The Clean Cardboard Test
- Also keeps spots off the concrete.
But what I really did was clean a set of carbs and install them with fresh spigots and thick mounting gaskets. So far so good - got rid totally of that break up at 4000 rpm. Almost happy with the idle at stop signs.
I have a rotating collection of about 15 sections of cardboard for just that purpose.View attachment 178447

After managing to pinch a rear tube on a rear tire change awhile back I gathered a couple more tubes to get on the front job first this time (ez) and then go back to fix the rear.

After using the big chrome spoons now a few times I must say going back to the small old simple motion pro dirt bike spoons for those last two pries on the bead was more familiar and "safer" feeling. Success on the Aluminum Takasago rim! I've shyed away from this style rim out of concern previously but they are doable.

Headed into the next SR500 rotor double disc set up...
Been looking for a set of tire irons. I’ll give these a try and get those rim protectors too.Machine, add a pair of Motion Pro rim protectors to your tire tool collection and rim damage worries will be a thing of the past. About $15 a pair but worth every penny .....
The best tire irons I've ever used are this set from Ken-Tool. Ken-Tool is a professional tire changing tool maker and you won't find much better......
