Yeah that spark plug trick was real nice, I was looking for something like it when I was removing my front wheel then saw on the forums that you can use the pinch bolts to hold the axle when re-tightening so you don't even need that specialty hex tool
Very nice video. I believe you ordered those tires online right ? I am planning to order my tires online but how do you make sure the manufacture date is not too old ? I talked to motorcycle superstore cust service and the guy told me I need to get the tires and look at it to know.
@wedginator even the dunlop, LP, maxima decals where off ebay??? all those together look great. I wanted to do something similar to mine but i feel like it would be tough and a steady hand would be needed.
@matt2peters Thanks. Yea, they all came in a set. Actually, it's quite easy to apply. I should do a tutorial on decal application someday, but I just used soapy water for a wet application. The soapy water allows the decal to be moved around for perfect positioning. Then squeegee the water out and the decal sticks in it's final position.
good video, but i recommend to use a torque wrench next time,it looks like you tightend the bolts to hard. The torque needed you can find on the net. Never tighten them with help of a pipe.
good tips I usually leave on caliper on as a guide when re installing the rim. I guess everyone has a system that works for them. So what kind of shoes you putting on the girl
hey great vid man, just to let you know, I have the same bike as you and i'm sure many other of your viewers/subs are looking at ur vids cuz they have the same bike and I know you try to make these vids general but I would recommend making them bike specific. I know that if I had a R1 or something I wouldn't watch ur channel because I would want to see work done on the same bike as me. Just an opinion of mine to hopefully improve ur channel, but again great vid!
