Got some new rear bearings today,should I shim the axle so it is a tight fit in the bearings or leave it ? The axle is approx .005" smaller than the bearings but I can't see any wear on it.

Honda Atc110 1982

Thanks Brian

might be the wrong bearing. there shoudl not really be any play in the bearing and axel fitment. Talk about viberation and stress fractures!

i don't think i'd worry about it, if it gets any tighter it will b a real pain to put on...thats an eighth of a millimeter (1/8mm) 0.125mm))
