CB550k3 Rear hub movement
Oddjob:
Actually DR I'd say it is a cause for concern as if it's not right the sprocket won't align with the chain, doesn't take much misalignment for it to chew up the side links. It's supposed to sit flush, if it doesn't something is wrong. The D ring BTW is supposed to sit with the flat side up, see if that's right Bookmark and try and drive that bearing down a bit further. What size bearing is fitted? Just so we can see if it's the right number.
Make sure the carrier ring and the hub side area are well greased.
deltarider:
The sound will tell you when you've driven the bearing all the way down. I often wondered why you sometimes will not be able to tight the retainer all the way down. But... often double side sealed bearings are used to replace the OEM ones. Could that be the cause?
Bookmark1:
The wheel bearings came from David Silver. The left one was an original part and the right one was an OEM part.
Oddjob:
Double seal or single or none, so long as it’s the right number they should all fit.
I never buy genuine bearings these days unless they are special ones like the gearbox, I do tend the however buy the same make, Koyo for Koyo for instance, same exact bearing for less than half the price generally.
Have you tried the bearing in the hub without fitting the sprocket carrier?

Didn't we have that discussion a while back and consensus was that it is flat side to the hub.
