I am fairly new to this forum and I just purchased a 1999 K1200LT Icon with only 9,700 miles on it. In case some of you were wondering...Yes, I have tipped it at least 3x!
Anyway, I had my girlfriend on the back for a ride today. Before my ride, I turned the adjustment knob for the rear suspension to just about the half way mark - there was nothing in the trunks. After the ride, I was checking the rear tire pressure and noticed the tire had been rubbing on what looked like the inside of the rear arm. The rub stripe was about 3/4" wide and on the edge of the tread.
Do I need a hub spacer or something? There is very little clearance between the tire and the arm. There is no side play in the hub and everything seems to be running smooth. Do I need to have a firmer adjustment - like all the way to the maximum setting, for a pillion?
Thanks for the advice!
