So the muffler has the two "arrow" points. Is the jacking point just the bottom of the can inbetween these points? Also I am using a rear stand and a basic car jack to lift it, the "lift" of the jack is maybe an inch or so wide (roughly) and somewhat pointy, do I just put a rag or something over it to prevent scratching? Does the fact that my pipe is a drummer matter in terms of jacking? Thanks! | ||

There's two jacking points; each 'arrow' is one. When on the side stand, the rear jacking point raises the rear tire, and the front jacking point raises the front. You want to use the front jack point. You can use a rag or a block of wood between the jack and the muffler, but make sure its stable when you start jacking it up so you don't have a motorcycle sized game of jenga. | ||

Thanks! Used a rag. Did a "test run" with both wheels, worked fine. Started removing rear and realized it wasnt as stable so decided to just take the rear in. Just installed the rear and jacked it up and removed the front. Taking front in now for its tire install, then wheel back, plastic parts back, retorque everything and its done! BT-016's look sexy, really excited to try them out on the street, and the track! Oh any tips on putting in new brake pads? My worry is that because the new pads have more material on them and are thicker that the rotor wont fit inbetween them when reinstalling the wheel. | ||

You have to push the brake pistons back into the caliper with a c-clamp when installing new pads. Do you have a shop manual? This stuff should be in there. | ||

Your going to push the brake caliper pistons back in before you install your new pads. This will solve any clearance issues with the front rotor. Really easy to do. You can use a paint scraper or screw driver. Really anything that fits can be used to push them all back in. | ||

Thanks... Decided to just put the wheel back and Ill get to the pads at another time... |
