CB500/550 / Re: Rear wheel rotation stiffens up when tightening axle problem.

The left bearing, with retaining ring has only one true position which is "fully" located in it's accompanying architecture.
This is the wheel datum (same on front too) for the rim alignment in the chassis, with all other spacing etc slaved off this installation. Bearing race fully home and retaining ring fully tightened is the only method, anything else with compromise doesn't take precedent over this procedure. The other parts and alignment should be looked through for fault if it exists then.
If the primary, LEFT bearing isn't secure in it's location, then the wheel can move across the axle during use to the detriment of competent running and risk of jamming the wheel in cases of significant movement.
