I’m in need of a SB6 rear axle.

If you have one in stock or you know where I can find one please let me know, I will be grateful..

What's up Vince
Have you polished it so much it's out of spec?
Or is it just not perfect like the rest of your bike Smile Wink

I'd try contacting Armin of DRT Schneider...he hasnt any listed on his site...but he always seems to have a way of finding such things

http://www.bimota-teile.de/Bimota/index.html

Or Try Rudolf of Bimota-parts.de.....

http://www.bimota-parts.de/en/?gclid=CPfG8rGdlqECFQc9lAodpCd2OQ

Email both in German with the part number if you can...or at least describe....I've used both before and they are good

Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

Hursty, You have a very good judgement. Laughing


It’s true, it’s not that the axle is broken or badly damaged.
But my bike didn’t give any problems or things to solve so I was looking for small things or annoying things. And they promise me that when you buy a Bimota you will always be busy with maintenance. So not true … Laughing

The story with that axle is: after I adjusted the chain and torqued the axel is was slightly of alignment.
Only seen when is checked with a laser … (I know I know it’s a bit over the top). Rolling Eyes
And also with installing the axle I found that I need to use much force. From experience it has to go smooth.

So this winter period I take a closer look at all the parts that are involved with chain adjustment and I found that the rear axle is slightly bend and the chrome layer is blistering. That’s why I want a new axle.

And maybe the problem isn’t a new axle … I’m in need for a new Bimota to modified again to satisfied my needs … maybe a DB this time.

Only my wife thinks I’m in need of psychiatric help. she let me not buy a other Bimota.

And what about you, I was hoping to see this winter pictures of your bike in kiwi-land panorama.
What’s wrong, No time to ride your Bim?

There is this new one on Ebay....a titanium Corse one...steep at 349 eruos...but was 699 New...I know that this ebay dealer sometimes takes offers..........

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Corse-Vorderachse-Titan-Bimota-SB6-SB7-/370701445687?pt=Motorrad_Kraftradteile&hash=item564f872a37

Oh...if you find a Sb6 rear spindle...may be best to renew your wheel bearings also...if the old spindle was bent then the bearings may have had a hard life in dealing with the wheel not running true......The Cush drive also has a couple of bearings in it...all should have numbers on the outer face and easy enough to locate replacements

You could probably get one made, it could be cheaper and better than an original.

Hi Steve,

The axle on EBay is a front axle. And to expensive. Shocked

It’s good you mention the bearings, I was in doubt about the bearings.
I had already inspect them and they look fine, but as you say they had a hard life and it’s easy to find new ones and to replace. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks, my doubt is gone. Wink
