This is a 2 part question. I came outside to get on my bike the other day and the rear axle was hanging and about fell off. The larger nut(muffler side) was gone a long with the washer.
Good thing I checked this time!

First, do the nuts need to be tightened after having new wheels put on?? I'd say no more than 100 miles ago I had new tires put on.
If not, that means someone intentionally loosened the nut...or it was not properly tightened when the wheels were changed.

Second part- All I need is the nut and washer. I ordered a new axle assembly but I'd rather keep it for back up. What exactly is the size of the nut? 16mm ID? I got that size but It won't thread properly. Does anybody know the correct thread size?
My bike never came with a manual & I thought to give this a try before searching the web.

Thanks in advance!!!

Wow! I'd say definitely the tyre shop stuffed up on that one! The nut is (should have been) tightened to 84Nm - there's sfa chance of the thing just working itself lose.
Sorry can't help you with the nut size, my bike's in another country at the moment.

Yeah, of course they won't accept responsibility. Called them today to see if they had the extra parts laying around and told them about it.
"Someone loosened it or locking mechanism failed"🤨

I'm just thankful I caught it before hitting the road.
Parts are otw- just waiting now.
Thanks for the response!

Just to note, I believe the nut has a locking feature built into it, and is different from a typical hardware nut. There is a thin "collar" on the outer side of the threads.

On parts diagrams, it's described as "NUT, U FLANGE (16MM)", with part # 90306-MGZ-J01.

The 2013-2015 service manual lists the torque spec as 88Nm (65 lb-ft). Did it change in subsequent years?

No, same torque spec
