So I have a 2020 r3 first bike I’m a new rider but not new to bikes 🏍 I had a few questions about changing out my sprockets and chain it’s a daily driver that I also go out and like having fun in would like to know what you recommend awesome vids I’ve done most of my mods with the help from your vids Gracias!!!
Question. Because I am truly special when it comes to being my own mechanic, I bled the brakes when I installed Braded lines while the caliper was off the bike 😓. So before I was putting the rear caliper back on, I pushed the piston all the way in. But, still, When the pads are in there and in place, when the wheel goes back on the pads are running against the rotor and there's no room. Literally the piston is all the way in and flush and still no room. Do I just need a new rear brake caliper? Don't know why it doesn't fit anymore.
You should never touch the brake pedal or lever when the caliper is off the bike. If the piston is all the way in and you are unable to slide the caliper over the rotor with the pads installed you need to verify you have the correct pads and rotor before you do anything else. Odds are the remedy for this will be simple in the end. Unfortunately this is not something I can solve for you over TH-cam comments. - Van
I couldn't find any info elsewhere on your bike build, I see you're running 120/70/17 Front , 150/60/17 Rear. Im curious on 120/70 vs 120/60 on the front , the latter is less out of spec, but also shorter, which they say can make the curve of the tire flatter, hence harder to initiate steering... Thoughts?
We have tried the 120 and 150 combo on the R3 as well as the 110 and 140 combo. IMO the 110 and 140 combo is the right set up for the R3 and the Ninja 400. We have a lot of time on both with Max. - Van
Does it matter if you put the rear axle in the other way, i see you inserted it in from the left to right, i installed it right to left wondering if its worth the effort to switch it around again? thanks
@@sportbiketrackgear do the o-rings really add that much weight/resistance? (I thought it was something more sophisticated. Not applicable for my street fighter build, oh well, thanks anyway.)
I have your videos playing in my ear while I'm working from home. The instructions are soothing!
At your service. - Van

One question, Do i really need a torque wrench to tighten them up? Cheers
If you feel like you have the ability to administer the proper amount of torque no reason to use the wrench. - Van

I flipped the axles on the R3 and the Ninja 400 so the axle nuts were both on the left side. It made changing tires all the time much easier. - Van
Hello sir. May i know what is the size of the wheel spacer for r3 version 1?
I am sorry I do not have the dimensions for this part. - Van
very interested in that rolling resistance mod you did. Is there a video of yours you could point me to for that? I cant find it :/
We installed a non oring 520 chain for track use only. They don't last as long but they spin much easier. - Van

Do you know how much that rear rotor weighs? It looks a lot lighter than the stock one.
I do not have a weight on it sorry. Lighter than stock by a little bit and looks much better IMO. - Van
