I have a 1998 sportster 1200 custom and my rear tire is off center to the right not matching up on the frame, i bought it used but dont know if he did work on it. Why could it be off center?

Lay down to the floor on the right side and watch under the frame(rear) for a black hose and a plug held by a Serflex.

twist and pull dont worry it wont break

There is a hose between the down tubes at he rear of the frame that looks is attached to the frame, it looks like it is sending fluid into the frame. It isn't, it is a nibble to attach the drain line to.

The only idea that i can come up with is that you dont have a good ground..or the guage was bad when you bought it..i hope this..Keith

2005 sportster custom will only run with choke on

I worked as a PDI @ riders in b'ham for a while and had to change a few rear wheels, the 1st thing is to deflate the tire then use a coat hanger wire that is strait. Place the wire @ the center of the axel bolt head and then following the swing arm up to the center of the swing arm bolt head, then use a zip tie to mark the coat hanger. Then move to the other side and check to seeif they are the same . They should be. Then move to the disc break and remove the calliper, do not remove the break line. Once you do this you can loosen the axel nut. I assume you have the back tire off the ground, so now you can move the wheel to the front and remove the drive belt. now you can remove the axel and drop the wheel down and out . do this opposit to put it back on remember to use your coat hanger to reset your tension on the drive belt , hope this was helpfull.

Hi .... manual states 30 front & 36 rear, I find 36 front & 40 rear good for single & two up riding. Tyre pressures are measured when cold.
