Scary Issue??

Post by yamaboy »

Hi..
I put my front tire back on and noticed that the metal bushing on the right side might not be all the way in. If someone could take a look at their bike and let me know it would help me a bunch...I use the freeway a lot..

Here's 2 pics for a better understanding.

Thanks a lot guys

I don't believe they go all the way in. That inner part rides on the bearing...

Guys,
the problem is not wether it is all the way in but the torque on the front axle ! :deadhorse:

If the torque is off the axle can unscew and you may just see more of the bushing BUT the bushing is NOT a precision piece so the step in it is not consistent ( I have two and they are 2.57mm off to each other !!! ) canofworms

You said you have two?? I only have one bushing for the right side and the other side it goes right into the "speed sensor".
I'll be using the torquewrench at work.. Anyone remember the torque??

Who needs a torque wrench. I figure I have 4 kids each with their own strength ability. I just use the different ones depending on how tight I need something.
