Guys - You can't do what Kyle says in this video. I don't know where he gets his information from but he shouldn't discuss topics like wire wheel spoke torque, etc. without knowing exactly what he's talking about first. You can't just torque all spokes to the same value on a wire wheel! That's NOT how wire wheels work! Wonder why some spokes are not as tight as others on BRAND NEW BIKES??? It's because whoever built the wheels took time to adjust each spoke to where the wheel is 'true' and straight!! I'm amazed at the amount of disinformation out here.

I raced with my brother for 10+ years and the stuff you mentioned is right on. We didn't have a spoke torque wrench, which is trick, btw... so I would put the bikes on their stands and take a regular wrench and "ping" each spoke. They usually make a nice, uniform, high-pitch sound. If any had a low, dead sound to them, I would tighten them up, and vice versa (a spoke can be too tight). But your method is better. For the front axel, we would leave the bikes on their stands, losen bolds, spin the front wheel (fast) and stab the front brake. We would do that a few times, and re-tighten the bolts, while the front brake was still applied. That made sure the front wheel was aligned properly, and the caliper/pads were not dragging on the rotor. I'm so happy that your are encouraging people not to be scared (they should always be respectful and diligent) and go for it, no matter how old they are. I'm older know, have a wife and two kids... and I have the itch to go riding again. Keep the rubber side down.
@BijahD
@BijahD 4 года назад
With all due respect to Kyle, he shouldn't talk about things he's not fully informed on....you can NOT just willy nilly tighten or 'torque' wire wheels like that. When you build a wire wheel, you apply an initial torque to the spokes then the wheel has to be 'trued'. Some spokes have to be loosened while others have to be tightened to make the wheel true and straight. Why does he think for a minute that spokes on brand new wheels would need tightening or adjusting from the factory? That shows a real lack of command over fundamental mechanical knowledge and experience. Again, he should avoid topics he doesn't understand entirely. I've seen him do this from time to time and it's a bit disheartening....
@TheMadMagician87
@TheMadMagician87 3 года назад
​@@BijahD To the contrary, you true the wheel and then torque all spokes in a pattern, with the exact pattern/sequence you use depending on the spoke count. You go about a quarter turn at a time on any given spoke nipple and just keep going through the pattern until everything is torqued. This might introduce a tiny amount of lateral run out, but it's far better than aiming for perfectly true with some overtightened spokes and other very loose ones. Uniform spoke tension is what provides the structural strength of a spoked wheel. Dirt bike wheels aren't built to (nor require) particularly precise run out levels (generally 1.5-2mm). After the first two or three decent rides, everything settles. You true it again (if needed), torque again, and from there on out it's just regular maintenance, they don't tend to loosen a lot, but that's subject to a whole bunch of rider and riding variables.
@BijahD
@BijahD 3 года назад
@@TheMadMagician87 I agree with you - my general point is/was is that building a spoke wheel is not arbitrary. It's been many years since I've built them but I used to build them from piece parts on vintage Ferraris. What I remember doing is what I said. It was initial assembly then a process of tightening and truing (yes and sometimes loosening/re-tightening on vintage road wheels) to arrive at and acceptable wheel.
@TheMadMagician87
@TheMadMagician87 3 года назад
@@BijahD yep, fair enough. You are right in that it's definitely a bit more than just going through and arbitrarily tightening each spoke and then the next one after another, as that can definitely throw the whole show out of whack.

One sniggle: It’s best to adjust every third spoke or so instead of running straight around the wheel. Better yet, cross over. There are a lot of vids that cover it correctly. Safety tying the spokes at cross points avoids issues if you lose one.

Great vid Kyle! Something that helps me with a new bike is a track day. I don’t hardly ride tracks, but they help with dialing everything from foot lever positions to suspension tuning. You can do a lap, then pull over to your van/truck and makes quick change. Has been a lifesaver for me.

Very great advice! I went through my 2019 xc 300 and found a loose wire barb pulling out of an ecu connector, the cotter pin almost broke on my left foot peg pin, and if i so much as touched the kick starter lever it would start grinding. Dealer helped with the kickstarter and I easily took care of the rest. Good idea to get to know her before you ride her🤪

Greetings from the middle east! I'm getting home late fall and picking up my new-to-me Yammer WR250R - really enjoying your vids & can't WAIT to rip!

Another check (because the factory does poor on) is wheel bearings and suspension pivots. Have been away from bikes for 12yrs and just picked up a 2019 YZ250f and noticed Yamaha still puts the same NONsealed front bearings in AND they're not packed. Replace with sealed and pack those too! Oh, and moving in the perch along with lever in makes pulling the clutch WAY more easy too👍

Check amount of grease in head bearings, swing arm bearings, and wheel bearings......the factories are very Scotch with grease for some reason. Re-bleed brakes. Can't understand why everyone doesn't run pipe protection.....must have more money than I do. Good tips....good video. Make sure that the bike will get you home.....as it is said somewhere, "Be kind to the ass that bears thee." Walked home 20 miles in 90 degrees one time when I was young.....won't ever do that again. Motocross boots are hard to walk that far in.........think about it.......

@Rick Simpson Funny I don't hear this guy talking about the 4-stroke KTM's sucking valves.....seems that they are running titanium valves and they're not standing up to the gaff. Don't know why, if they're going to spend that much money, they don't run sodium-filled stainless like I had in my Ford 427 motors....they never die and the sodium melts, transfers the heat away from the seat and if you flow oil over the upper end of the valves it gets rid of it into the oil/oil cooler. I rode Husky's forever but they were 2-strokes and I didn't ever worry......always brought me home from deep in the dez....even when I didn't deserve it!
