What could possibly be 'shot' with your wheels? I can't see any rim dents on the RH sides.
look straight back at the rear tire in the same plane as the swing arm you will see the slight bend from a major bend it was.
idk what happened while it was in my brothers possession and then set in the barn 12 years. Just one thing for certain was the huge amounts of owl poop ruined the tank, but-no mice touched my lot.
The tires were stuck on the rims.
I spent over an hour on my manual tire machine trying to get the old tire broke loose.
After breaking loose the old rear tire, I noticed a huge bend in the right side of the rim, I did message it back the best I could.
Moving on to point, the rim strip was missing the tube stem was corroded onto the rim as well as the nipples were all oxidized.
I did take a medium wire wheel to it and cleaned it up.
I don’t like it but the Kawasaki shop did manage to mount it back up with a new tube and balanced them for me.
I should’ve taken pictures.
But I didn’t I was gassed and angry. After managing to get the rim cleaned off of old rubber and oxidation and amassage on the bend. I installed the new rim strip, 705 and tube in I managed to pinch it.
So now to the front.
Rim spokes and nipples are good, the hub is jacked up.
At some point during the past out of my possession the Speedo gear failed galling the hub and running the assembly.
I am going trail tech at any rate eventually, but that explains the non functional speedo.
So, someone I know has his old spare stock gen 1 wheels for sale and I snagged them up.
He listed them in October and no one wanted them for 100
Well until I saw the listing and realized who it was and told him I’d take ‘em.
