Scrambler rear wheel nut torque
Posted: 04 Jun 2019 15:09
Hello,
I have changed the rear tyre on my Scrambler. The wheel was a complete bugger to get back in again, and the rear wheel was reluctant to turn. The caliper does not mount like the Corsaro and does not appear to have any way to detach from the bracket. Lining up the disc to the pads was not easy. I have ridden the bike and it is better but there is a strange noise which I am hoping is the disc running and not the wheel bearings. Of course, the wheel Speedo sensor is now playing up, too. I did the wheel nut up to 100Nm as per the Corsaro, manual but was wondering if this was too tight. Anybody any ideas, please? The rear wheel fitting is typical of a modern bike. Do not breakdown at night and need to remove the wheel. I suppose tubeless tyres help, but the manual is unhelpful. Most things are 'return to dealer' to fix. Are we all becoming hopeless at simple maintenance tasks, or are the asshole (rich, and getting richer) lawyers taking over the world?
