Front wheel bearing advice needed.
« on: August 14, 2016, 21:17:32 »
2013 Glee. About the change front wheel bearing and not sure which to seat first. The manual says left first then spacer then finally the right. I get that. But which is the left and right side? Text and diagram in manual seem to contradict (or it could be me)

So to make it easy for my simple mind do I put the speed sensor side in first or the other?

Thanks in advance.

Left and right are from the perspective of a rider seated on the bike.
Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s
