rotors & fork seals
 

my right front fork is leaking, no burrs, no dirt visibly in the seals, so im guessing they are just worn out. 26k+ miles. i was thinkin of taking the forks to racetech since they are an hour away, either that or drop it off at the local dealer.

only problem is racetechs price (if i added right) is the same as the dealer price. the dealer i can drop it off, racetech i need to bring just the forks. i dont have a front stand, or rafters to hang the bike from, so how do you guys support the bike .

rotors
what do u guys think of these?
rotors

pick up a front stand, you wont regret it. (get a tripple tree stand if you're removing the forks obviously)

I usually dont trust after market parts that keep me from slamming into a wall at 80mph unless they are name brand or have seen first hand their performance. if they're trying to imitate wave rotors look, i can only imagine their priority wasnt on performance.

but still i doubt they're worse than a bad or warped oem rotor.

i figure as cheap as they are, someone has tryed em. mine are nearing the service limit, but i didnt want to be the guinea pig if some here has already tryed em and they suck lol

the way i see it, triple tree stand is last resort, hate to spend 150+ just to use it once and then sit in a corner

If you're going to take them to Racetech might as well have them revalve it too (unless you're already happy with how it is)

A-frame ladder + tie downs = suspend the front. WIN!

totally. I've done this quite a few times.

As mentioned already, an a frame ladder works great.

I always used Pro Action to rebuild my forks and shock every season on my dirt bikes. They are fast, very reasonable, and I was very happy with their quality of work. You are in So Cal right? Check them out.

put it up on the center stand and throw a jack on the skid plate

GSXR's don't have center stands. :wtfru:

how's that my problem?

It's not your problem, it's his but he was asking about his bike. :lol

no, he asked how we support our bikes, so I told him. It's not my fault if it doesnt work on his. :lol:

I use the force and levitate it.

I don't know what the bottom of you motor is like, but you can use a floor jack against the sidestand and it will be sturdy, just don't jack under the oil pan.

ladder idea is awesome, i knew i was missing something lol-hopefully my ladder is tall enough.

na i cant use the jack idea, i dont have bottom framerails.


no one has tryed or heard of someone whos tryed those rotors eh? im leaning towards no if i cant get firsthand exp,, but it could be a gd deal. tigs/al's fairings were so called "cheap chinese made" and his shit looks damn good.

they appear to do m/x only, but ill give em a call tomorrow and see what they say

thx

You should have a flat part on the bottom of your motor you could use, just don't use the oil pan.

not really, pipes in the way, cant get a decent grip.

See if you can borrow some stands or something. If you can afford to buy one, it's way worth it in the long run.

HF bike jack?
