Wheel spindle locking
 

Just been over the father in laws and he is prepping his race bikes, He recons that for 2006 wheel spindle nuts have to be lockwired/R clipped. Any one else hear this or is this just a classic club rule???

First I heard of it, but then I haven't got my ACU handbook yet (not that I would have read it if I did).

Kev will be along to clarify. He's the rules oracle :lol:

So far, it seems to be a new CRMC reg, along with a lot of other fiddly work.
All these types of things are good safety ideas for all of us, but not all good ideas are compulsory :lol:

Interestingly, the CRMC and VMCC still dont ask for oil catch trays though :saint:

I've never seen a catch tray collect 4 litres of oil when the bike is travelling at 120mph... normally the rear tyre (and anything following) does a better job!

Ask Ali, it even happens at slower speeds - and you can 'burn' some off too!:o

I thought the catch trays just collected all the spare parts that fell out of the engine - again, just ask Ali for details... :frog:
