Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
+1 Only one seal is blown but I wanted to start attempting stoppies but I'll wait til I replace the seal. I have no front brakes right now anyway - Ima order some new lines coz I crushed my old ones and I keep losing pressure. Its either that or the master but Ima start with the lines since one of them did get crushed and looks like ****.
Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
I told Neal to at least wait until the summer to swap the front end so he could attempt some endos, now he's back to square one with a trashed front end
Neal, actually, it may not be your lines. If you pump your brakes and get pressure, move your bike forward a few feet and see if that's all it takes to lose the pressure. If so, you may have bent your rotors.

Who are you Do you ride a 2 wheeler
See above asshoe lol But no I didnt check the master yet. Ima check out the rotors tomorrow.
Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
Neal, if you order the seals I can come over and help you get them done. They won't come out like my last kawi forks, I'm buying that stupid tool before wasting another night with that ****
Edit: In the mean time, wrap them up and keep that oil off your pads/rotors. Also, keep in mind it's better to do them sooner rather than later - later means you'll need new bushings and what not as well (which at that point it's almost cheaper to just buy a new set of forks). Also, if your rotors are bent I had a set, uh I dunno the term, but grinded I guess by a brakes shop once and they worked fine again. You don't have as much meat to work with on bike rotors, but it may be a good temporary fix

Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
good lookin holmes. I was actually thinking of buying that tool also just coz it would make life a lot easier. Just gotta see how much it costs coz I'm broke ready to live in your basement lmao. And Buckleup said if the rotors bent he could straighten it so that'll be worth a shot lol. And I know what you're talkin about with the grinding of the rotors too. Either way Ima order the seals tomorrow so I dont roll around MikeM status with no fluid for a year hahaha. Once they come in me you and Eric could tackle it. He's never done fork seals before he just told me so he wants to do it to see whats involved
I messed up a set of Leah's forks I did in the pitch dark once (she had some grime built up on the tubes that needed to be cleaned that I missed) and then of course the epic failure caused by those pita 07 forks. I have nightmares about that night
Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
From what I've heard, putting more/less or different weights is a good way to blow seals faster. I've experimented here and there and it seems to hold true, lol. My best results have came from just following the book.
Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
Cool cool. I'm going to sleep but Ima download the manual tomorrow if I dont have it. I think I dl one already but Im too lazy to look for it now

Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
Squirrels are a TON of work as a pet. My pitbulls are very protective of him too. When I try to shoo him away they get between us like they are guarding him (they don't get aggressive with me or bite, they just bark and stand in the way). It's crazy the instincts they have for family. Pitbulls are so loyal.
This little one is not mine but you get the idea...

Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
ive run up to 20 wt on the shitty 07 6r forks that i hated because they were too soft.
i believe there is 5wt in stockers.
i always like around 10wt
depends on what you like thou.
Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
Do you happen to have an extra collar for an 05-08 front kawi rim? Bought a mint rim and for whatever reason it came with no bearings.
Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
Re: Calling aLL NY stunters and stunteresses
******* retarded. I have a set of 03/04 bearings which look to be the same, I just need the damn spacer.
