What is this for? There is one on each side. It goes all the way through.  | ||

Axle adjusters so you can adjust for chain stretch? I like the dimple idea better, that's clever. | ||

I would imagine it is so you can push axle forward if chain is to tight or for wheel service? | ||

Chain adjusters as used on the 1190RS. | ||

Thanks, Rob! I don't know why I didn't think about the RS. I just checked an exploded view of the RS. Those adjusters are more robust. They actually hold the axle in place. The RX adjusters do not hold the axle in place. The axle is pushed back by a bolt pushing against it on the front side. Chain tension will tend to pull the axle against the adjuster bolts, but it can move backwards. I know. It should never move if the axle is tight. I cleaned and lubed my chain today. I noticed a gap between my axle and the adjuster on the side opposite the chain. It makes me wonder if it moved when the axle was tightened, or if it moved while riding on my trailer for 14 hours on the way home from the Buell meet in Tennessee. I was using a pitbull trailer restraint that holds the bike by the axle. (Message edited by pmjolly on June 08, 2014) | ||

The RS chain adjusters and wheel spacers are VASTLY better than the RX. They are a similar design to the original 1125r chain drive kit allowing for a quick change rear. Pat, come check mine out when you have a chance. | ||

BTW, the threaded hole is M8x1.0 -- fine thread. | ||
