Ok so i have another thread on here about my scooter shaking at 35mph. After some research and some very helpful members from the forums, I believe that I am missing a bushing or spacer on the rear axle. Does anyone else have this model a 2012? Just wondering if anyone has taken off the rear wheel and knows if there are supposed to be spacers and where they're located on either or both side of wheel maybe the length. My wheel is too far to the left so something is missing. Taking it apart tomorrow and would like something to compare to.... Even if you could just take some pics of the rear wheel and axle so I can see what its supposed to look like....
thanks

I believe there maybe TWO spacers one short and one long. May be your problem is your missing one of them.

There's variation on these things. My Bashan 2008 has just one spacer. Some have two, the older models had none. If you have a disc brake that might make a difference. Rich

is there a picture of how close the swing arm is to the wheel? I did get the original order number from the guy I bought it from and they are suppsed to look at the pictures and see if they can figure out what's missing and send me some replacement parts. The guy had purchased it from Deealinc. I just took off the wheel and everything, there was no spacer on drum side, there was a long spacer on the wheel side of swing arm and then there was another washer/spacer on the bolt side that was about 1/8" long/wide, looks like it was supposed to go on top of seal and bearings so bolt wouldn't tear it up... Here's pics...    After I took it all apart and put it back together, the bearings stopped squeaking and it's no where close to being as bouncy as it was... It still does but I think that is the wheel.... |

I can't find a pic from the back but on mine the inside hub of the wheel fits right up against the seal around the axle with no spacer. Then the collar spacer goes against the wheel, then the swingarm, then the bolt, some have a big washer. The swingarm is the collar distance away from the wheel. If you didn't have the right spacers the swingarm wouldn't tighten up on the collar. Make sure your swingarm is tight on the engine and that's how far away it should be from the wheel. Maybe you're overthinking this. Make sure you use some grease on all of the parts except the threads and lock nut. Clean them with brake cleaner before you tighten them up. Rich

Rich took everything apart and put it back together.... MOST of the shaking went away, I would say about 90% of it, and the squeaking from the bearings stopped... It rides a lot smoother, not sure what I did or maybe something was just loose... I am taking it apart again today to grease everything because I didn't do that, didn't have grease when I took it apart but getting it done today... I'm suposed to get a wheel sent to me under warranty I think that is what's causing the little bit of shaking that's left. As for as everything being off center, I have no clue.... All spacers are where they should be according to the place I got it from.... |

With my power max, I have a long spacer that goes on the back of the swing arm that attaches directly to the wheel, and then I have a short one that goes in the front right behind the nut.

I think that the plastics are just off center or something and that's why it looks off. If you look at the wheel and both shocks is the left shock closer to the wheel than the right one? |
