Is the rotor put on the wheel correctly?

The rotor is sitting flush on the hub, and is true.

We don't care if it tells the truth all the time or not. Is it straight? Oh wait... That's a discriminatory question.... Is it completely flush with the mounting points?

I knew I would catch hell for saying it's true. Lol. Definitely flush. There's a possibility the rotor is not radially centered on the hub, although I'm having issues verifying without a bench to mount it to

Was the front wheel installed correctly..is there a spacer missing between wheel and fork...or one on wrong side? Is the wheel centered between forks?

Back to fixing this bugger on my own, dealers booked up through until next Tuesday.
I noticed
Yesterday I found a brand new bravo sitting ina parking lor and spent a minute or two eyeballing the spacer on the caliper side of the fork it looks noticeably smaller than my own.
I took a few measurements this morning.
Non caliper side: From the inner lip of the wheel to the fork: 1in
On the caliper side the same measurement is 1.25 in
The spacer itself is measuring 13/16
I'm going to call the dealer and do a bit of googling to see if I can confirm the proper size for the spacer.

Or you could use my favorite way of making it right... Pour gas on it and see how high it flies! LOL  |

Lol, if only it was that simple. Thankfully I can still ride it. I just don't like the idea of jerry-rigging a brand new bike. Whelp writing this post has me feeling motivated enough to fix/break this thing until it works, time to hit up the NEX for some more tools.  |

Not the NEX! Brah, you gotta take me shopping.
For those of you who don't know, the NEX is the Military Exchange here on our Island.
It has pretty much the lowest prices anywhere around. And living in Hawaii, prices are something we take very seriously.
