zach45 Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 few questions...with the brake lines i put both the lines on the one nut comming from the rezzy? any other tips on adjusting the castor and chamber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washburn Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Just adjust them to 5/8ths set everything sit on it get the feel for it ride it around and reset if needed. Thats the thing with adjustable racing arms and shocks you need to put the time in adjusting them to get them to ride 100%. Way to many people just bolt them up set them once and go. If thats the case recs and no adjustments are the way to go cause its a waste of money having all of those options and not useing them to their full potential. I cant wait to ride mine but I know its going to be at least a month of tuning and adjusting before I get everything rite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a while but got it done! Where can I get a bleeder? Yea it was def starting to annoy me today.. I caliper where completely empty,bc i rebuilt them is that why it is taking so long bc the calipers have to fill up also.. I saw alot of bubble coming out while I was doing it..I didnt have to fill it that much, that was one of my concerns, felt like i wasnt getting anywhere..

Ride-Red Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 No need for a bleeder, get a large seringe or baster- fill it full of fluid, get some vacuum/fuel line hook it from the seringe to the caliper and squeeze it in and up to the rezivoir. Fool proof. To set the front end- get two identical framing squares. Measure the diameter of your tires with the outside shortside of the square starting from the outside corner and mark the overall diameter 18 - 22 inches and the center 9 - 11 inches. Yank the rims off and sit the bike on jack stands or equal height blocks and have someone your weight sit on it. Turn the squares over so the long ends are pointing in at each other and not out away from the sides. Line the center 9-11 inch mark up with the center of the spindle nut. Take a measurement across front of the bike ( the short side should be parallel to the ground crossing the 9 oclock and 3 oclock on the hub and the long sides parallel to the ground crossing in front of the bumper) mark one of the squares where the other one ends. Do the same thing for the back side measurement. the backside measurement should be 1/2" to 3/4" less then the front. Make sure your bars are straight before you even start- you will have to keep correcting the centering by making sure both squares have the same measurement from hub to center of bike. It takes 5 min once you get the knack. The camber is a matter of preference- I keep mine 1" in on top on my R. Careful with those Amer Stars- the threaded heims bend real easy, they wear quick and get sloppy and rattly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
