Guest Richzx6r Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 So I got my rear tyre done and I refitted the wheel in the swing arm but there is a small spacer that fits inside the main spacer on the left side of the rear wheel but I couldn't get that in so I left it out and did the nut up on the spindle but I can't stop thinking maybe that has put the alignment out, how do you check the alignment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 FFS if there is a spacer that has not gone back in DO NOT RUN THE BIKE YOU WILL FECK THE WHEEL BEARING. There, did I say that loud enough? Wheel spacers are there for a reason - to hold the wheel in the correct position on the axle. Get a manual or a parts diagram and work out what you have got wrong. 'Cos you will have.

The main spacer is in just a little insert which adds another 1/8th of an inch or so and when I did the nut up the nut pulled the gap up so the wheel hasn't shifted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 What Tim said , it's a washer that goes on the outside not a mini spacer that goes on the inside . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
