disk conversion on ET3

[smallyshane]

Hi All,

Tried to get some info on this on other sites but didn't really get anywhere.. (sorry if youve seen and replied on other boards..)

I have an ET3 with PK forks and a PX disk, problem is that the other day I noticed grease on the front wheel so on further inspection noticed a gap of about 10/15mm between the forks and the hub back plate (the bit that the caliper mounts too)...

I noticed that Oz has a similar setup on that awsome rotax 50 special, so may be you have the answers Oz.. Should there be a spacer or something in this gap?

Seems a bit odd, as when I try to pull it flush with the forks the speedo worm almost falls into the hub, suggesting that the front hub plate (the bit with the disk on) is not fully home, but then it doesn't seem to want to go any further on....

Anyone know what bits I need for this type of conversion, and what order they go on...

For a starter that is..

Cheers

I've just looked at my P2 and a LML front end I've got lying and there's no washer/spacer there,just a rubber O-ring.

Best guess I've got is that your stub axle/fork link is knackered but that's a wild stab in the dark.

Perhaps if you can post up a picture of it we may get a better idea and be able to get closer to the cause of it.

So how do you add pics then?

[Juan]

Very simple when you know how.

Firstly take the picture and then open an account with photobucket,imageshack or someone similar.

After you've done that copy the URL(address of the picture) and paste inbetween the [/img] brackets that pop up when you select the 4th item from left on the bottom row of icons above the text box.

I don't think you can direct link from Yahoo but I'll give it a go.





As I guessed that's a buggered axle and link,I'd buy a new link unit and have it fitted to your forks.Unless I'm over looking something.

Nope,won't let you link from Yahoo right enough.
