Leftover part. Where does it go?

#1

Post by pd41044039 »

I recently took my newly acquired '81 naked Wing down to pretty much engine & frame. Fuel tank & carbs cleaned, new tires & brakes. When I got done, I had a spacer/washer, 2.6mm thick, 23.82 mm OD, 16.95 mm ID. Looks like it belongs on the rear axle, left side.
Problem is, I can't find it pictured in the parts books. I also wouldn't know where in the "stack" it should be, inside or outside the caliper arm.
There is already a larger washer/spacer between the axle head & the brake caliper arm.
Maybe a coincidence but as the bike is, the rear disc/pads "squeal" when the bike is rolled backwards & the rear brake is kinda spongy. (I've ridden it about 15 miles like that.) I'm thinking that the "missing?" spacer causes the caliper arm to be offset, making the pads contact the disc crookedly.
Does anybody know where this little spacer/washer belongs?
HELP!, please.

I do not see it on any of the drawings either. maybe something someone added for under the axle nut? Maybe one of our 1100 guys can shed some light?

I think the part labeled spacer in the drawing is what you may have. It's not real clear in this diagram but it goes onto the axle next to the rear brake caliper bracket. You can tell which side by the orientation of the caliper. This is in the brake section of the 1100 factory service manual.
