Front Spindle assembly on a 750 K6
« on: April 20, 2025, 04:32:36 PM »
A liitle knowledge needed please. I noticed a little movement in the front wheel and found sideways play on the spindle of about 5mm. I seem to have everything in place but wonder if the spacer is just too small. Any advice would be appreciated.

You have the nut on the wrong way round, hexagon goes against spacer.

For reference, if you’re ever unsure or want to sanity check yourself on assembly sequence, CMSNL is a good resource for exploded diagrams. I’ve restored many Hondas, Kawasakis, Suzukis over the years and still refer back to these from time to time.

Yes that was very useful.
And I had to change my password and also all my Bookmarks no longer work so I have to delete and do again.

Hi Bryan - I hadn't until you mentioned it. That's bloody annoying - I used to use that a lot!

Yeah, this and the [my models] library, most inconvenient... (did have 7 models stored there...  :-\ )
Already contacted their support, they assured me that it will clear up after the transition to their new system... one can only hope...

I’m beginning to understand just how they feel.

New system.
