Split pins



FAQ about Xpert Moto's Split pins Collection:

What are split pins and why buy them from Xpert Moto Gear?

Split pins, also known as cotter pins, are mechanical fasteners used to secure bolts, axles, castle nuts, and clevis pins in place by preventing rotation or loosening. At Xpert Moto Gear, we provide high-quality split pins made from stainless steel or zinc-coated steel for superior corrosion resistance and strength. Xpert Shop split pins are essential in brake systems, foot controls, sprockets, and other high-vibration areas where reliability and safety are critical.

Are Xpert Shop split pins compatible with all motorcycle systems?

Yes, Xpert Shop offers split pins in various diameters and lengths to suit multiple motorcycle applications, ranging from rear axle nut retention to securing clutch and brake linkages. Our pins are compatible with most Japanese, European, and American motorcycle brands. Each pack includes sizing details, usage recommendations, and installation tips to ensure proper fit for your specific system.

How do I use split pins from Xpert Moto Shop during installation?

To install a split pin from Xpert Moto Shop, insert it through the hole of the shaft or bolt after the nut is torqued, then bend the prongs in opposite directions to lock it in place. Always replace split pins during disassembly, as reused ones can fatigue or fail. Xpert Moto Gear recommends using the appropriate size for the hole and checking for clearance to ensure secure, interference-free retention.

Why are Xpert Gear Shop’s split pins better than hardware store varieties?

Xpert Gear Shop’s split pins are engineered for motorcycle-specific use, featuring precision-rolled ends, high-shear strength, and rust-resistant finishes.
