Installed a new rear cog and chain on my SFC this past weekend, and noted a washer on the ground, not far from the bike, when I was done. Now, I had a lot of tools and stuff out on the floor, and the cog was not he only job being done, but this was disconcerting, to say the least. The rear wheel does not appear to bind at all (has new greased up chain so action is not as loose as with run in chain), and when I removed the wheel I noted how tight the fit was, felt like spacing required the rear swingarm to be spread slightly. When I reinstalled went in fine, and now spacing appears correct...but still the matter of that washer, which fits the rear axle, by the way. Axle has, viewing from rear left to right, nut, washer, chain adjuster, rear brake mount, spacer, left side bearing, spacer, right side of wheel bearing, washer, left side carrier bearing, spacer, right side carrier bearing, right side chain adjuster, washer, right side nut. To be safe, anyone know of a part diagram of the rear SFC axle? Can find many of the rear SFC drum brake, but none of the SFC. By the way, 530 O ring chain clears engine case by a couple of hairs, and does not appear to rub, but is close enough that it likely will contact now and then. Will have to watch this, though it may machine itself to correct any clearance issues....
