Oh wow what a job I’ve had getting the back wheel on. I bought captive wheel spacers to make the job easier. Seriously started to wonder if they were the wrong size because I could not get them inside the swingarm. Just as I thought it wouldn’t happen, it did! Not a job I’m looking forward to again!
Good stuff. Glad I found this second video. It is most helpful. Thank you. Observations: When you remove the brake caliper, are you removing any bolts or just slipping it up, off, and over? Do you remove the sprocket for ease of access for new rubber and to not damage any components? When you put the sprocket on, does the wheel and brake disc take any damage on the floor? When applying the all-purpose grease, did you even wipe your hands before handling the tire again? Grease can't be good on a tire. When you manually open up the brake pads with your fingers, does this require a bleed process or normal riding will reseat the break pads? That back wheel looks harder than the front. Rubber chock blocks will help keep the wheel in aligned and position while you feed through the rear axle. I am wondering why your 2014 calls for 94 ft lbs torque and mine calls for 95.9. I once read somewhere that someone said 95.9 was "too tight." I can't comment if there is any noticeable difference. But, I needed this video to help identify a possible warped brake rotor. Service Manual says anything over 0.3mm warp is out of standard. I measured 5mm and 6mm spots around the disc. So, I am sure that's the "dragging" noise I am hearing. Oh well. Time for new brake discs!! I got 36,768 miles on the stock OEM discs. Not bad.
That looks like a new torque wrench 🔧 how has that working out …? Would you recommend it ..?I’m in the market for a digital torque meter but is that torque wrench a solid tool 🤷🏻♂️ some of these torque wrenches break way too easy , I know they are delicate but I need one that’s I won’t break …lol
I’ve had it now for a couple years. It’s been working out great so far. It wasn’t terribly expensive either off of Amazon, but the torque wrenches that measure in the middle near a 100ft pounds aren’t that expensive. It’s the ones that measure smaller increments that are more costly because they have to be more precise. Anyway it’s great for axel nuts and I would say it’s safe down to about 30 foot pounds.
What ever that aftermarket clip-on spacer piece he spoke of is the key to getting the rear wheel on easier. It took me 4+hrs (with no stand) to jumble all those pieces together to fit/align just right!! 🤬
My ZX10r 2017 when the bike is on idle and a full throttle it the speed fluctuates it blinks and some show different speed qhat can be the problem the bike is on idle

The easiest fucking thing to ever do…. Takes less than 2 minutes.

Is it time to feature the triumph Ll?
Would be cool!
What do you think of the 08 ZX10r. ? I'm told it was the model before the throttled them back with the fuel control

Same process with 2021 zx10r abs?
