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

Spindle is this type;



Wheel was defo from a K2 GSXR 600

[21QUEST]

Hmmm.. if all the bits are what you believe them to be then it should all bolt up right . The spacer/nut I believe is the same. but the axle is slightly longer

Ok a couple of things to check

Measure and post up
1) length of the spindle

2)the length of the shouldered bit.
Then after comparing to a known k series axle we may have to go to no.4*

3)What's the distance between the two discs inside surfaces(wheel hub width dimension).

*4)If you can , carefully(very) pry out the dust seal the also get the number on the bearing. Just trying to cover all bases but maybe someone has stuck the wrong bearing(heightwise).

Cheers

ps No. 1&2 probably not the problem to be honest but no harm checking.

EDIT: I just realised I should have a couple of axles(SRAD and K) close by so have fished them out and taken some measurements.

SRAD length excluding shoulder = 178mm
'K' Series length excluding shoulder = 171mm

All measurements were taken using a tape measure but would be good enough to show what we have

Thanks mate.

The wheel is defo K2 but from a bike with RWU forks if that makes a diffrence.

Will measure my axle tonight.

Otherwise they both get trimmed with a angle grinder

I sounds like I may have a SARD axle, but need a K series one, do you want to sell yours if thats the case Ban?

cheers

Personally I would not go trimmimg anything.

It should bolt straight up the question is 'why is it not?' (ok I'm very curious as to why you have a problem )

While you are there(curious again) , could you measure the centre to centre measurement of the top yoke where the forks go through .

The axle grinder was a joke matey for the moment at least!

The axle fits perfectly with the wheel out, it the right length and sits flush both ends! Its when the wheel is in the captive spacers on the axle cause the nut and axle to stick out a few mm each side, to center the wheel properly!

The bearings in the wheel, spacer all look fine and properly fitted!

The wheel is K2 off a bike with RWU forks not USD forks, but I wasn't aware that should make any diffrence.

Will measure axle, yoke, and hub tonight and post.

One question is, does the brake disks line up in the middle of the calipers easly?

Yes they do when the wheel is centred.

One of them is slightly warped so will get straightened tomorrow.

Its driving me mad now
