    Are you anywhere in AZ? My guy pulls your wheel off your bike, tire off your rim, being extra careful not to scratch your rim, for 5$ each.

    Taking a tire off a wheel

    So I put the rear wheel back on, put the chain on, and lined it up in between the brake calipers, but it seems to be stuck. When I push the rear brake, there is no pressure and it doesn't move like it should. I looked back there and its tightened up around the rotor. How do I loosen it?

    When you get your tires done, how do you protect them?

    I'm reading that a lot of you take it to a shop rather than do it yourselves, but I've taken mine to a dealer before and when they changed my tires they scratched my rims. Is there a way you guys protect your rims? It seems like they can be very easily scratched. I heard some people take...

    Thinking of doing an oil change for the first time.

    I know how to remove the fairings, I don't know how to drain the oil, or change the filter. There is no information on how to do that.

    Thinking of doing an oil change for the first time.

    I've looked everywhere on the forums, google and YouTube and CANNOT find one step by step tutorial on how to do an oil change on a Gen 2 Busa. Is it in the service manual or something?

    Thinking of doing an oil change for the first time.
