    Was the bike together before you started with the springs?

    After writing all the stuff above about spreading forks at the bottom, I looked at my bike and it does have a funky spacer on the left side..

    When the axle is inserted correctly, the right side view of the axle should be like this:

    It's always a crapshoot. I am reworking a 2001 WR360 and the steering stem is the larger CR250 size. I 'know' this bike is like it came from the dealer, the guy I got it from bought it new. I still have the new WR Timken bearings if anyone needs them! I've had three sets of 50mm Marzocchi forks that I interchanged in my 'stash' of wheel spacers when they grooved more than I liked. The stash consisted of spacers ordered for my WR250s with 45mm Zokes. In the pic with the wheel on it, your axle is too long if it's bottomed as I described earlier. Did your disk line up in that pic. The second pic without the wheel is invalid without the axle sliding all of the way through the right fork... Does it have the axle pull on it preventing that action? I've had 4 CR125s, 4 WR250s, 1 CR250, WR125, TE450, TC250, TE250, TXC250 and only had the problem you have one time. Now that I think of that again, I ground off the axle pull on one and that could be the deal... shouldn't be, but who knows. You'll get it worked out! Ride safe.

    My 08 Open Chamber 45s were awesome, 09 Twin Chamber 50s not so awesome.

    Just a update on what was done to correct the problem. Axle was shortened by 1/8 of a inch. A new spacer was made that was 30 thousands wider and 1/8 inch was added to the shoulder side of the axle. The rotor now is in the center of the caliper bracket and there is no play any place. Hats off to my friend Don who has the ability to make stuff happen no matter what. image.jpg
