GSXR front end - axle question UPDATED WITH PICS PAGE 2 HELP
 

Just being doing a trail fit of my GSXR front end before it goes on the bike.

Discovered one disc is bent, another Motoliner trip on the way :evil:

the axle is the right width for the forks with no wheel in, but with the wheel in place the axle nut and axle do not sit flush each side but stick out about 4mm to get the wheel central.

I have a K2 wheel, are there a few types of GSXR axle.

Should point out this is on a pointy with GSXR 750 forks.

D I need a diffrent axle???

What wheel are you using ?
SRAD wheel(same spoke design as SV) or 'K' series wheel

Cheers

I thought it was a K2 GSXR 600 wheel when i bought it, now I'm wondering if its a older wheel they have sent me...

In that case do I need a SARD axle to sort it, does a SARD wheel have smaller spacing between hub and fork leg?

This could be why my axle is sricking out each side?

Have you got the axle in the correct way?

Yup tried both ways just to check :lol:

I must need a SARD axle for some reason, the wheel I think must not be a K series!

I think i read that this is to do with diffrent axles and years. I beleave that its not a problem as long as the disks are nicley centered in the calipers will give a good indication that the forks are ok. Not 100% but i remember lots of pages re that on SVrider.

take 3.5mm off the nut and al will be fine :lol:

Sorry , computer crashed(again) :roll:

...so does the wheel look like the SV one?

Just so I've got this right. You are usinbg K series forks and K series yokes. That being the case and assumming the wheel is an SRAD one , the axle assumming :roll: :lol: it's a 'k' series one is fine.

All that needs doing is centering of the wheel. With regards to how much of the nut/spacer you should have sticking sticking out , all I can tell you is that it's between 3mm-4mm. I think robw70 made it 3.5mm(I could be wrong).

Edit: I was right then :lol:

using;

K5 GSXR 1000 yokes
K3 GSXR 750 legs
K3 GSXR axle - I believe
K3 GSXR Wheel - I believe, it looks like a K one not a SARD one

The type of axle I have should sit flush on both sides and does so with the wheel out.

I fI just cut the nut that will place the wheel off center??

So are the spacers on the SARD axle smaller?

This would solve my problem, am nervous with the idea of holding my wheel centered via the pinch bolts on the fork legs.
