I’m pretty sure this guard is supposed to snug down on the spacer and not move am I correct? Axle Is not bound it moves freely through the forks. Had my correct make/model on the packaging, so what gives?

Are you tightening the big 22mm axle nut first before any of the 10mm pinch bolts? You need to do that to side load the bearings and spacers to hold it in position.

Yea sucking it down with the big axle nut to spec first per usual then pinch bolts and it still moves easily. Did they possibly give me the wrong bracket/spacer? I’m dumbfounded...

I had a problem with that damn thing too..Got it to fit on my '02 Yami with a bit of cutting..But I fitted one on a '99 KX which I had to grind down the stock spacer to snug up the guard..That's the only way the wheel would turn when tightened down..Dry
