    Rear wheel, how tight? GS850L

    Hi,
    How much should the rear wheel of a GS850L spin while in neutral compared to the front?

    Thank you

    A lot less. Even in neutral, the rear wheel is connected to two pair of spiral bevel gears bathed in relatively heavy oil. I've seen reports of getting it to spin one whole revolution, but I never got mine to spin that easily. Maybe I'm just a wuss who can't spin it hard. I think I got something like less than half a turn.

      I got mine to go 1/2 turn using my foot.

      Thank you

        Yep, about 1/2 turn, if you push it hard enough.
