Wheel off center?
« on: December 15, 2018, 10:40:23 AM »
Is it normal for the rear wheel of a cb650 to be off center by a little bit?  The chain runs true on the sprockets, but the wheel is off-center on the swingarm (about 3/16") and offcenter in the top frame rails of the seat area ( about 1/2").  Is this common?

Can you run string from the rear to the front and see if they are aligned? I don’t believe they are intentionally off center. What year 650? Is this spoked or mag wheels?
