[QUOTE="dmsantam, post: 1383029, member: 87733"] I am based in Australia, and have a 2001 model FJR. Had it for a few years, and it's been a great bike. A couple of months ago, a set of wheels became available locally very cheap from a 2003 model, and I bought them. My rear tyre is nearly worn, so I thought I would change to the new wheel, which has a good tyre on it. When I went to torque the axle nut, the other side of the axle pulled through too far... very strange. I tried my normal wheel, no problem. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the wheel bearings on the shaft drive side are further "in" the wheel. my original wheel pic: [URL="https://photos.app.goo.gl/yckpzPdf6MWiZgCl2"]https://photos.app.goo.gl/yckpzPdf6MWiZgCl2[/URL] new wheel pic: [URL="https://photos.app.goo.gl/TA2LIYqrX5Rs6TQB3"]https://photos.app.goo.gl/TA2LIYqrX5Rs6TQB3[/URL] What is going on here? Is this something to do with ABS? is there some way I can use this wheel, with a spacer perhaps? My bike does not have ABS. cheers, Dan [/QUOTE]
