    Recently I had a flat front tire, so I took the front wheel of to get a new one and two spacers fell out and I have no clue if I put them back in right. In order to get the rotor lined up with the caliber I determined that most likely both spacers go on the same side as the hand brake. But what I'm not sure is the both spacers are concave and I'm not sure which way the should face [],[[,]],][,]], any suggestions? I've looked at the manual diagram and it's pretty vague and it doesn't show two spacers so I'm even more confused.

    What model do you have?
    You can look up a parts diagram on
    yamahapartsnation.com and that should help out
    It should be from right to left (sitting on bike)on most models
    Axle goes though fork, then a spacer ,then seal, then bearing, then longer spacer ,then second bearing ,then speedo drive ,then though left fork ,then nut and cotter pin.
    If speedo drive is missing then someone has replaced it with a spacer , or the spacer is not original and PO has used two smaller ones .
    Or.... Post a picture may help us help you
