K7 rear axle nut - SV650.org

Hi all, just adjusted the chain on my K7 and this may sound like a dumb question but is the nut single use it do I just torque it up to 65nm (edit, just read some threads stating an error in the Haynes manual and it should be 100nm)? Despite owning the bike for a while I've not had to adjust the chain until now.

its reuseable and has to be torqued to the Suzuki manual setting of 100Nm

Thanks Glang. Will have to stop by work and borrow the torque wrench. Should invest in one for myself.

I only tighten it until there is no slop on the axle. Meaning the wheel stops wiggling. The safety pin prevents the nut from moving. 100nm was too tight. **** was binding like crazy.

UK spec Pointies don't have a split pin. Suzuki only seems to add them on the US bikes. Your torque is only 65nm.
