Rear Axle Nut
Posted: |April 5th, 2020|, 7:11 am
The rear axle nut on my 1K was a bit rounded when I bought it, and now my 28mm socket is starting to slip. Are these available anywhere, or is it something I need to get made?

Just take the axle in to a nut and bolt shop and see if they have a nut that fits, or try Parramatta MV Agusta, they have them listed on their website, but it doesn't necessarily mean they will have one. I have got parts for my Navigator from them. http://shop.mvap.com.au/part/mv-agusta/800095003#top

Hi mate,
if you can't find a genuine nut, maybe an RSV1000 nut might fit.
When an Aprilia rear end swap is done, the bearings in the Cagiva wheel/hub are still Cagiva which means the axles are the same diameter.
If the thread pitch is the same you might have a chance.
It's worth a try.
Or, measure the pitch and diameter, then do some research as there would have to be another bike out there with same size nut. It would be a standard metric size.
Good luck

Cool, I will take the axle into Specialty Fasteners one day and see what they have, they have not let me down yet.
