I was installing my front wheel ass. and i noticed that they show in the 2000 m2 manual the larger of the two spacers on the right (rotor) side, it goes on the left side correct? or am i looking at it wrong??? BLAKE

I would say whichever way lines up your rotor dead center in the caliper is correct

You are correct -- the manual has the spacer shown backwards...

It's shown wrong in the manual, but you won't be able to install the wheel if the spacers aren't in the right places, so you really can't get it wrong.

I'm sure someone at Buell got an ass chewing for the mistake.

Ya think he was trying to say assy? Install front wheel would work just fine...but not as entertaining.
