I’ve changed tires on my 2013 Stelvio NTX before, and I don’t recall having any issues. This time, however, I got it all back together, and the front wheel was bound, not turning. I loosened the axle pinch bolts and the axle nut, and it would turn fine. For this description, I’m going to call the ‘left’ side of the wheel being where my left hand would rest on the handlebars while mounted.
Looking at the 2nd pic below, the service manual advises to collect the spacer from the right side when removing the front wheel. That kinda contradicts the 1st pic from the parts catalog, which shows a spacer (#17) on the left side (by my definition of left), and no spacer at all on the other (ABS) side.
I’m confused. To begin with, I don’t believe I have a spacer on either side, and that doesn’t seem right. I wasn’t aware of any part falling out and rolling away, and I’ve searched the garage and the driveway pretty carefully. But, for whatever reason, I suspect I’m somehow missing the spacer (#17) on the left side. So, there is no spacer on the right (ABS) side?
