Rear axle seal/collar???

[Susan G. A. Harbison]

Hey there! We own a 2007 Vmax. We recently got new tires and noticed something wasn't right when we put the rear wheel back on. When we torqued to spec, the rear wheel would NOT spin. We finally, after much research and discussion, deduced that we are missing what some people call a washer, a spacer, a collar- but don't know exactly what it is or how to find it. We were told we shouldn't ride without it, but the bike feels fine. Can anyone help with the name or number of this part and possibly where to find it??? It's on the right side, has a small lip that helps it fit right into the wheel before installing the brake caliper bracket. Please help!!

Have a look at the arrangement on the parts fiche which should help.

It is part number 2H7 25315 00. Number 2 on the diagram above. Without it the wheel locks up as you say...

It might #15?

The OP didn't say they replaced the bearings.

 

[Stephan]

#15 is 93106 42007 which is an oil seal...

#15 is 93106 42007 which is an oil seal...

You are right. Sorry.

I was wondering how #2 would be missing if the bearings were not removed.

Believe me.....we have looked and looked and looked at this diagram....

This is what we have deduced it is....only problem. It's on back order everywhere it seems like.. and we were told we shouldn't ride without it or something there in it's place...can anyone corroborate that or give me any information. We lessened the torque and the tire spins now

Can we assume that you have all of the components shown on the parts list.
If no I wouldn't be inclined to use the bike until you have a full compliment.

If you do try searching 'Axle torque' and you will find various discussions on the subject.
You will see that others have had a similar issue and have used a lower torque setting.
If you choose to do this I would also mark the nut and s. arm to see if the nut starts to loosen.
