Front Brake, Rotor bolts rubbing, '07 250
After replacing the front tire and brake pads, i got everything back together and took it out for a ride. Everything seemed fine until i slowed down; I heard a grinding noise coming from the front wheel. After looking the rotor, I noticed some wear on the rotor bolts (1st pic) and the rotor side of the front brake assembly (2nd pic). I thought i got everything back together right, but there seems to be a little play in the wheel on the axle. I know i have the speedo in the right place, but can anyone tell me if theres something missing from the 3rd pic? am i missing a collar?

Welcome Evan!
You're missing a spacer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop riding until you find it and put it back on.

awesome! thank you. got that figured out. but now i have another problem, haha, which is where to get this part, as i absolutely cannot find it. im in a bind because i need to get back on my bike to get home. would a junkyard be a good place to look? would this same spacer be on all the 88-07 bikes? i found it online, but due to shipping would take 4-7 days and time is not on my side.
