I wonder how well some long heavy-duty cable ties would work.

I use the Optimate-4, with a cord extension and a cigarette adapter. That way I can just plug straight into the combo 12V/USB I have mounted on the handlebars and have no-fuss connecting and no-fuss battery maintenance. I use it on two bikes and if I switch back to the clip terminals I can...

Busybody net-copping is just another form of bullying. What you have done here is in no way morally superior to what he did. Somebody hired you to command people to "take lesson" and post only in ways you find acceptable? How tall a stump does one need to mount a horse that high?

Fixed that for you. Happy to help.

Maybe we should develop rear-facing shotguns with sensors that automatically fire a load of buckshot into cars about to rear-end us.... As someone who makes his living driving on the public roadways and has had ample opportunity to observe how little attention many drivers pay to what is going...

My torque wench is calibrated in n/m so I got that whole "equal but opposite" thing working for me. Seriously, if I were that uptight about it I wouldn't be mounting the "wrong" tires on it to begin with. But a 27mm socket won't throw me in the poor house so I'll try to have one by the next...

Putting a period on it. I did a search for NC700X and H-rated tires and got a trip down memory lane when it turned up this thread I started three years ago. Details are here: http://nc700-forum.com/forum/tire-tech-talk/4984-tires-fit-nc700-10.html#post173441 After three years of...

Irc rx-02 i did my first ever self tire change today. I've always just paid a shop to do it before, but since the shop refused to mount H rated ties onto a bike that came in wearing Z rated tires and since I'm sick and tired of paying through the nose to put Z rated tires on what is at best an...

That you are an idiot would be your inference,, not my implication. If I wanted to call you an idiot I wouldn't be coy about it. If your motorcycle ever sounds like a loom, you have gone about a hundred years too long between valve adjustments. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You have a citation for that? It's the exact same asinine thing my idiot friends used to say about Suzukis in the late 70s.... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Read the directions and do it the easy way. Or do like practically everybody here and use some combination of brawn and blasphemy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Next time you go to the store to buy a six-pack, grab a big bag of pretzels on the way out the door and tell them you think if you bought the beer you are entitled to the pretzels as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like that idea a whole lot better than the ether idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some people use ether (starter fluid, carb cleaner, etc) to seat the bead. Spray a little in the tire, set it alight, and let the explosion provide the rush of air pressure. You can find videos (of successes and failures) on YouTube. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I take it you have no use for the bike snobs who would sneer and say that makes it a "parts bin" design. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just did my first ever repair a couple of days ago. I had a tiny hole that could barely be seen by the naked eye and I had to use soapy water to find it at all. Man, I'm glad I bought that puncture repair kit last year! One of the few things that pays for itself the first time you use it. I...

I don't use it for lubrication for the simple reason the stuff is about 70-80% naphtha, which just evaporates into thin air. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
