I changed my rear tire, and greased the splines, not sure it the Dust Guard is setting properly. Looks like it should be set back further, rode the bike a few miles, maybe 30 miles, and everything seems find. But wondering is the dust guard set correctly.

Yep, it’s fine. Mine does that every time I service the final drive. After 200,000 miles, it still looks like that every time.

Yes it looks disturbingly wrong but these guys say that's the way it should be.
I did the same thing, took the back wheel off and didn't really look at that. Put the wheel back on with my first thought being, that's not right.
The back wheel removal and service was an adventure.

Same thing here. Didn’t look right. Reviewed the manual, searched the web, and said a prayer. Took the wheel off, inspected everything, reassembled and reinstalled, looked the same when I finished. I felt good about double checking everything. Works great.

The first frustration for a first time wheel removal is if the flange decides it wants to stay with the final drive instead of separating with the wheel. If that happens put the axle back in without the spacer and brake plate, mate the wheel back up then get a screwdriver and under the drive there is a squarish hole. You can pry the flange out of the drive and make sure it is now mated to the wheel. Then remove the axle again and proceed. |

It's probably worth your while to stick a screwdriver in the 'rectangular slot' to start the rear wheel separation.  As long as you'e prying on the 5-star flange instead of the damper plate under the 5-star flange, the flange should remain on the wheel.  |

Has anyone tried leaving the rear axle in while separating the wheel from the pumpkin? Naturally, it's better to wedge the rear wheel up to pull pull out the rear axle after the separation. Then the wedges under the tire have to be removed to roll out the tire, an extra step.  |

but how did he get the 2 x 4's under the swingarm. I think that's keeping the swingarm and pumpkin elevated  |

Wow, that flange looks like it’s been way to long since the last service. Hard to tell but looks like significant wear as well |

Just wondering if the five shafts on the flange should be greased before reinserting. |

If you're leery of that dust cover you can post a pic here for opinions. You definitely want it on snug tight, as water getting up under it is not a good thing. |

The 2x4 and 6x8 lumber is only for safety, the weight is actually on the jack stand. I do have the left frame that I bought, attached, and the Belly Tank is resting on the lumber a little.

I took the wheel back off and refitted it twice and this is how it fits each time on my bike. I don't think I'd be able to get it any snugger than this though I might have to try again if members think it's not right. Despite any possible distortion on the pic the ridge on the wheel is the same all the way around such that the dust guard isn't at an angle.  |

Several folks who know what they’re talking about have told you already that it’s right. Still in doubt?
