Posted July 14, 201113 yr Hello again , Im still picking at the bike here , and just finished painting the down tubes. I'd like to know the torque specs for the front wheel? There is one 7/8 Nut on one side where the pin goes through , and two 9/16 nuts on the opposite side. Should i use locktight? '79 xs400 right on , thanks.

This acts like a spring keeping the axle and nut in place. I use aero nuts on mine but not really necessary drewps
