thanksEarlzach said:What do you want to know about your brakes.
If it is just pad replacement, just take the pads off use a c-clamp to push the pistons back into the caliper and put new pads on. Reasemble the rear end and press the brake peddel. If you never lost fliud you wont need fluid. There also is no need to bleed if you do it this way. You see if you have a good hydralic system with no leeks. as your pads wear your fluid goes down but when you replace your pads to get them over the disk you need to push the pistons back for clearence and the fuild goes back up into the res, So no need to bleed. It is simple to do.
haha.. sorry i forgot to mention that the reason i took the rear off was im getting a new tire on. :dthumb: oh and the drags are next fri.
and yes i will clean it today. btw what is that tool for??? ive got a chain cover that covers the whole top of the chainGas Man said:Bee don't be so harsh... :lol: It isn't that bad. I have seen WAY worse... but it does look like the swing arm could use a little brake clean and a rag...
And yes, you need one of these!
oh. well i dont have 22 bux to spend on that. i spent all my money on that damn tireEarlzach said:The tool Is a chain line up tool to ensure a straight chain..

ok i leave it like that :dthumb:Gas Man said:Buy that tool or try the string method that I'm not even going to begin to try to explain. That pic of the vortext sprocket is what happens when you combine a poorly installed chain and a bad rear tire alignment! Teeth are GONE!
$22 is cheap for a tool that is as usefull as it is!!!
I would say definately put it behind... in front would put it against the rotors! NOT GOOD!
just finish putting it all beck together. so far i love the pilot road. when i wear it in its goin to be awesome :dthumb:
yes. and you know what. i bent it trying to put it back in. :bonk: so now i need to get just that part on monGas Man said:So what's up with your chain? Does it have a removable master link?
i will keep that in mindGas Man said:Yeah those aren't any good either... I hate them. Don't mess aronud with non-suffiecient parts on your chain. The chain will come off at a very bad time and cause TONS of damage... take my word for it.
Lessons learned the hard way can really benifit the ignorant.
read up. i took off the tire to get it replacedjeeps84 said:So why did you remove the chain? :scratch:
haha. yes you do. well you dont have to remove it but you have to unhook it. the reason i took it off was i cleaned it with gas to get all the shiat offjeeps84 said:You don't have to remove the chain to remove the wheel.
thats the one that just came with the bike. i was thinking about doing that for my next chain. but read my last post and you will see why i took it offGas Man said:I think what Jeeps is saying is that you don't HAVE to remove it. It may have made the job easier for your POV but the need wasn't there. Plus you have to understand that most of use the replaceable links and no the removable master links. That is because they the replaceable ones are more reliable and stronger. With those you can't remove the chain w/o cutting it.
whats cheap. and do you have the plastic cover that goes over the small front sprocketSVupON1 said:WOW!!! That's alot of work ya did there! I wasted a brand new chain when I tore the SV apart. I just put a brand new chain on my SV when I went to the GAP earlier this year and I couldn't get the chain off, so I took a REALLY BIG chain and bolt cutter from work and cut it off. That chain was SO hard to break.
Oh and SperosSV650...I have a Suzuki SV650 service manual I'll sell you cheap. This is an actual suzuki manual and it helps SO much. I was able to tear my engine apart and put it back together..that's how well the manual helps.
do you have new sprockets and a chain
:dthumb:Gas Man said:Great deal there...
