My first attempt to do some wrench work on my R11RT has got me stumped. I pulled the rear wheel for the first time, and discovered that I'm missing the spacer ring off the drive unit (or so I think). At least that's what it appears to be. There is a raised area on the final drive about the shape of a spacer ring, but I tapped it a few times and it seems part of the drive. Not having any photos in the repair manual, I don't know if I'm missing something. Microfiche isn't much help. Is it possible the ring got left off when they put on the last tire 8K miles ago? Wouldn't the absence of a spacer ring be noticable in affecting the ride of the bike? Does the spacer ring normally pop off easily when you pull the wheel? Does the final dirve have a slightly raised area in the shape of a spacer ring?
Thanks in advance for any help.
