rear wheel question

**ringadingh** · 09-11-2009, 08:51 PM

There is a spacer in the centre and another one on the RH side of the wheel that the axle passes through. Once the wheel is mounted on the splines and tightened, there should be no play.

thanks

So where's the question, or are you talking to yourself again, Ring?

Only the Phantom knows for sure!

Looks like the original post got deleted.

I hope this isn't going to be a habit... Ask a question, get a answer and delete the question..

This looks stupid...

Another answer to the "Phantom question". There is also a spacer in the left side that sits inside the final drive that the axle passes through, for a total of 3 spacers, and like Ring said, once torqued down, there should be no play.

sorry everybody, I'm the one who aske the original question and deleted it by mistake. here is another one: is there suppose to be any play in the whell hub/rubber damper. I have about 1/16" between the retainer clip and the hub.

thanks

macmac · 09-13-2009, 06:44 PM

What year bike are we talking about, or is it a 1500, 0r 1600?

And probably not, but I am not sure I understand.

Are you saying there is slop fore and aft in the damper, Or the plate that retains it is loose and the circlip is not holding it well?

01 1500's and I don't know what other years were recalled for this situation, and a new rubber damper was installed with related hardware.

sarc · 09-13-2009, 07:00 PM

its a 01 vn1500n, rebuilt with nomad parts. the rear wheel has disk brakes. you can put your fingers in the hub holes and lift (the plate) up and down on the hub about 1/16". the rubber damper has some wear marks on it. you talk about a recall? I will check with the dealer.

macmac · 09-13-2009, 07:06 PM

The damper is shot, and this wheel isn't safe with out it working, worse you would risk the drive line creating shock. This would be something like very bad ring and pinion gears in a pick truck, where the drive shaft really turns to far before the shaft goes clunk!!!

sarc · 09-13-2009, 07:16 PM

thanks, I have it appart already, what kind of noise, if any, would it make while riding? also, out of subjet, how can place a pic of my bike onhere?

macmac · 09-13-2009, 08:19 PM

I don't think you would really hear a noise, but rather would feel a semi neutral like condition between power on and power off, where slack must be taken.

I am not very computer literate. So I use photobucket to post pics here. In order to do so I must use the long form over quick reply, and copy and past from the bottom selection of the thumnail picture i select.

If you don't have that type of account follow my link and play with any picture you wish.

For example to post the pic below I go to it and hoover the mouse, and a display pops up. The bottom menu shows as IMG, and I left click that selection.

A message pops up saying the address is copied to notepad.

Then I just click on the post here.

I broke this so you can see what it appears to me as.

If i don't this picture is what I will see after submit the post.
