Topic: Rear wheel spacers.

[Dion]

Hi guys. I've noticed that The rear wheel in my K2 Honda is not 100% in the centre of the swing arm. It is about 1cm off centre to the LHS .   Did different models have different wheel spacers?

Wheels are not necessarily. Centered on a lot of bikes. If you check chain alignment carefully, and it's good you are probably ok.. If its out with all stock parts, swingarm may be bent.

Thats correct, swingarms are not symmetrical but the WHEEL SHOULD BE IN THE CENTER OF THE BIKE, lined up as good as it can be with the center line of the front wheel. I have a frame going on a frame jig here at the moment and i discussed this point with the owner just a couple of days ago, I have to have my engine block in and swingarm and rear wheel on so everything can be lined up to center perfectly, or as physically close as can be, under 1 millimeter out..
