As someone with a long history of liking Kawasakis and disliking Hondas, it'll be fairly unsurprising that I do too. -- Champ We declare that the splendour of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.

To get the rear wheel out of my ZX10R, you need one socket. -- Champ We declare that the splendour of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.

Getting it back in is so much easier on a standard ZX10R if also you use a 6mm Allen key to remove the caliper from the mounting bracket. Three years of spannering Danny's ZX10R race bike taught me that much, and I realised just how much easier that made life during the second weekend racing with him. I only need a 27mm socket to get my Versys rear wheel out too. The front needs a 6mm Allen key, a 14mm Allen driver of some variety and a 12mm socket with wrench. -- Lozzo Versys 650 Tourer, CBR600F-W racebike in the making, TS250C, RD400F (somewhere) |
