Nemo Posted April 21, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 21, 2009 I don't have a 1 1/16" socket, but will a box end wrench work for removing the nut on the top on the triple tree. I haven't began the job of lowering the front on my '99 RSV yet, but I'm first lining up the proper tools. And also, I have a dumb question. Will a regular motorcycle jack work by itself or do I really need the adapter? Thank You! Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyDawg Posted April 21, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 21, 2009 Yes that's what I use. Actually I believe you will have to use the open end and turn it over to get enough room to loosen the nut. As for the MC jack, well to be honest I'm sure you could do it that way, but you will have to use blocks of wood to keep the jack off the parts of the engine that go below the frame. I highly recommend the Carbon One adapter, it's easy and once you get the jack in the right spot it is very stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted April 21, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 21, 2009 I use a pitbull motorcycle lift any time I have to raise my bike up. There is no better lift on the market....period. http://www.pitbullmotorcyclelifts.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
