Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Rear Axle

Post by Jeff Gordon »

Need some advice from those that have experienced this....removed the rear wheel today to change the brake disk and after cleaning up the axle it appears that from 1992 to today the axle has started to wear/pit near the threaded end. Not sure what the rule is for wear before changing the axle....this may not have be a problem at all, but wanted to ask!

A picture is worth more than a thousand words. We need to see exactly what you are talking about.
However, the axle should not be wearing at all. If it is, it is loose. There may be some corrosion where water gets in the gap between the axle and swingarm bushing, but no wear.
