I'm putting Mad Max back together, and noticed something. Are the fasteners that hold the rotor on supposed to have a flat washer on each side? I'm not talking about the square "washer" that goes on before the rotor, the fasteners I took off each have two flat round washers that went with them. I have an '03 manual and no mention of flat washers, look like they would interfere with the springs. My bike is an '05 so didn't know if they changed this, or if this is something the crazy PO did?? Trying to get this wheel back together, would appreciate any input... | ||

no washers on my '03 or '06, nor are there any listed in either SM. | ||

Thanks for the reply Andy. The PO did some STRANGE things to this bike, so I figured this was one of his "improvements"!! | ||

I just built up 3 front wheels that I had powdercoated. I don't have the part numbers, but the count is this...... 6 bolts. 6 springs. 6 square spaces. 6 square flat washers. No round washers. Hope that helps. | ||

Thanks Ratfink, that's what my manual shows too. I will pitch these round washers and build it back up the way it's supposed to be, thanks for the help... | ||

New Erik Buell Racing brake rotor hardware kit uses round washers. part # CQ0001.02A8 for the kit. Copper washers, steel washers and steel beveled washers are used with the other hardware. Springs are no longer used or needed. Found here.. this is what i'm using. http://www.EBRacing.com/shop/product27.html | ||

Thanks Bear. I just picked up a spare set of rims that came with a rotor but no hardware. I was going to call the dealer today. | ||

BTW, the kit at Erik Buell Racing is $20+ cheaper than getting 6 of everything that Ratfink listed - at least from my local dealer (and that's before sales tax). (Message edited by vospertw on August 25, 2010) | ||
