A little back wheel help please
Before I start let me say that I have a manual on order just have not recieved it yet..ok I have an 07 SG back tire has 10000+ miles needs changed. I removed the tire but failed to notice which direction the spacer on the drive side was positioned. IT has a large side and small side. Does the large side go against the wheel or towards the swingarm ? Im guessing towards the swingarm .. thanks

Just the opposite. Larger end goes toward the outside.

I have a 06 RKC and the large end goes toward the swingarm. Here are some specifics for my bike. I "suspect" yours will be the same.
Put a light coat of anti-seize lubricant on the axle, adjust the belt tension (3/16 - 1/4" of deflection with 10 lbs. of force) by moving the adjuster cam on the left side of the axle, tighten the cone nut on the right side to 95-105 ft-lbs.

Here is what I don't understand. If you adjust the cam on the left side, should you not also adjust the one on the right side to keep the wheel tracking straight?

Well now I'm embarrassed! I just had my rear wheel off a couple of weeks ago for a new tire and never noticed the flat spot lol. I just marked them with a marker before I took them off and put them back the same. I do remember reading that in the manual tho and thinking, what about the other side? Thanks for the reply.
