03 BG Chopper 250 rear axel spacers

[Thunder4000]

does anyone have a diagram of the spacers on the rear axel. they fell out when pulling the axel to replace my tire. any help will be greatly appreciated

Right side, thin one goes between the frame and brake, next one goes lip towards bearing. Left side is a single with a lip also faces bearing. Hope this helps?

that helps a lot thank you there is a real skinny washer do you know where that one may go

Ima guess on the left side. It may be taking up slack on the brake? Try addinig to the first thin one. If the brake rattles around, its wrong.

thanks again for all your help do you recommend using grease or anticize on the axel? may I ask is ok to use synthetic oil in the 107

Little anitsieze aint gonna hurt and Yes to the syn oil. Lots of opinions on that one.

Forgot to mention, if you loosen all 4 strut bolts then remove the top one on both sides, you can pivot the rear fender up outta the way a bit. Just tie a string to a tail light, lift the fender and tie the other end to the handle bars. More room is handy.

any suggestions on aligning the rear wheel

 

[HMAN]

I put a dimple in the center of each side of the axle bolts and then used a set of calipers to measure from center to the cut out on the frame. I know there are better ways but this one is mine.

I put the wheel back on tonight.......so I'll try your trick in the morning. Thanks for all your help

Hman trick will work just fine and get you really close and possibly perfect...but you need to roll the tire forward several and I mean several revolutions to make sure it is tracking right...once you get it tracking right never loosen the adjusters ever again....you can get the axle and out and tire off without moving them..

Thanks for all the advice. it worked great and been riding
