Of course Roger is right with respect to the frame numbers which correctly determine the model year.
Best wishes,
Keith.

Hi Folks

Was about to take back wheel off, when I raised the wheel off the ground, I spotted the side to side movement was between the wheel and the swing arm, almost as if a shim was missing. Any ideas ?

Hi

It's difficult to see from your video but somethings not right, if the wheel nut on the sprocket side isn't loose I would take the wheel and sprocket off and compare to the diagram on the Draganfly site:

I've always been curious about this. Where there are two spindle washers, where do they go in relation to the FERC?

Hi Simon

I've fitted one washer under the head of the nut, another on the inside of the PRF and sandwiching the FERC between it and the 'spacer outside sprocket' (4233-56).

No guarantee that it's correct but it seems to work.

That makes sense. Mine are both outside the prf ATM, which doesn't make sense to me!

I would say 4233-56, Spacer Outside Sprocket is missing?

Hi

I think, if anything, 4233-56 is there but not clamping up on the short spindle, 4232-56, probably because a washer, 4234-56, is missing. Time will tell.
