I'm having issues getting the rear caliper to line up with the rotor. Its about an 1/8 inch off. Everything is aftermarket. Has anyone else had this issue? What am I missing?
Thanks Higgy
-
This is one of those..
:thread_pics:
Can't say I've had any serious issues with alignment.. hopefully something is just missing or slightly out of whack.

I'd love to add this to the smiley list but it'd just get abused way too much!!

Ok here ya go. See how the caliper is pushed all the way over and it still won't clear the rotor! Not sure what i'm missing?

are you sure the anti fade is in all the way? it looks like a space between the bearing holder and the rotor hub
-
It's pretty common to run washers. I just had to do it on my wife's. However I agree, it doesn't look like the antifade is all the way on...
-
If it is in all the way you might need to take if off and grind a 1/8" off of it.

Ok, I may have to take about 1/8 off of the anti-fade. How do you feel about using washers to shim it out?
Thanks Higgy
-
you might get the anti fade to move some after a small ride, try the washers to see if it will move after a little bouncing around, if it is indeed in all the way, I think I would do as Tony said and shorten it up a bit.. but its your quad, washers would bother me as a permanent fix in this situation
-
So I measured the end of the anti-fade and its almost .600? I'm just wondering if thats a standard length? Before I modify it. Also I wonder if my bearings are pressed in all the way?? Has anyone else had to grind off material? It seems a bit drastic.

I had to take that much off when mix and matching a 400 EX axle.

Ok thanks, so I may have a 400ex axle. The axle I got came with a frame that I bought. The guy just threw it in.
Thanks Higgy

I was able to just take the threaded piece and take it down with a surface grinder
-
Yeah grind it down. Washers are not a good way to fix anything ever. It looks extremely trashy.

Yeah I agree!! Kinda of a hokey way to fix it. Not on my bike!!!
Thanks Higgy.

I don't think your Anti-fade is in all the way.....look at the pic....the shaft has a wear mark where the seal wore off the anodizing....looks like the amount needed to move to the left (swingarm side) What Bearings did you install ? Maybe they're wider ? :)

The anti-fade is brand new. That mark your talkin about is the steel sleave thats preesed onto the alum. I'm gonna take a look at the bearings today and make sure that they're pressed in all the way.
Thanks Higgy

It appears that my bearings may not be pressed in all the way on the caliper side! I bought it this way used, Apparently I need to quit buying other peoples junk!!! So I'm torn, Do I try an pull the bearings to replace them or do I heat up the carrier and try and press that side in more or should I just buy a new Bearing carrier?
Thanks Higgy
-
I don't think pressing one side is an option the spacer tube in the middle makes it wear you have to move both sides.the tube may be to long
-
My RPM Antifade is .6050
-
So I inspected the bearings a little closer and as it turns out the brake side wasn't pressed I all the way. So I got pressed in the rest of the way and my rear brake now fits over the rotor, I win!! Thanks for all the help guys!!
Thank Higgy

Higgy, what'd you do to that fresh powder in the middle of the swinger?!?!?
-

Thanks Higgy
