Then I fully tighen the 28mm nut, tighten the pinch bolts on the left (Speedo side) fork. I then undo the pinch bolts previously nipped up on the right hand side. Fit the caliper, pump the brake lever until the pads can stop the wheel spining.
I then take out the front paddock stand. Then with the front wheel on the deck pull on the front brake and pump the forks up and down so everything aligns itself as the right fork can move along the wider part of the spindle, allowing to finally tighten the right fork pich bolts.
Works a treat providing the Spacer replacing the speedo is the correct width and the spindle is in fact straight |
Hmmm, now I remember ensuring there was a ferw mm of the axle poking out from the side of the fork leg (not flush) to get the single disk centered up!! It was only after the pads were very low that I had any issues with proximity to the caliper though.
