for the guys that have replaced their bearings:

i had a local dealer press out my bearings for me so i didnt see how they came out, i just have the used parts. in the shop manual, page 10-5, which includes the Adventure as well as the SD, it shows them working on the Adventure hub and there is an additional spacer, almost a washer (numbered 7 in the diagram) i assume that additional spacer is exclusive to the Adventure hub?, as all i have left is the the circlip, 1 seal (the other seal is on the sprocket carrier), 2 bearings, and the main spacer tube. is that right?

I seem to remember circlip, bearing, seal working outward.
It has been a while though. Memory is foggy.
I am almost certain that there is no spacer.

you are right. i went on KTMtwins.com and found a diagram for a SD wheel.

thank you for the confirmation

thats some kind of rear wheel spacer!
