Just wondering if anyone else had has issues with the rear axle loosening up or moving allowing belt to get loose?

This has happened to my new 2019 cvo limited more than once and the fix is a new swing arm, wheel, axle and assorted parts. Some of these replacement parts carry a new part number.

I suspect my rear axle ran out of threads and would not clamp the assembly properly even at 150 lbs. torque, causing bearing, belt, wheel, etc. problems. Dealer is not sure this is an isolated case or there is an issue with the rear assembly, but is very pro-active to get things right! I thank them for that.

If you can rotate your rear axle with the left side (welded) nut, properly torqued, you may have a problem.
