So I got those Pirelli tires for my scooter. A local motorcycle shop changed them for me and I picked them up this afternoon, and they look real good.
The problem I have is that a little while after I picked them up the shop called me to say that I they thought I had left a spacer there. I told them I didn't think so, but they said that my scooter was the only small bike they had worked on all week and by the size of this spacer it must be mine. They left it outside the shop for me and I'm going to pick it up tomorrow (Saturday).
The thing is, in looking at the service manual diagrams, the only spacer I see is on the front wheel between the brake disc and the wheel, and I don't think that they would have had to take the brake disc off to change the tire. You might wonder why I just don't ask them if they took off the brake disc, and I would do that, except:
- they are closed on Saturdays
- they are going to Sturgis next week and will be closed until the 14th!
So right now I don't know what to do! I tried real quick to see if that brake disk could come off easily, and it can't. I think I would actually strip the allen bolt heads if I tried to loosen them. So either the shop took them out and put them back in with who-knows-what, or they haven't been loosened any time recently. I really can't tell.
Does anyone have any idea what this space could be, and where it could have come from? I know when I took the rear wheel there was just a washer and a nut. When I did the front wheel I tapped out the axle and when I could slide the wheel out I pulled off the speedo thing and that was it. I don't remember any other parts besides the axle, a washer, and a nut.
I am really desperate for info on this!
Thanks,
Paul
