i see you have a beadlock on the other side of the weights. i dont have a beadlock on the front. still may need to be balanced?????I went to Cycle Gear, they gave me some of their spoke weights that they don't use anymore. I slit some vacuum tube, put 2 pieces on 2 spokes and then slid the spoke weights down onto the vacuum tubes. I had balanced the wheel by putting a rod thru the axle hole and propping one end on the tailgate of my pick up. I can do 70mph with no shake.
im thinking my rim may be out a little. gonna check it satIf you go straight across from the rim lock to the other side of the wheel (or count 18 nipples either way), you'll see that the opposite side from the rim lock is half-way in between the weights and the air valve. My rim lock is 3 oz, the weights are 2 oz and the air valve with nut and metal cap is 1 oz. Also, see that I put the "light spot" mark on the D606 on the wheel weight. You might benefit from a balancing, might not, depends on the balance of your specific tire really..

not sure. tire looks fine. bigman seems to think i may have bent it a little off a jump that had a HARD landing. it looks like its bent some, i just need to check it. tooooo hot right now to mess with it. wish i could get the bike upstairs in my living room, but the staircase is NOT wide enough to ride it up the stairs.LMFAO>hey IRIDERED did you bang yer rim.?? or do you just need a good new tire on the front end.?? to go with yer new back tire....................
Well guys... Somewhere on some poorly maintained dirt road in Gonzales county I pressed the button on the computer and saw a funny number: 10003. I had just passed the 10,000 mile mark and appropriately on dirt. All I have to do now is add anther 0 to it and I get to buy another bike.
Thanks!!Great photos of the install, TJ. What engine temps were you running when you were using the 14/48 gearing? The hottest temps I have seen on my BRP was when riding the SHNF trails and they hit 250* a couple of times. Most of the time, though, they were around 230*. Congratulations on the new bambino.
Lordy, I know about that...a few years back I hit a black angus on a dirt road at night and totaled my truck. Meriden, we're at about 1000 feet higher in elevation than your ranch and it is a little cooler up here. Also, it is colder in the winter. It hit 100* for the first time this summer last Thursday and feels like it will do it again today. Talked with the Rman yesterday about getting together for a little shop work on Friday and about a ride with you and SilverBullet.Hey Agman,
Is it hot where you are? I spent half of Saturday riding and the other half mending fences. The cattle are getting through the water gaps since all the creeks are dry. Hitting a deer is nothing like hitting a brangus.
how many of you are still using the stock rear brake lite and plate holder.? i'm thinking about a PROCYCLE'S (WPS-XR) tail lite. $19.95 the reason is i'm trying to drop down the bike's weight on the back fender area.! any idea's or suggestion's .........lonnie...
Sorry, no clue...You got me on that one, Meriden. It is a 3.00-21 front tire and none of the BRP spec sheets list the width of the wheel. Tjrockit or Hancock might know.
I'll be around.
Hey what is the width of the front rim on a pig. The XC is 21"x1.6" and that seems a little narrow.
