I'm having one bitch of a time trying to get my forks to line up with the rear. Never had so much trouble doing this job with other bikes. No matter how careful I am, once I tighten everything back up and recheck its moved out of alignment. Has anyone else had this trouble with a Fazer or am I having a senior moment ??
Alignment between front and rear. Spindle seems to go in ok. I will have a look at it again as bik3rdude suggested and see if it possibly is a bent form problem.
put the front wheel the other way round with all spacers speedo etc and see if the allignment goes the other way so if it was 10mm to the right is it now 10mm to the leftim gonna guess you have had a new tyre fitted the wrong way and your going off the arrow on the tyreif someone can check i am sure the speedo sensor is ment to be on the left hand side, and also make sure that is located niceley in the lug on the fork(im gonna have to buy another fazer just to use for referance and photos [size=78%])[/size]

The speed sensor fits in to a much bigger gap on the left side of the wheel, in comparison to a small spacer on the right side.
