[QUOTE="Crash Cash, post: 397672, member: 6978"] Oh, SO exploitable! Anyway, this is the little piece of advice that nobody (including me) ever catches. If you use a lot of real tire lube, it doesn't seem to matter so much about how you do the rest of the stuff. And by lube, I don't mean a little bit of spritz with some soapy water or something, I mean the real bucket 'o petroleum lard from Auto-Zone. After that it goes from being a nightmare struggle ending up with scratched rims, to not being such a bad chore after all. It took me a long time to learn this. The funny part is NONE of the clerks had the SLIGHTEST clue what I was talking about! They all looked at me like I was speaking Martian except for the store manager, as he used to change tires himself. Sigh. And right now the front on the FJR is totally bald, waiting for a front stand to be delivered, so I guess it'll be the SV-650 all week. Well, considering I just put Race-Tech springs & Gold Valves in it, and did some carb work, that's not so bad after all. [/QUOTE]
