Rear Wheel Binding @ about 50 ft lbs.

[LSUBOY]

Done removed rear tire 05 Venture @ least 8 times. This time when placed back on bike, tire is hard to move and harder to move the more I torque it down. Washer on the bolt/left side of tire okay. Washer in the right place on the right side of tire. Stick finger inside of axle hole and bearings and everything rotates smothly.

 

Torque the booger down and the more I torque it, the harder the wheel is to move in netural. Something is binding and I cannot figure it out. I know it will come to pass sooner or later but would like to figure out the problem so eye can move on to my next one.

When I was swapping final drive to an FJR, I turned out that there is a spacer in final drive that could be removed easily and was missing. This was causing wheel to tighten up to point of being locked at about 50flbs.

SPACER on the left side is what it was. Must have fallen out @ the shop from replacement of wheels. Overnited a new one and am putting tha booger back together as we speak.
