Rear wheel spacers


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello all.  Thanks for letting me join.  I've owned may oil cooled GSXRs throughout my life.  I've owned this one for the better part of 20 years.  So here's the deal; I took the front and rear wheels off the bike to have new tires mounted.  The old tires were from 1997.  I know I know!  Anyway, I put the wheels back on and I suspect that I'm missing a spacer on the rear wheel.  I've looked at the service manual, Google, and they are not giving me the information that I need.  Does anyone have a picture of the rear wheel of their 1986, 1987 GSXR750 so I can see the spacers that are used?  I've attached the service manual diagram for reference.  As far as I can tell, the order of the spacers is wrong in the manual in that the rear brake support should be against the swing arm.  It would not work with the spacer there.  Also the un-numbered spacer on the far side of #6 is not even numbered. Why?  Is that spacer not used?  Thanks in advance. Resized_20230530_124735.thumb.jpeg.444f8aa4a3ad677444530d011dca6eda.jpeg0208.thumb.jpg.83fbabda4b5d4a5582ed274d175aba20.jpg

Welcome, and first off, those are slingshot wheels that you have in your slabbie, so they're not going to be a direct match to the manual. Slingshots do have the brake mount up against the swing arm, with a small spacer between the mount and the wheel. Look up the info for an 88/89 750 and that should help.
