You started a chop shop in your garage?

[Kham]

nah!

i didn't need the stinkin front thingie, whatchamacallit, to get the front wheel off. ima poor bastard.

[Jank]

Dude!!!
You took the front wheel off your 10 and put it on your car??
You mad man!!!

[Honclfibr]

Whyd'ja take the rotors off?

Warped?

[Honclfibr]

Wait a second, those aren't wave rotors

What gives?

[Kham]

yea they are rotor and they are wave.

i just took care of the recall rim just last week, had to remove rotors because the new rim don't come with it.

[Honclfibr]

Ahh ok, guess I just couldn't make out the waves from that angle.

What's this about a front rim recall, what's that all about?

Friggin krapasuckys

[Kham]

yea you got the krapsuckys too buddy.

[Honclfibr]

Sssh I tell everybody it's a honda

[Rice-rocket1]

Just make sure you use blue thread lock and torque them equally when you put them back on. But I'm sure you new that.... If you need the torque settings I can look them up for you in the shop manual....

[Kham]

thanks Jim, im all set. they make you use the new hardware w/ thread lockin on it. torque is 20ft/lb. but my tool is not calibrated. hehe..

The OE wheels are sourced from ENKEI -- an initial few were reported to be porous.

The recall "kit" is a complete rim, boxed with new rotor bolts & wheel weights.

a recall and YOU have to do the work, don't dealers take care of recalls free of charge?????????

[Kham]

good point. yea they do if i bring the bike to them but no way i leave my bike with them for a whole day unless it is absolutely necessary like bringing engine to them.

[GadgettR1]

ya really should get a front end stand....

[Kham]

alright i'll admit again. imma poor bastard. besides if you have something that works the same why spend money.

[OreoGaborio]

that's pretty much what i did when i took the whole front end off my bike down at VIR for Peter Kates... i had to bring him my forks AND tripple clamps... kinda tough to take those off w/ a conventional front stand, so w/ the help of Peter, Degsy & a couple jackstands we did pretty much the same thing you did, but put one jackstand on each side & closer to the front to make it a little more stable... one stand in the middle like that looks pretty sketchy. but if she held, she held

[GadgettR1]

You just have to be real careful doing it that way. A front end stand that uses a pin up in the neck is the best way to do it. I understand the whole not having money thing... but when you can if you plan on doing work on your own bike often you should think about one. ALOT less expensive than having the bike fall or scratching it up with a jack.

just my .02 or you could always borrow one....

[Kham]

yea plan on doing the work myself. actually i need to tighten up the steering. it's a little loose. not sure how to yet.

[OreoGaborio]

"loose" as in the front end jiggles a little?

[twrayinma]

"loose" as in the tire flew off when he did his last wheelie.

That's certainly a good indication.

Are we still talking about bikes?
