Rear Wheel issues

[ubetya]

Short Story
My Rear Left Wheel Bearing came apart on me and Bearings Damaged the Spacer between Brake Mount and Bearing along with inside Wheel Bore where Bearing Seats.
I purchased a used but Good IS Wheel – it came with NO Flange (Spline?) or Brake Disk.
I just removed and cleaned greased and installed the ones off my Wheel.
Now the Disk is Rubbing inside of Brake Mount.??? I know I have all the Parts back where they should be.
My Bike is a 1998 Tourer I install a IS Wheel

You need an Interstate Rotor.

My limited research shows the rear discs have the same part numbers for a Tourer and an Interstate.
Check a parts fiche and compare the rear wheel/brake assemblies between the two.
You may be missing something.

If you do a search in the archives you will find this discussed many times yet I am still not positive on the deatils but here is what I recall. In 97 and maybe part of 98 the wheel was machined differently where the rotor mounts. You must have a 97 rotor on a 97 wheel and a 2000 rotor on a 2000 wheel. Some will talk about using spacers to put the caliper in line with the rotor on a mismatched set but I did not feel comfortable with that solution and went out and bought a used 2000 rotor to match my new to me used 2000 wheel that I had polished and mounted it on my 97. It is not the fact that it was an Interstate but rather the year manufactured.

Here is a recent thread about it. Pics toward the end.

The I/S had the new design wheel when they were introduced in '99.  It was put on the Standard/Tourers in '00 or '01.

You need a rotor that's the same year as the wheel.

You could put a washer between the wheel spacer and caliper bracket, find a Fender washer that has the correct size hole for the axle, about 1/16 is all you should need. I do this when I run my 97 wheel with my 99 brake rotor.

Three threads going right now all with bad ( L ) bearing ....My Interstate is on the lift for new tires and final drive maintence and I'll be doing the double row bearing mod on it . I put a new left bearing in it last tire change and it's still good however I've seen too many left bearings go bad not to make the double row move now while it's on the stand .Just think we have one member on here that claims bearing's don't go bad on a Valkyrie     I own three Valk's and have the double row bearing mod on my blue and white already the Interstate will be number two to get the bigger bearing....Two down one to go

Just did driveline manitenance on my '97 Tourer this past weekend.  Have 10K miles on the double row bearing mod.  Stuck my thumb in the left bearing and turned the inner race.  Tight and smooth as silk.  My Interstate will probably be going on the lift weekend after next for a DarkSide tire, double row bearing mod and the usual driveline maintenance.  The double row bearing mod, Pingel petcock and desmog are the 3 modifications I recommend to everyone.  If you like the stock petcock at least do the other two.

I saved it for next time the wheel is off.
