YZF750 rear wheel fitting...
Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2006 10:15 pm
Got myself a YZF750 5.5" rear wheel which came out a FZR600 so already had bearings in to take the smaller wheel spindle.
Slotted it in the swingarm, and it clears everything it should, but I need to know from someone else who'se done this...
Q1: What thickness do the spacers for sprocket side and disc side need to be machined down to?
Q2: The rear caliper needs moving over a bit too, to line up with the disc: needs washers or spacers to go on the bolts, between the swingarm mount and the caliper: how thick do these need to be?
Q3: Looks like the gearbox sprocket will need to move outwards a bit to line the chain up? If so, how much/how thick does this spacer/washer need to be?
I've got a rough idea on all of this from taking some approx measurements myself and by 'eye' but any exact measurements would help.
I've got access to a lathe, so can knock up the bits if I've got the sizes. Otherwise, the whole lot goes off to an engineer shop for measuring and making, which will cost me money!
Also, how accurate do the wheels of a bike need to be lined up? Obviously the nearer the better, but would it hurt if they were, say, 2 or 3 mm adrift?
Ta,
Dave.
