I took off the front wheel myself for the first time since I got my Busa (3.5 years!!) and was wondering whether the bit in the picture is meant to be smooth or if it's okay to have a slightly rough edge on it.
Forgive the lack of my technical wording here:
It's the right end (as shown) of the short bit of the axle that winds on to the long part of the axle. In this picture it looks like a thread, but I think it is meant to be smooth.

I replaced wheel bearings and seals and I would have thought the bit of the axle that makes contact with the seal should be smooth to keep water and junk out, but mine seemed to be worn.
What do people think? Is it okay to leave as it is or should I repalce it soon?
