Yea, if you’re gonna do these things probably not a bad idea to have some spare parts lying around to minimize the time your bike is out of commission. I’d imagine a rear tire front wheel bearings, fork seals etc would be good to keep handy
Accelerate into it so the front end isn’t compressed, pull in clutch and let the revs climb basically to the redline probably and then quickly release clutch and be mentally prepared to completely ruin your bike if it goes wrong
You can wheelie that bike with stock gearing you’re just gonna have to be high in the rev range in first gear, probably even better to learn on something smaller. My bike goes to 12 o’clock real easy and if you’re not ready for that you’ll be cleaning your shorts
Everything I’ve ever got from TST has been exceptional fit and finish. Fender eliminators are pretty damn simple to make I don’t know why anyone buys them. I use the CAD method to create the base plate shape (cardboard aided design)
I had some streetcar tracks cause me to wipeout years ago, was coming east on college and torrential downpour started out of no where and some dbag in a bmw comes racing up the right lane and quickly changes into my lane and doesn’t see me and I went into the tracks to avoid him and ended up...
Have you tried calling the savage yards for a replacement? They sell the wheels whole, bearings rotors etc usually for a pretty good price. Try:
Oshawa cycle salvage
Zdeno cycle
Woodys cycle
Great places to look for a wheel
watch some YouTube videos before trying what you’re looking to do next time. Mistakes are good for learning, I break things all the time ? .. but mistakes can get expensive real fast
I have a set of battlax 120/70/zr17 & 180/55/zr17 worn out but good for a stunt bike. Free to whoever wants them. I will be in Toronto next week and can bring them with me.
You can use acetone or nail polish remover on a q-tip with the caliper off the rotor to clean the caliper pistons. Keep an eye on the fluid level in the reservoir if you’re moving the *cleaned* pistons back in so it doesn’t overflow
