Hi can someone point me to instructions on how to tighten the rear wheel bearings on my 2016 Demo8 carbon rear axle bearings please! I can't find anything. Or tell me how to do it......in baby language! Thanks

It's probably the locking nuts on the hubs, on the hubs at each end there are two slim nuts next to each other, you will need two cone spanners ( flat/thin spanners ), one of them to tighten the inner nut to load the bearings ( only slightly pinched up, not cranked up ) , then tighten the 2nd outer one up to the 1st nut to lock it into place.

Sorry I didn't see this when you posted it over three years ago! Thank you

So, how is the bike after 3 years? Were you able to resolve the issue?
