Default RE: ever pulled your front tire up?

Hi,

well it lifts pretty easily especially when you have some weight on back. I use topcase to ride with my photo equipment and its pretty heavy. So when i put my photo bag to topcase the front will rise even with 2nd gear. Same thing is when somebody sits on the backseat. well of course i have 16 on front I never used clutch to do wheelie the engine is powerful enough i think.

I THINK it was 17-41/42 depending where it was purchased.
16 on Kaska's bike is 1 below standard

Hey Pete!

Yes got a week vacation

just now i am changing the front bearings on cane and hoping to be be back on wheels before evening

The 16 is not stock i put it on because they did not happen to have 17 on the shop at the moment so i put 16 on and i like it

The military is ok, cant ride bike there and doesn't have quite much ladies but otherwise ok


good miles to everyone
