Anyone mounting wheels on 4/2 at Thunderbolt?
As the title of the thread implies, I want to ask if anyone will be available to mount a set of wheels with the tires already on them. I could do it at a shop around here but they really take advantage with the inflated prices and I don't want to get robbed with the towing expenses as well. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me out. The rear tires won't pass tech, so if someone was able to help, would I get a chance to check into tech later in the day or would the tires have to be changed before tech inspection?

The rims will need to be off the bike, then it is about $20 a wheel to have them changed.
No point in going to tech if your bike wont pass. Get it done then find a CR to tech it. John Last edited by JohnS; 03-14-2011 at 03:33 PM.

The NESBA tire service truck will be there....
if you need specific tires you should order them now or contact the shop and make sure they will have the tires you need on the truck...get to the track early and get your wheels to the truck swapped and back on your bike ASAP.... Tech is open at different intervals throught out the day...however only morning tech inspection is at a scheduled time all other Tech Inspections are handled on a as needed basis and as long as there is a person available to tech it... You could lose track time if you do not tech at the pre determined time.. Please do your best to be early and ready and we will help you as much as we can....

I think the wheels on the bike have tires that won't pass tech. He has a spare set of wheels with rubber on that set that will pass tech that he needs help putting on the bike. Is that correct? I assume you don't have stands for the bike? Post up with some more info: Does the bike have spools? I ask because there's some stands that only work with spools, so if you're needing to borrow stands, someone will need to know what type of stand is needed (a bike with spools or no spools). You'll want to invest in at least a couple of sockets...the ones for the front and rear axles. They can be very different sizes on different bikes. I'm sure someone will have sockets to remove things like the brake calipers and axle pinch bolts, but they may not have the specific sized sockets needed for your axles. Post up the year and model of the bike, maybe someone has those size sockets.
It's not a difficult task, you'll want to invest in the service manual and some basic tools and learn to do it.

thx onther6!
yeah you are correct my man. i have a spare set of wheels with relatively fresh rubber and i would like them to replace the wheels currently on the bike. i wonder if they could do it right before morning tech. Would the current wheels on the bike cost extra to take off?

There is no them, it is you. You need to do that or arrange to have it done at a shop or by some friends.

You may get some folks attending that day that will be kind enough to help you. But you'll need to supply the info I stated in my above post with regards to the type of stands needed and the axle socket sizes.

The rears are 32mm nuts. Not sure about the spool stands but I believe they may work according to the r6 forum i think people have been using them, but i'm not positive on that one. Can anyone with an 99-01 r6 chime in. They share the same parts manual so should be the same.
