Re: Things to check after stoppies

check seals, base, all the bolts from axle all the way up to top triple. Make sure everything tight to spec. replace brake fluid, check pads/rotor.

Sounds like your steering head bearings.

Re: Things to check after stoppies

as much as people **** on R6s ive never really had any problems but it would make such a good video clip if my frame did fold in half but i just checked and my lower triple tree was a little loose not much though and so werent the bolts on the bottem of the forks... now time to go ride and see whats changed...

thanks James

Re: Things to check after stoppies

I have a click in my front end on my R6 also. I used to work at a mall and have no Lo-Jack, so I had one of those metal U-brackets that have a padlock that slips onto it. Always ran it between my front brake rotors. One time, clocked out and hopped on the bike. Couple girls were walkin out, so I hopped on pretty quick and took off. Got about 2 inches, front wheel jammed, and I went down LOL. Forgot that I had that damned thing on. Put a little kink on the inside trim of my rotor so it clicks slightly when maneuvering the bike on foot. Doesn't help much, but yeah

you need 2 spanner wrenchs,tighten the bottom one(leave wrench on and hold it tight) then lock it in place with the top one.
