86 Rear brake help...

<< < (2/4) > >>

Danger4u2:
Ok, first the picture I have is of my KLR650.  The chain adjustment is similar to what you have.  It looks to me like you have no spacer in your picture.  Or at the least not wide enough.  Don't know if this helps but it's all I have for you, good luck and please keep us posted in case someone else has this problem.

gowen:
David, that is what I noticed too. If the spacer is there and sinking into the hub, maybe a bearing collapsed and the spacer isn't seating properly against it? But, there would be like a 1/2inch gap on the other side of the rim.  Any thoughts?

serafin:
Could you take the wheel off and give us a few more pictures.

Just my opinion but it looks like there is a spacer missing between the caliper bracket and the hub - I am going to check my bike out to see
Did I read it right that it was actually missing the rear axle nut?

When I bought the POS bike, it had no rear axle nut, therefore I didn't notice the problem.

Now that I checked the rear brake out a little, and started to hand-tighten the rear axle, I notice that the brake caliper plate is riding on the rotor--no clearance. (Pic 1)



The only thing I can figure is that the bushing that goes inside the caliper slide that attaches to the swingarm has been reversed. (Pic 2)



I've checked the online parts diagram from Kawasaki.com, and also the Clymer's manual that I have, and everything SEEMS right.  But it's clearly not.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Looking at Kawasaki.com looks like you are missing part number 92027-1944 which is a collar or spacer. Look again at the web-site and look under rear hub.
