Mine needed a few degrees of rotation to snug up to torque. Thanks for the warning.

Two ends of the same thing. The diagram is from the left and shows the bolt, and the picture is from the right and shows its nut.

I wouldn't doubt it.

This is the exploded view of the parts: Item #3 is the spindle nut that fits Item #2

Hi all, just a quick heads up. I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else, but while cleaning my bike today I noticed the nut to the end of the swing arm pivot bolt was loose, not even finger tight!
Looking at the torque settings it should be @ 100Nm, which I have now sorted.
My bike is a 2020 GT which I have owned from new and covered 35,500 miles, dealer served every year.
Maybe just one of those things but I’ll be keeping an eye on it in the future.

Yes, 2020 R3GT, owned from new also. 31,000+miles, dealer serviced every year. nut on its last few threads when I noticed. Re-torqued 100nm.
