me and my bro pulled the axle outta our ds650 and a o-ring dropped out wen we pulled the axle outta the carrier. we have the new bearings and seals and are goin 2 put it back 2gether but have no idea where it goes, and we don't want to put it back together wrong, can anyone tell me where it goes?

 

I'm pretty sure I remember how all that goes together, but I don't want to tell you wrong, so I'll look at the diagram in the shop manual when I get home from work in the morning and hopefully post back tomorrow if I don't forget. I've messed with too many brands to keep them all straight in my head, so I always double check with the diagrams.
Sorry for the late response...

 

hightower, don't wrry bout it, i got it all figured out, there isn't an o-ring there, it was from somethin else, somebody set it on the axle carrier, and i pulled the axle out it must knocked it off, but thanx n e ways

 

Cool.
The Hondas have an real thin o-ring on each side of the axle, outside of the carrier, to keep water out of the spline, but I couldn't remember if the DS did or not.

So where exactly is "Hickville"?

 

The axle assembly has at least one o-ring that I can remember. I think it was in the piece that the big aluminum adjusting nut goes on. I distinctly remember pulling on that piece and it stuck on the groove for the circlip. The reason it stuck was an o-ring. Whip out that manual and help these guys

You know, now that you mention that I remember that too Mysteroid. Seems like the o-ring has the same purpose as the ones on the Honda - to keep water out of the spline. I'll check the book in the morning.

 

i don't actually live in "Hickville", i live in the middle of nowhere and its all farmers out here,

 

Hickville sounds a lot like Greencastle.
Sorry, but I didn't get to look anything up this morning - 14 hour shift and then I had to mow the lawn, so I forgot all about it. I will though, hopefully this next morning.

 

its ok, i understand, but i put it back together already, and she flys now

 

and hickville isn't actually a place, its just wat i call where i live
