Re: [ST] Loose rear wheel

[Dan Wolf <dan_wolf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Fred.
 
Problem is, it's the only Triumph dealer for a long ways (Erico Motorsports in Denver).
 
The nut was on properly and the clip was there too.  Everything normal, except the cone washer missing.  I'd think the person reassembling it would've given the wheel a little shake after tightening the nut just to check things.  Who knows, though.
 
I do have the socket, torque wrench, etc., and I've removed the wheel before, so that part is no big deal.  I took the nut off last night to try and find the problem and that's when I saw the cone washer wasn't there.

Dan,

Did you consider killing the ba.. that did that?
The conic washer is Triumph part for sure.

By any tremendous luke it could be the same as BMW.

In addition if they put the nut up side down(inner side out), the clip 
is also missing (part preventing the nut from getting loose)

I would be you I won't go back to this "mecanic" any more.

I suspect that if they did this way that's because they lost
the part.

The conic whasher is required to get the rim centered on the shaft.
The problem is that the needed socket is huge. But I would try to 
take it appart on my own buying the needed gear. 

As the rim is alloy and the shaft steel, the only damage that could be
would be on the rim. Double check it then. Regarding the bearings I don't
see any reason why. Plus the roller bearing (which is on the right side of the hub)
is pretty wide. Easy to check once the rim is back in place. 
Free rotation, and no play. No noise when
ilding on the center stand in first gear (except the chain).
