Stupid ?s for Noobs/Mechanically Challenged

[Mr. SeXieR]

How can I make removing the stock grips on an SXR as painless as possible? And no, Im not buying a new pole til I break this one.

Your going to have to cut them off. Then cut the metal end caps off the bars to install different grips. Stock bars suck. Get new bars & grips at the same time.

 

[Mr. SeXieR]

Does it improve the steering that much better than 20$ grips? I was also thinking 0degrees would feel awkward since Im new to riding.

 

[Shonuff]

Leave your grips on the stock bars and go with Zero degree Star Bars with some badass ODI Yeti's.

Listen to Scorn, he is smarter than we.

 

[Scorn800]

Leave your grips on the stock bars and go with THREE degree Star Bars with some badass ODI Yeti's.

Listen to Scorn, he is smarter than we.

I second the 0 deg bars. You will get used to them before you know it.

 

[vitalikol]

try 0 deg bars and you will see how unnatural stocks are

 

[Mr. SeXieR]

So Im takin 1/2 of Shos advice, I like the Star Bars, but Blowsion has some white grips that just look sooooo nieece home slieece.....should I trash the stock bars? Are they worth anything? I also bought a heat gun to remove my factory stickers, I know to be careful with the heat and the razor blade, do ya'll know of any other problems I'm likely to encounter that I can head off now?

 

[Shonuff]

Keep the bars, someone might want them or you may break yours and need a quick fix.

Keep the stock graphics for now. A bare hull looks like hell. (to me)

 

[Mr. SeXieR]

Heres One, Is something missing from this picture?

I noticed there are "empty" threaded holes around the engine of the SXR. Am I missing something or are these there to enable aftermarket additions or maybe a bilge pump? Just seems strange to see empty holes. :sadwavey:

, do ya'll know of any other problems I'm likely to encounter that I can head off now?

You should be good for a while. If your not going to race, cut in some footholds immediately. They will also improve your riding dramatically.

 

[Mr. SeXieR]

Ya know I was just thinking that footholds and turf aughta be real helpful for carving or jumping. I like both, would any of the holds interfere with any future pipe upgrades?

[Moondance]

Not to go totally off topic...but what a cutie. I have had 4 weenie dogs & I absolutely love them.
Oh & yes, my last one loves beer.
OK - back on topic!!

 

[sflsurfrider]

[Mr. SeXieR]
