So which way round should the rear spindle go?

(1/3) > >>

SteveD CB500K0:
Mine has the castle nut on the left (looking at the bike from behind) which my tyre fitter says is the wrong side. He says that they were fitted the other way so that right-handed mechanics could undo them more easily  ???

Bryanj:
Man talk from fundamental orifice parts book and fig 256 in manual shows nut on Sprcket side

dave400:
Sprocket side on the 400 also.

SteveD CB500K0:
I thought so.

I have a great deal of respect for the guy as what he doesn't know about tyres "ain't worth knowing" AND he has owned CB750s in the past.

He's wrong here though...

I guess it's the fact that most (all?) modern bikes are that way round (at least the single sided swingarm ones are)

Woops both my 750's have the nut on the right hand side (looking from behind ) & my GT has the nut on the left  ;), & my VTX being single sided is on the right  :), cheers Mick.
