Crash bar installation SW Motech bars

Funny you mention that!! I just finished up going over my Beta this morning for an upcoming Jimmy Lewis class. I did the normal service then put it up on the lift and found a bunch of loose bolts. I went so far as to safety wire my spokes. Stupid crap like loose battery terminals, spokes, subframe bolts, kickstand bolt, etc. I'm so happy I did this!! I have to admit I've been very lazy doing the basic "after race check" since I quite racing in 2007. I was never that good anyway. Never made it past a slow novice. It did take me more than a few minutes but well worth it. Thanks for the tip SHUMBA!

Wow, safety wire on spokes!!! OK for a dirt bike, not for high speed highway cruising

I gotcha!! This is on my Beta. I have broken quite a few spokes on this rim set. Since being re-laced they have held up well with no broken spokes. I'm still not sure whether I want to do this on my ST. I might when replace the rubber and before balancing the wheels. I'm a safety wire and zip tie fiend!!

Don't I wish!! LOL

No, I'm just a guy who uses a lot of zip ties and safety wire to keep stuff from falling off.
