Does anyone know what size the rear axle nut is on my 2006 gsxr 1000?

Does anyone know what size the rear axle nut is on my 2006 gsxr 1000?

If it's the same as the 07 1000 then it's a 32mm.

I think you'le find it is 36mm

There's no way it's a 32. My k7 750 is 36 or 37(Can't remember which sitting at work). I'm 100% sure I have a 50% chance.

36mm or 1 7/16" should work too.

Definitely a 36mm! Just bought a socket for mine during the removal and replacement of my swing arm.. cost 22$ for a socket!

Really?
11 yr old post, I'm assuming it is something you needed to know though?

For mine, I use a Big honking adjustable wrench. Didn't buy that big a socket.

+1 on 11 year old post. However:
I paid $4-$5 for mine (36 mm) years ago when Sears was clearing out their sockets for ones with the size laser etched on them. I think that the original type has been brought back.

You're supposed to torque that nut, and to a fairly hefty value. You must have a very special adjustable if it reads torques.

The same socket fits the steering stem head nut. It's aluminum and also gets torqued so you don't want an adjustable there.
