I feel stupid for asking this, but is the axle nut supposed to be tight AGAINST the brake rotor? I was riding the other day when I noticed the exposed threads(Axle nut is to the right of the rotor about a quarter inch). I have had the quad(400 EX) for about 2.5 months and can't recall if it was like that or not. I tried doing a search and one post said it was supposed to be tight against the rotor, like I had guessed, then the other one said it should be adjusted as far as possible to the right, away from the rotor???

That's normal. The nut itself is tightened against the c-clip and pushes the threaded sleeve against the hub.
