my brand new rim and tire set up was going great until today. i dont have a torque wrench so i just bolt them down to what i think is good and i check them from time to time. today i forgot to check them. when the bike started wobbling on one side i jumped off and looked at the rim. totally fucked. the hub fucked. its fucked. i cant believe i did this because i was just reading about it happening to someone else. so now i gotta get a new rim and a new hub. at least its only one and not all of them. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR BOLTS!!!!!!
Youll have to send your shock somewhere to get it serviced. Sending it to Elka or TCS or any other company like that is a good idea. If youre anywhere near Sandy theres a race tech center there. I took my dirt bike suspension to the race tech here in atlanta and its awesome now.
youve gotta buy a spring compresser if you want to go with a stiffer spring and do it yourself.. it might just be cheaper to get it done by a local shop.
check to make sure your stator is all in order. the flywheel is tight, the timing is correct, the woodruff key, etc... shit goes wrong if that isnt correct. also unplugging the spark inhibitor.
yeah. check your gas. i dont understand how even when there is a little bit of gas left in the tank it dies. i would think it would run fine until ALL the gas was gone. i actually coasted back to my truck one time. got really lucky. wouldve been a sucky push.
check your compression too.
unless you put the plastics on it. so basically. take a warrior. replace the frame, engine and plastics with banshee parts and then it will be fast and look good.
i was in my freshman year. wasnt at school though. i turned on the tv and it was the first thing i saw when i woke up. it was pretty gay to wake up to that.
