Just replaced the rear tire and besides the usual flat spot in the center the left side of the tire was considerably more worn than the right. Found no play in the wheel bearings or swing arm bushings.
My question for the group is about the collar that's in the right side swing arm. All the videos and info I've seen show that collar fully seated with the shoulder flat against the inside of the swing arm. I found mine before disassembly positioned with the shoulder of the collar about 1/4 " or more to the left, not against the swing arm and the pinch bolt tightened down holding it in that position. This would have had the wheel pushed a little left.
Would like to know if everyone who's removed his own wheel found that collar fully seated or not. I believe that may have been the cause of my uneven tire wear.
Thoughts?
