01 cr125 rear axle nut torque

[Stretch351w]

Can anybody tell me what the torque spec is for the rear axle nut? I'm cheap and don't have the cash to buy the book, and I just installed a new Warp 9 wheel. Any help would be appreciated.

I just put a big wrench on it and call it good. I believe most bikes are around 60 ftlbs.

That's pretty much what I do.. I also drilled a hole in mine for safety wire..

Thanks for the reply. I'll put the torque wrench on it and see how I like it.

This is a good idea. My Yamaha is drilled, my Honda is not yet. I recently lost my axle nut, I believe my whip mount broke which allowed the axle nut to vibrate off. This cost me $30 because I had to buy new chain adjusters and ended my riding day. A piece of safety wire would have prevented the problem.

Yeah, safety wire can save your butt...

should be around 60 ft lbs yes......i would personally do like 76 said and put a big wrench or breaker bar on it and tighten it down as hard as i could and call it a day...
