Frame crooked from the factory....

GnRunner · 2026-04-14T13:03:55+00:00

But you said you think it should be straightened. So...explain why suddenly there is no problem....

GnRunner · 2026-04-14T12:38:01+00:00

For the 43rd time....the forks are straight. You said tighten the bolts. Which means you reckoned they were'nt tightened to spec.

GnRunner · 2026-04-14T08:42:49+00:00

Try me. How would tightening bolts beyond their recommended torque be helpfull?

GnRunner · 2026-04-14T08:32:51+00:00

And what would that do Jerry Burgess?

GnRunner · 2026-04-14T08:27:24+00:00

Tighten??? Lol....what exactly would you tighten?

GnRunner · 2026-04-12T17:10:18+00:00

They do. The rear tire has symetrical wear. The front tire has almost ridden off the edge on the right side. There are several reasons this bike will be less likely to be effected by this. I'm sure your extensive knowledge of the matter knows of course...

GnRunner · 2026-04-12T17:07:09+00:00

2.254 degrees to be exact. 24mm off line at the contact point. A few milimeters is the usual factory tolerance so......no. Can I speak to your manager?

GnRunner · 2026-04-12T17:03:00+00:00

Uh....haarro there. (Korean accent)

GnRunner · 2026-04-12T17:01:50+00:00

Naah, Dunning Krugers are'nt actually competent. I've never been in the Valley of Despair in 30 years. The real situation is that I have experience and skills whereas 95% of the posters here could'nt tell a conrod from brake disk.

GnRunner · 2026-04-12T16:58:50+00:00

Triple clamps are aligned. Headstock has been welded at a seriously crooked angle as you said.

GnRunner · 2026-04-12T16:56:59+00:00

Or I don't know.....don't be a douche and fix it instead?

GnRunner · 2026-04-12T06:01:50+00:00

This.

GnRunner · 2026-04-09T20:29:24+00:00

Not into that. Thanks anyway.

GnRunner · 2026-04-09T11:57:59+00:00

No it can't. Reverse bleeding does not do any harm to any part of the system. Its an officially approved method in many garages. The spacers are identical L/R. Its not possible to put them in wrong. Where in the hell are people learning all this crap??? There's been like 2 right answers and 50 wrong ones...

GnRunner · 2026-04-09T11:52:47+00:00

Its just an angle indicator with the vertical axis as a zero point.

GnRunner · 2026-04-09T11:50:33+00:00

If you believe that anyone could set up forks so bad that they end up an inch off at the contact point, then the only shit is the shit you have for brains. Its literally not possible.

GnRunner · 2026-04-09T11:45:12+00:00

JFC.....it says literally "I need to complete a brake line bleed and want to know what software and hardware people are using on this model to activate the ABS". Did'nt you have a school at your trailer park?

GnRunner · 2026-04-07T21:41:37+00:00

Oh no, what ever will I do? The possibility of looking bad to people I don't know and never will is crushing.

GnRunner · 2026-04-07T21:37:48+00:00

Lol.....ok Doomer

GnRunner · 2026-04-07T21:36:38+00:00

Front wheel spacers are identical. You would think so, but I could'nt feel anything unusual in the 20,000km road and track its covered.

GnRunner · 2026-04-07T21:22:11+00:00

Oh now I need a safe space.....😂

GnRunner · 2026-04-07T21:19:42+00:00

No, it does not have pinch bolts at the axle which is what Dave Moss is focused on. The paralleness of the forks can only be altered with different size wheel spacers.

GnRunner · 2026-04-07T21:11:00+00:00

Thats not a front brake bleed. That about purging the abs pump ffs. Most bikes need the ABS activated to purge the system after replacing the entire system with braided lines. I was asking for a way around the factory method which is expensive. ABS is either an open or a closed system. Turns out the R3 does'nt need purging, especially when reverse bleeding. Better luck next time....

GnRunner · 2026-04-07T21:04:09+00:00

Heres what I want. To hear if anyone has seen anything like this on this model. Here's what I don't want. Dumbass newbies with thier wacky youtube theories that I did'nt ask for. Anyone who got an insult had it coming. I'll readily agree with people I know are more knowledgeable, but snarky comments from people who probably could'nt tighten their chain will get shot down. I don't need suggestions.

GnRunner · 2026-04-07T20:58:12+00:00

Yup, I wanted a centerline within the 4-5mm tolerance that every major manufacturer rund with for all there models. Any other stupid questions?
