Locking washers rear sprocket 1000 RGS/SFC replacement item

[Beucars]

Hello everyone,

Are the two locking washers from the rear sprocket on a 1000 RGS/SFC a Laverda specific item?

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Jeroen

as far as I know they are Laverda specific and because of the wheel rotation positive locking of those bolts is vital, they are available and in stainless from the usual dealers, does anyone remember former ILOC chairman at Balkbrug in Holland with loose and snapped/bent bolts in this position (together with swing arm damage) because he used spring washers.

You would most likely get a positive lock with Loctite Threadlocker. But that doesn't tick rivet counting checklists.

However I believe that Ralph at Motalia sells stainless ones!

Thank you! I will order a pair. Enjoy your weekend

Hmm. I used spring washers for decades on my Laverda's and with no ill effect (crossing fingers). But I do change them for new ones, once taken off for tire change etc. And I use a drop of blue loctite.
Kind regards,
Jacques

Always recommended to use the OEM Laverda parts for safety.
