Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

ok guys in sydney... i needs to see if someone can loan me front and rear race stands (and rear spools kaneg im coming), so i can get some new hoops on the new motosickle...

i dont wanna have to fork out for some mechanic to do it so i figure i'd learn to take the front and rear wheels off (changed a rear on a drum brake bike) ...

i've also got new sprockets sitting on the coffee table and an RK chain in the mail so i figure i'll bung these on at the same time...sounds like i could have fun trying to get the front off...

anywho, help would be greatly appreciated...

cheers

Owen

sorry cant help. my rear stand is soldered to the correct size for the 10

The spools are different size for each bike... do you know what size you need?

my stands will be free after PI

my spools wont fit either i dont think.

but i have the flat thingies for my stands so you can get away without the spools.

not real close to you but

Universal rear stand picks it up from under the swingarm
Take the front sprocket nut off BEFORE removing the old chain / wheels

We've got a set of pickup spools you can use, and as long as we're not at PI or the track ourselves, you can use the stands.

You can drop by and do the sprocket change (but we don't have a rattle gun so it'll be done the old fashioned way)

guess i'll have to get some tyres from procycles then... all i have to figure out is the logistics of all this lol... thanks cath... no doubt u or dave will get a pm soon...

PM or phone Dave - I'm logging on intermittently, and only from work at the moment.
Unlike some lucky buggers, I'm not free yet

haha the last two weeks have been the slowest of my life but somehow time still escaped me!! you're almost done cath...

mate Dave maybe a little closer for you however if you need my stands are available after PI and the rear stand has under swing arm pick ups as well as spool pickups.

I also have stands you can have a lend of after the Island

Got a rear stand with universal or spool pickups you can borrow, mate.

Don't the wheels need to be balanced when you change tyres? Have you got the gear to do the changing and the balancing? If so I think your place is going to become fairly popular. For what it's worth, if you are changing both at the same time, some people will change the tyres for free. When I got my tyres changed, I think it cost me about $40 or so for both. Done while you wait. Let me know how you get on. I have tyres ready to be put on for Xmas EC.

i wont be fitting them myself... just putting the bike up on stands and taking the wheels in to get fitted and balanced...

bring on xmas..what tyres have u got?? im thinking corsa III, road attack or roadsmarts...
