Missing Front wheel Spacer?

saken · Jun 18, 2019

Hello Guys,

I was changing my tires and think I am missing a spacer on the front wheel.

In the picture, can anyone confirm if there is a ring spacer that goes here??

I looked in the manual but I dont see any ring spacer in the parts diagram. But Im sure there was one there which the cylindrical spacer rest against.

According to the service manual, there is a spacer. Might still be in rim?
I'm taking mine off for the first time this weekend and happened to be looking at it.
Looks like a matching spacer on the other side also.
Good luck. I can try to send pics tonight when I can get to my computer big needed.

These fit into the counter bores on both side of the rim. Nothing else goes in between if that helps.

Now that I read your question more thoroughly...No, nothing past the cylindrical spacer.
Sorry if I was confusing.

After you get the wheel on, tighten the nut to spec, and then the two axle bolts on the nut side. Press down hard on the front end a few times without the brakes on, and then tighten the other 2 axle bolts. Wheel aligned.

Appreciate it guys. I must of been imagining that there was a thin ring spacer there but theres none.

When it comes to aligning the wheel, Dave moss has a great video on youtube describing how to do it. It explains it perfectly but thanks appliance. You might have watched it also

Yes I did LOL. The idea of the captive side turned on a lightbulb. The manual has no such reference. Right after watching Moss, I went out and used his method and it really helped.
