TORKER Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Hi there guys. I've had this new axle for a long time, moving it around from time to time. Now that I need it, it turns out the threads are diffenrent that the bent axle I have. Everything fits fine, except there are fine threads for the locking nuts instead. If stock is 1.50 these are 1.25. I dont know the brand, it came with some other parts some time ago. Are there different types of threads on banshees? Please, don't flame me if the answer is known to most of you. I did NOT find the answer by searching the forums, which is very rare. And what I've found online is that banshee axle locking nuts have the same part #. So, I turn to you guys. Maybe someone with the experience can steer me in the right direction? Whare can I find a gine thread axle locking nuts? Please help. Thanks in advance. TORKER. Edited August 21, 2012 by TORKER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoOK Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Post pics of the axle, someone will identify it and tell you which locking nut to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I thought most of the aftermarket axles used the stock compatible nut with the exception of the Durablue Eliminator axles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TORKER Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Here are some pics. I know it's dirty, been sitting for a while, but it's brand new. Hopefully someone will be able to tell me what axle nuts I need. I'll apreciate if you guys DO NOT guess. Given the knowledge found on this forum, I'm sure somebody will come forward. Please, help. Thanks, TORKER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) If you go to the bottom of this thread you will see that 1 guy says a Raptor axle has a different thread pitch. http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20231 Also, on your pics, the threads and splines look rolled. I doubt any of the aftermarket companies have the equipment to roll threads and splines. They're probably all cut with a lathe and a milling machine, so it's probable that yours is an OEM axle out of something.

TORKER Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 The Raptor nut is bigger, tested one already. Nuts are the same diameter as the banshee (I have the stock ones), just different pitch. Maybe its out of something else, BUT WHAT? What brand would be so close to the Yamaha axles? Chinese? TORKER.
