I just had Shinko 705s mounted and I am installing the wheels. I had some help removing wheels and I did not pay attention to front wheel spacers. The only thing I can now find for front wheel is the speedo drive on left side and no spacer between wheel and fork tube on right. Is this correct or am I missing a right side axle spacer? The install looks OK but I need answer before riding. Thanks in advance.

I did check with on-line parts fiche but I could not be positive with Ron Ayers fiche.

There is no right side axle spacer. The shoulder of the larger diameter axle end rests against the bearing.

To add to Greywolf's input, when I remove and reinstall my front wheel, I always orientate the speedo housing and its cable as shown in the photograph below; vertically and with some slack between the speedo housing and the first cable clamp.

Many thanks for quick response. Now can I get some help with this constant non-ending rain we have here in CA. Most winters I am celebrating the rain while breaking the dirt bike out of hibernation but this year has been ridiculous.

If it's any consolation, I've found that the Shinko 705s are outstanding in the rain. :mrgreen:
