Axle spacers for the KLR 650 rear wheel
FIG. Seven
Reassemble the inside spacer to the center of the cush drive. Grease is good. The Kawasaki KLR 650 cush drive will last many miles, and has a little bit of freeplay to cushion the final chain drive.
FIG. Eight
This inside spacer is usually hidden, but could fall out during the KLR 650 rear wheel removal process. I always do a reality check and make sure it is still in place and has plenty of grease.

Here is a tip to try. Remove the two bolts holding the rear brake caliper on the KLR 650, and let the caliper hang out of the way while reinstalling the rear wheel. Then reinstall the brake caliper, fitting the brake rotor between the brake pads by dropping the caliper onto the rotor. Don't try to fit the wheel to the caliper, if that makes sense. This was probably the first time saving thing I learned on my own , while changing tires on my new Kawasaki KLR 650.
By making sure the KLR 650 rear wheel spacers are all acounted for ,
you will not damage the swing arm and hub parts which could leave you stranded on the side of the trail.
Be careful , test ride the KLR 650 to make sure your braking system is working correctly. I had a little overspray of WD-40 and it took a while to scrub in both the brake pads and the new tires.
Keep the rubber side down.
