Author Message   Jrfitzny Posted on Thursday, February 07, 2013 - 05:55 pm:        Good day all, I had just reinstalled my rear wheel, and now the rear sprocket (outer face) is rubbing the swingarm. I removed/installed the wheel several times, with and without the belt, but it's still rubbing. I also replaced the wheel bearings and spacer just to be safe, and the sprocket still rubs. I'll post pictures as soon as I get home. Any ideas? Thanks   Baf Posted on Thursday, February 07, 2013 - 06:40 pm:        Are you sure you have the spacers in right? Isn't one larger than the other?   Froggy Posted on Thursday, February 07, 2013 - 06:59 pm:        Is it the stock 08 wheel? The 2010 wheel has a spacer that can fall out or stick to the tire machine, and with it not in the wheel won't line up correctly. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/327 77/654000.html?1317571753   Jrfitzny Posted on Thursday, February 07, 2013 - 09:33 pm:        It's an 08 wheel with a rear spacer. The spacer aligns between both bearings pretty easily. Everything looks tight, flush, and aligned.   Andros Posted on Friday, February 08, 2013 - 11:12 am:        How much room should there be? Mine has 1 mm only. Is that enough?   Jrfitzny Posted on Monday, February 11, 2013 - 08:54 pm:        From the picture you can see how the sprocket is worn just under the belt. The left side of my frame my bent inwards a bit (I'm assuming from my Pitbull stand). I ended up having my dad pry between the sprocket and frame while I tightened down on the pinch bolt. This solved the problem for now, but I am concerned about the frame being bent.   Andros Posted on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 - 03:42 am:        I have never crashed mine but i only have a 1mm gap!   Sprintst Posted on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 - 10:14 am:        If the wheel was overtorqued and the spacer was crushed some, I could see it doing this   1125rcya Posted on Wednesday, February 13, 2013 - 02:49 pm:        Yeah my stands are off as well, with that being said, the thing can be tipped over easy with no back tire on there. No issues with my clearance, maybe a 1/8". Maybe someone got an xb spacer? I know one thing I tighten mine by the book, torque to a certain speck loosen then torque to another speck   Zac4mac Posted on Thursday, February 14, 2013 - 12:42 am:        I figure, with the pinch bolt holding everything solid, I take both axles light-tight(I'll guess no more than 20 ft#) and tighten the pinch bolts. I've got 23k miles on Loretta with orange dust seals in both wheels. I traded my wheels and got a set of Amber Translucid from another BWBr at around 6k miles - 29k now. Just went and looked at Loretta. Very small gap betw/ swingarm and sprocket, 1 - 2 mm only. I did have a 20mph lo-side on the right side, no other "downs".
