Some advise please

[screaming red]

Hi to all,

 

Just had my rear tire replaced and something does not look right. I remember seeing a nut and lock ring on the right swing arm, can't be sure but not feeling safe riding.

Any help would be appreciated.

Can you look at the manual and see if all was done right?

You might have to re-do the installed from the beginning to make sure it was done right, there is a downlaod for the manual here...in the tech section

Hey Red

Looks ok to me, Only difference I see is pinch bolt has

been changed & flat washer added.

Just a suggestion. But you may wish to sign up for My Yamaha. It's free but allows access to the parts catalogs. Where you can see the exploded views of the bike parts. It may help.

Just wanted to make sure, I just remembered a bolt on that side.

Pretty much looks like this one and the washer is in the right spot. Pinch bolts stand out.

It's not done right, the swingarm should be up against the brake mount, the washer needs to go against the hub. Here's a couple pics of what it should look like. I know mine doesn't look the same, but this is off a MKII and my MKI looks the same, 'course I don't know what bike you've got.........

No, No, No. The washer goes between the caliper carrier and the swingarm, just like it does in your pics. On a stock 1st gen that washer ends up being pretty close to the swing arm. If you put the washer against the hub the brake caliper is not located properly on the disc.

 

Everything stacks up from the left. The reason for the shoulder on the axle is to pull the washer against the caliper carrier - which positions the caliper centered over the disc. That side of the swing arm has a clamp (instead of a nut like on your bicycle) to allow some variation in the parts without binding stuff up.

 

The OP appears to have a 2nd gen. Not sure if the position is correct but the parts are in the right order. If it's too far to the left the problem is over at the final drive.

 

BTW, I have a 2nd gen final drive on my MKII. That results in the wheel moving about 1/4" to the left. So, I have a noticeable gap between my swing arm and that washer.

OK, I stand (or sit rather!) corrected on the washer, I've just never seen that much gap between the carrier and the swingarm.

[MiCarl]

Yeah, it's tight enough on a 1st gen that they've got an angle cut onto the swingarm so you can cram it in.

Looks just the same on my '08...

Thanks for all your replies and sorry I should have put second gen in my posting. Its 10 degrees today in Ontario Canada and looks like great riding weather. Have a great day guys.
