Dpro 160 assembly troubles

[looneyboy89]

Hi, I just bought a DHZ DPro 160, got out
of the box/cage and started putting it together.
Got up to putting the front wheel on and am having
troubles with the axle.

The unthreaded end of the axle doesn't fit into the
hole in the forks. I've looked at the diagrams on DHZ
and it isn't helping.
Will post up photos if needed

Cheers, ben

have you tried the axle in the fork legs by it self.. ie; with no wheel.

i on occasions have had a small mark on axles which needed filing off..

 

[looneyboy89]

The threaded end of axle will but not the other end.same with the other fork

may sound stupid but are u putting it in the right side as they are often smaller on one side of the fork leg

 

[sean01]

check for burr's on the axle, file if needed

Make sure ur not using the dummy axle supplied that fixes the bike into the cage.
you may have to use a flat blade screw driver to open the hole up a little.

It's in the right side, according to the diagram on dhz site.
Ok I'll try with a screwdriver, the dummy axle used to hold the bike in place during shipping is too thin anyway, I did try using it lol.
Yeah I have tried with no wheel, I will try again tomorrow to say how I went, I'll post pictures up if it's still not working.

Chuck up a pic mate . And also remember to grease your axles when u get it to work

So I got in contact with dhz and sent them some pics, the axle that was supplied is for the crf 70 style bikes and are sending me a new axle tomorrow.

Gald its working now. You'll have to update us on how the bike goes when you get it going! Post some videos on youtube even? Make sure if you do post them you call the what the bike is actually called! lol (DHZ bike) ;D Cant wait till I get my DHZ DPRO 160!
