Wait a minute ... let's clarify a few things because i just realized that I think you have contradicting posts ...


This would mean you need to move the rotor to the Right (away from the Outside Pad)

But a "Smaller" wheel spacer would move the rotor to the Left


So which way do you want the Rotor to move? ... Left (clutch lever side) or Right (brake lever side) ?

.

 

the rotor needs to move towards the right ( cam side)

 

i thought i could put a smaller spacer on the right in theory would move the rotor that way too

 

Ok as I presumed ... I edited my Post# 9 above.


Now take out the Right spacer, move the wheel to the Right until the rotor is aligned.

How do you like your wheel/tire placement? ... Measure the gap between your Left spacer and the bearing (or spacer and slider).



Btw, changing ONLY the Right spacer width won't change the rotor alignment

.

 

ok im gonna have to try this tomorrow and i will get back to you. What would be the best tool to get in there for an accurate measurement?

 

For this, I would probably use Feeler Gauges between the Left slider and wheel spacer.

Or if needed, use whatever you got ... coins, washers, etc and then measure that "stack"

 

Ok sounds good thanks for the info i will def let you know how this goes

 

 

First thing I would do is inspect the calipers & see if the pistons are fully retracting back into the caliper,they can get gunked up. Take the pads off & make sure the pistons are flush with caliper face, if they are & you still have problems you can then go with the spacer change to correct the alignment. It almost sounds like whoever did the chroming got it on way to thick, if they aren't used to doing motorcycle parts they can really screw things up, good luck.

 

i bought them off of a guy on ebay and before i purchased them i asked if they would fit my bike he told me they would so i was under the assumption they would. I was sawpping my stock for chrome
