    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What did I do wrong?

Well the first thing was letting my back brake pads wear to nothing and dig deep grooves in my back rotor. Got a used one in better shape on fleabay. Then I learn how to take my rear wheel off via basecliffs instructions. Get it back on with newish rotor. Well the I realize I ordered a set of front pads instead of back ones....the right ones came yesterday so I figure easy job I don't even have to take the wheel off. I get the old worn pads off and can't seem to get the new ones in. Then I noticed the rotor is off center! Upon further inspection its rubbing ever so slightly. Any idea what I did wrong? Am I missing a spacer?
 
Oh, yea u right..... after I posted this I went back and looked at the how to from Basscliff and yea I think that's what I did. I should have looked at the parts fiche. Now the last time I took the wheel off I dropped the exhaust, is this required? It seems really difficult or even impossible without taking off the exhaust.
 
If you remove one end of each shock, you can either lift the axle above the mufflers or lower it beneath them.

It also helps if you have the center stand on top of a 2x4 to give a little extra height at the rear.

For some reason I couldn't get it lower but I used a scissor jack to lift the wheel up and that worked. Thanks everyone!
