Thanks for the video, I noticed you have after market rims on your rental, can you share with us your experience with factory rims vs other brands? I used to have a bike for buddies to fly in and ride with me, it's like they felt like superman, they would try anything and just toss bike into the ground, and went from finesse riders to bashers, I don't do that anymore. I'm sure rentals might share the same fate(and the stories you could tell about returned bikes). Having rentals, you know what will survive(and don't let a bike go to a OK RACE!!), lol. I have a front wheel that has to many taco's, I've been looking for a stock one for sale locally, but maybe a warp9 or a tusk would work too.
Brad Lu great question. I generally like oem stuff best for strength and weight. I git these Warp 9’s used foe cheap. They are pretty good but a little heavy. The inexpensive stuff is just that, inexpensive. But to have a spare set, I am a fan
A great way to have health issues later in life is to spray that brake cleaner on your hands and breath it in. Use soap and water with a long brissal brush and it's nice and clean and the brake cleaner doesn't make all of the finishes look old. If you MUST use brake cleaner, use rubber gloves and PPE for your breathing. This is really bad for you.
Absolutely no reason to pull the caliper off. You can change front and rear pads with no tools in less than 5 minutes. Just push against the caliper to get the piston in, pull the clips off with your fingers, slide the old pads out and slide the new pads in. This is exactly how the owners manual says to do it as well. Guess this guy never read it.
Keyboard warrior alert! I bet you never miss a moment to be a dick to someone . He took the caliper off to clean it dummy! I bet you would have caught that if you weren't the type that looks to be an asshole as soon as possible. Cheers!
This so far has been the most information I’ve been looking for, I’m really trying to work on my new Ktm
Awesome
I will find time to ride today thanks budd!!!great vid
Yes!!
Thanks for the info on brakes
I use the old pad between the channel locks and piston/pistons No risk of damage
Matt Clemons for sure. Either way, if you’re careful it’s no biggie

What are you riding: OCCRA ?? Were the front brakes still working?
It was the Oklahoma Gold Rush and yeah they were working but worn out
Gotta watch those seals when pushing them cylinders in. Can’t be too agressif bro and push them in easy!
Should say front brake pads. No need to take caliper off the rear.

Thanks. I know all of this and I just haven’t been able to get used to it b
200 hours? I’d say you got your money’s worth!
I know. Kind of surprised really

He stated several times that they were still muddy. He’s cleaning the caliper as well. Perfect reason to remove a caliper.
Thanks. I thought I mentioned that. And, it's never a bad idea to remove it and look at everything.
