spacer on rear axel...

[duske]

Hi

Hope you can help because i don't understand ANYTHING....

I have mounted a 17" rear wheel/swing arm on my 906. It should now be same configuration as a 907 but i don't quite understand how the spacer works on the rear axel works...

If i look from the sprocket side I have the spacer ontop of the bearing, but how does the center come out and "touch" the swing arm. Right now it is the spacer that sits on top of the bearing that touches the swing arm and that can't be right...

Does this make sense - Hope somebody can help because i'm totally blank.

What happes now is that when i mount the wheel and tighten it the wheel can't turn.

See attached picture where you can see that the spacer is further out that the center.

Spacer MUST be reversed from pic,
flat side to swing.
If you've had it like pic f a longer period,
you have a cavity in the swing which can seize the
wheel when fastened!!
If this has happend, a good alu welder can fix it.
Wheel & bearings usually fine, this is not an uncommon
problem.

Yeah, that spacer certainly is a deceptive one. Lots of ruined swingarms and rear wheels from it. Check it when you change your rear tire. Most shop guys don't get it right. If you take the time to look at all the pieces on the rear wheel, (and front) you will see that all the torque from the axle goes through the inside races of the bearings.

T H A N K S.....

I have been looking at it for 2 hours to find a solution but couldn't find a way. I even made my own spacer and it works but I was not that happy driving 200 km/t with a self made spacer.

Again thanks....

Ps. It was assembled that way when i recieved it - maybe that is why
