First, take careful note of the bits and pieces that come off when you pull out the axle: axle, right-side spacer, speedo drive, washer, crown nut and cotter pin. Reassemble it all in the same order, ensuring that the speedo drive meshes with the teeth in the wheel. | First, take careful note of the bits and pieces that come off when you pull out the axle: axle, right-side spacer, speedo drive, washer, crown nut and cotter pin.

The problem many people have is related to the rotational position of the speedo drive. The drive housing has two tabs on it, which are clearly meant to engage in two tabs molded into the lower fork housing. Unfortunately, the parts diagram doesn't really show this detail. If those tabs don't mesh correctly, extra pressure will be applied to the speedo drive housing, pressing it into the wheel. The extra friction should be quite noticeable. | The problem many people have is related to the rotational position of the speedo drive.
