Rear Axle Nut

[Billie_imp]

Just replaced the tires on my 2014 CB, when I took the rear wheel off I noticed there was no C shaped clip on the end of the axle.
My Harleys all have had a clip to prevent the axle nut from ever backing off, now I know HD's vibrate more than this CB but am I missing something here?
So I put some blue locktite on the threads and tightened the nut down, anything else?

I don't ever recall removing a C clip off a Japanese bike in my travels. I have taken cotter pins out of Italian axle nuts.

The service manual does not call for thread locker on the axle nut. Torqued to spec it will not come loose.

Yeh I saw that about the locktite, but thought better safe than sorry, Thanks guys.

The rear axle has a stainless steel spring washer built into it that is always tensioning the nut against the thread. Look up Fuji Lock Nut. Unlike nylon-lined lock nuts, these do not fatigue and are reusable indefinitely. Nylocks are not reusable unless the plastic inside is heated and melted.
