I took the front wheel off to replace the tire.
Upon reinstallation I ran into a problem
I'm having difficulty reinserting the axle back into the forks.
Putting the tire aside I try to push the axle through the forks for proper fitment. This is when I discovered clutch side fork leg hangs low.
I resolved the issue by loosening the fender bolts, and loosening the upper and lower triple tree pinch bolts on clutch side. I raised the fork 1/4". Now the axle smoothly goes into place. I retightened the tree pinch bolts and reinstalled the tire. But the height of the forks on top the triple tree is uneven.
Also, at this time I also changed the front brake pads.
I spin the tire by hand and no rubbing occurs. I'm thinking to myself this is good.
I haven't ridden the bike yet because I'm skeptical about the clutch side fork being raised up a 1/4"?
any thought?
