#233932 moespeeds (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 383 Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the axle? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Maybe I'm crazy, but it doesn't seem to make sense to me that the right side axle adjuster pushes the axle FORWARD. Is there some reason for this that I'm missing? Shouldn't both sdjusters be in front of the axle, pushing it back?   Logged     Moe Colontonio Cherry Hill, NJ 2004 BD Chopper 2003 Roadstar Midnight 2000 Roadstar Beater Project Redneck 330 Mono Project   The administrator has disabled public write access. #233936 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the axle? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   ya got to look at it a little closer, the right side pulls it back. I'm guessing they did it that way so as to confuse us...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #233938 moespeeds (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 383 Re:Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the axle? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   How does it pull it back? I changed my rear tire a few weeks ago, and when I put the wheel back on I changed the bolt over to the front side as it should be. Unless the previous owner did something different or I'm missing something obvious, that bolt on the rear was pushing on the axle, forward.   Logged     Moe Colontonio Cherry Hill, NJ 2004 BD Chopper 2003 Roadstar Midnight 2000 Roadstar Beater Project Redneck 330 Mono Project   The administrator has disabled public write access. #233940 jamie99roadstar (User) As confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar. Platinum Boarder Posts: 3364 Re:Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the axle? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   This may show better how it is supposed to be: The bracket where the adjuster bolt threads into slides over the axle, and the adjuster bolt pushes on the back of the swingarm, pushing the wheel back when you thread the bolt in.   Logged     Feenstras Towing   The administrator has disabled public write access. #233941 slothy (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1883 Re:Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the axle? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   it pulls it back - if you look closer its a bracket that the axle slides thru   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #233943 moespeeds (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 383 Re:Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the axle? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Duh, now I see. I knew I had to be missing something obvious. Now can anyone tell me the length, diameter, and thread count of that bolt? I'll need to pick up another one since I chopped mine down to fit on the front side of the axle!   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/10/29 13:23 By moespeeds.   Moe Colontonio Cherry Hill, NJ 2004 BD Chopper 2003 Roadstar Midnight 2000 Roadstar Beater Project Redneck 330 Mono Project   The administrator has disabled public write access. #233964 moespeeds (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 383 Re:Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the axle? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   Anything wrong with cutting that clunky bracket off the backside and just using the bolt on the front side like I have it now?   Logged     Moe Colontonio Cherry Hill, NJ 2004 BD Chopper 2003 Roadstar Midnight 2000 Roadstar Beater Project Redneck 330 Mono Project   The administrator has disabled public write access. #233967 slothy (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1883 Re:Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the axle? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   its just comes off, no need to cut. surprised it didn't fall off when you did your tire swap?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #233968 jamie99roadstar (User) As confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar.

I think Doc has his like that.   Logged     Feenstras Towing   The administrator has disabled public write access. #233977 fireman922 (User) Chrome won't get ya home, but it will get ya laid. Platinum Boarder Posts: 4343 Re:Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the axle? 2 Years, 7 Months ago   I think it was done this way from Yamaha so you could adjust the rear without the exhaust getting int the way.
