NightHawk Lovers, Last year, about a week after I got a new tire for my '85 CB650SC, I got a fat screw in the tire the very next week. I removed that wheel, and replaced it with a spare wheel with an older tire. Then I took the wheel with the damaged tire to my dealer, and got a new tire for it. I stored the wheel with the new tire in the garage.
Today, I decided to replace my disk pads and put the wheel with the repaired tire back on the bike. But something strange happened. That wheel sits about 1/8 inch to the left of "centered" , so that the disk is not really centered in the caliper slot, and, in fact, it's so far off to the left, that the bolts of the disk rub the metal of the anti-dive support. So I went back to the other wheel. Now this is /really/ strange, since the repaired tire is on the same wheel that worked just fine before I took it off. The disks are on the correct side, and weren't removed by the dealer when the tire was replaced. I can't think of anything to do but put a washer between the speedometer gear housing and the fork to push it back to the right. Would anyone in this excellent group even venture a guess as to what might have happened?
