Hello,
Let me start off by thanking everyone on here for sharing their knowledge with people like me. :clapping: I don't post much but I'm on here all the time looking for answers and what I can do do my bike. I can't even count how many times I was stuck and got my questions answered by doing a simple search on this forum. I also got a good list of modifications that I have now decided to perform on my vmax, which brings me to my problem.
Is there a way to remove the steering stem from the bottom triple tree?
I have an 06 vmax that I'm trying to convert to USD and spend as little as possible. I'm using the front set up from 2005 ZX10 which I had laying around as a spare from my track bike. I have to resuse the original stem and that's when I ran into the problem with removing it :bang head:. I did the search on this forum but dind't find a clear answer. Somone said the steering stem is pressed in and pinned in so... I drilled the pin out already and applied some pressure on the press to try to remove it but it didn't even move :confused2: I guess I could cut the bottom away from the steering stem as last resort but I'd rather not ruin the bottom tree in case I need it for something else down the road.
Doean anyone know how I can remove the steering stem without ruining it? :th_help:
Thanks in advance.
Martin.
