This weekend we're doing some work on my buddy's 85 200x. We put a new rear shock and chain and sprockets on it. While it was apart, we decided to do the rear axle bearings too. I had a new set handy, so we put in the new ones with no problem.
After we had it all back together it occurred that there had been no spacer sleeve between the bearings. I looked in the manual and the diagram shows one.
My question is this: how much of a problem is this? We have been riding this machine for over a year with no problems, and although the bearings were bad, they weren't THAT bad. Do you guys think it's a big enough deal that we should take it all apart again? I was thinking we'd just forget it until we do the bearings again.
