Repairing Bent Rim LIP? Vibrations?
2003 r6 15xxx kms
hey guys, i just noticed recently that the lip of my front rim is a bit bent. i dont kno how this happend. the only possiblilty i can think of is if i went over a pothole to fast. is there neway i can repair this myself? any suggestions? will this be a problem? is it safe to continue riding with this?
since then i have noticed a large increase in vibrations in the clip ons and pegs.
* yes i have synced thorttle bodies recently
also the engine bolt has come just a little loose recently as well. i kno this becuase my frame slider is able to turn in circles. compared to before it coudlnt.
im goign to do the following tmr.
tourque down engine bolts
tighten/tourque down bearings on front and rear wheel.
tighten barends.
what else should i check? thanks in advance

maybe you should try to have the rim balanced again...
maybe when you bent it you made it unbalanced.
how big of a dent is it???
do u got sum pics???

You cant torque wheels bearings cause they are pressed in. Try rebalancing the wheel. And its not something you can usually fix yourself. Theres a good chance you will crack the wheel attempting to do so. Wheel specialist can usually repair it for 40-80 bucks.
