rear wheel sideall wear.
11/18/06 at 16:04:09
I noticed today that the belt guard seems to be rubbing against my rear tire. I first suspected a low rear air pressure that doesn't seem to be the case. Its never happened in the past and the dunlop 404's were installed last summer. Any suggestions??

What size rear tire, and did you check belt alignment?

With the belt guard rubbing I would look to see if your new tire is wider. A little bit of size differance can cause this problem. Good Luck.

They are 404 dunlops. I didn't check the belt alignment yet as I adjusted it after the tire were installed. its only been a thousand miles.

It is wider than the IRC I had replaced. That was months ago. No problems till now.

If your sure it hasn't been rubbing till now then, have you checked to make sure the wheel hasn't gotten out of alienment a tad and causing it? With wider width it would take less to rub.

I hesitate to even post this not knowing miles/condition of your bike. But initially it sounds like the rear wheel bearing might be trashed. If the "easy stuff" doesn't provide a solution, I'd check that next.

middle bolt that holds the top belt cover was missing. while riding that missing bolt was causing some movement in the guard. My solution was to get rid of the belt guard. Just added weight IMHO.

How about the front bolt on the side rails, it is what usually rubs with a wide tire and is worse if you have saddle bag supports installed. Max
