Kx500 front spindle don't fit!

Spindle is to far to the non caliper side any help would be great thanks!

Are all the bolts loose? Thread the axle in, get everything else on, then cycle the suspension. The right spacer fit the shoulder of the axle, not the fork.

The right spacer buts up to the axle shoulder. If it went over the shoulder it would probably fit

And fit kit shows 3 spacers mine only came with 2. Maybe they gave me the wrong ones?

On my CR500 mine were way to tight as well. I had a buddy machine them down by like .06" on each one.

in your photo, the left side spacer should not be visible. That is keeping your axle from threading in all the way. The left side of the spindle should just touch the nut on the left fork leg. Perhaps you got two right side spacers, or the spacers for a Kx450f? The right side spacer looks like the right width.

Will post a photo in a bit.

They must've sent the wrong right side spacer,thanks for all the help

The right (kickstart side) spacer looks ok, the left side (chain side) looks very wrong. In your photo the axle is about 5mm ofset to the kickstart side of the bike. It should thread in further.
