

mine does't have a hole either

[Deano]

it shows one but it shows it used with a castle nut. i think they all have lock nuts.

all my gixxers both oil and early watercooled don't have spilt pins. just make sure you have a lock nut.

I have a 1990 uk 1100L that I have had since 1993 and that uses a locknut standard fitment from factory and no split pin. My mates 1989 K model 1100 uses locknut as fitted from the factory perfectly safe as long as you use the locknut or nylock nuts as some people call them.

I am a trained motorcycle mechanic and have been on most major manufacturers product courses and a vast majority of bike now use this method. Provided the nut is of the self locking type you will have no problems.
Problems will only happen if a non locking nut is used or if the nut is left loose or a damaged nut is used.

[Docktor]

I aint got one on either of my L models.

[gixxer-fixxer]

the nut is just an ordinary one not nylon locking type.I presume it is from the factory

[alfiestorm]

Just to clarify here is a photo of what a factory set up looks like note the lip on the end of the nut.

mine uses a woodriff key and a bobby pin.Only nut you'll find is the bloke riding it.
