sprocket rubbing against swingarm!!!
Posted: Tue Feb 21, 2006 4:46 pm
Hi guys,
i was wondering if anyone has come across this problem before:
Basically i used the bike with supercorsas on and when it started raining swapped the tyres to wets but on the same wheel rims. When i had fitted the wheel again the sprocket was being crushed against the swingarm and the rear wheel wouldnt move. I loosened up the wheel and tried again, this time the wheel moved but there was a kind of clunking and grinding noise as the wheel turned.
Somebody told me 2check the spacers as i could have been using the 1s from a zxr750 rear wheel and these wouldnt fit but i checked and i was using the correct spacer for that wheel.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what to try next or what the problem might be?
Im going to try using a different set of spacers this evening but im thinking as the spacers i was using came from the wheels originally and i didnt have this problem 2 start with it cant be that, if anyone has any suggestion it would be much appreciated as im starting 2worry with brands only being a few weeks away!!!!
ps sorry about long explanation - only way i could explain it
