2talltim Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Well almost didn't get the rotor bolts out(damn loctite) but I did and now have to order a new set of bolts. A least 4 of them I almost rounded out the hex hole. So went ahead installed the new rotors on the bike with the bolts that I didn't mess up and ordered an entire set of new ones and will replace them all when they get here. So the bike is back together and the rotors look sweet on it just can't ride it till I get the new bolts.

2talltim Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 BikeBandit os by far the fastest dor factory paets. Or a good dealer can call Kaw for you....Ordered them though partzilla for $25 ish with 2 day shipping. They were by far the cheapest. Oh, and...DumbasssUm Love You Too [emoji8] But the problem was when I took the one rotor off last week I replace the red loctite on it. What I didn't realize was the factory Loctite stayed pliable or rubbery and the regular Loctite crystallizes so that is a side I struggled to get off. New bolts come with OEM Loctite already applied. And if I'm not mistaken I think they recommend you change the bolts with rotors anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 The factory locker was red too. Different world over in Japan I guess.No, same world. That is why they tell you to get new bolts for that. You just got lucky the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) You just got lucky the first time.This is a understatment, I don't even want to think about the what if's if they were to strip out. I'd prob just looked for a used wheel. Edited September 22, 2015 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinNck1 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Riding a sport tourer for a day, and you will be sold. I rode a buddy's R6 the other day and told myself I will not buy another sport bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST's are scary fast, no one realizes it though.The VFR12 is plenty comfy and quick through the corners. Not to mention gobs of motor.
