im going to build my first bike and im wanting to know what i will need to complete the build as far as tools go...thanks for any info.
Yes I agree watch the amount of pressure you use when putting on the nuts.Most stock studs & bolts are 10mm and I believe the tensioner bolts are a 14mm.Before you take it for a ride,recheck all of the hardware,head bolts etc. just to be safe.Good luck with your first build!Howdy Mac. I am sure I will forget some thing but some one will help us both out. I am guessing your mounting a 2 stroke kit? At least one 10MM wrench. A second one that ratchets will save you a lot of hair pulling. A chain breaker Or a good sized hammer, nail and a punch will also work but is a pain. Screwdrivers. For the life of me, I can not remember what size nuts are on the tensioner and tank. There are a few more. After a nap I might know what they are. lol
Seems the most common mistake we all make during first builds is over tightening.
post lots of pics!
Use the blue locktite...the red will require heat on small fasteners: in the event you need to remove them.i have a good assortment of tools already...im an electrician by trade ,but no bike specific tools...ive been searching the threads and i will basically need metric wrenchs and allens based on what ive been told so far......thanks to everyone for all the advice,this a really helpful community as far as loctite...is the red the one to use?...or blue?
The sprocket adapter and sprocket will definitely help with ease of assembly, and offer a far superior finished product in terms of vibration and maintenance. The engine mount offers ease of assembly, and enough vibration isolation to prevent frame cracking.thanks jim...i checked out your website and im interested in the motor mount and sproket and mount...i have a delmar...will these items help as far as ease and final finish quality?
