Rear wheel stand
« on: September 12, 2013, 12:57:33 PM »
Hello everyone,

I need to get a stand for my Empulse. I decided on a Pit Bull standard rear wheel stand. I also need to get the right spool for the bike. Does anyone know what the proper spool size is for Empulse? Thanks.

8 mm with 21 Nm of torque on a 6 mm wrench does the swingarm spool on mine.

10 mm with 36 Nm of torque on an 8 mm wrench does the front frame savers.

I used shogun spools for an sv650. They're 8mm and are made of slider material. Pretty durable.

I didn't use these, but they look like they'd grab the stand arms and self-center. They are also a good price.

Oh, and they're made in the USA if that matters.

I got the 8mm version of these:  http://www.revzilla.com/product/woodcraft-6mm-8mm-slider-spools

(Also the Pitbull stand is great; you made a good decision there)
