That never happened to me. Certainly not in the middle of the Alcan 5000, costing me the lead. Nope. Never happened. da Vermonster

Sometimes setting the sprocket hub down will dislodge this spacer and it will fall out. If you assemble the sprocket hub to the wheel hub without this spacer it may work ok for a while but eventually your bearings will be toast. Ask Mr. Mumford all about this. > > Fred > http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com > > > > From: ALFRED > Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2013 6:34 AM > To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Squeaking Hub > > > Just mounted a Pirelli Scorpion Trail on the rear. Now I'm getting a loud consistent squeaking. There is 11K miles on my '05. I checked the 3 rear bearings and they seem fine. The alignment seems correct. I lubed the axle w/ grease. The rear brake pads are low but still have meat, and the noise doesn't change when applying the rear brake which stops the bike ok. Misplaced my Clymer manual, so thinking, is this rear pads telling me its time to change even though they are still within spec? > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] >
