R1150R rear wheel spacer?

[Bob Palin]

Just helped a visitor get a flat fixed, took his rear wheel off and there was no spacer - is that just an RT thing or was his missing?

Real OEM says yes, with integral anti lock brakes. I guess not, without.

Missing. All the R1150xx series are suppose to have it.

Odd. The R1150 has the brake disk mounted to the wheel, not to the rear drive like the R1100. I would think leaving the spacer shim out would cause serious disk to caliper mis-alignment.

Floating caliper in the rear will adjust to disk position. It's the ABS sensor that prevents removing the spacer. I guess it could be adjusted but unless you do so it rubs.

Weren't some folks removing those and claiming a cure to PTTR?

Only on the 1100, not 1150, for the above-mentioned reason.

Only ABS models have the spacer ring fitted.

Duh That makes sense. I should have thought about that before advertising my ignorance.

ALL cast wheels should have the spacer installed. ABS/non-ABS makes no difference.
