21" front wheel for the Super Tenere.

[Waspworks]

Are they still tubeless, Greg?

I am running with tubes F&R at the moment.
The rear is sealed for tubeless but both tires are tube type.
The front has no safety bead for tubeless and apparently there are no 21" rims available (aftermarket?) that are.

Woody's Stickers are Stuck...

Hey Woody.!!!

I did get to give the bike a partial wash today:

So, as promised - "stickers are hereby stuck"..

Even got a little "tramp stamp" on the rear end >

Did I mention:
I LOVE MY SILVERWHEELS

More to come..

Greg.

Preparing your WWW's SUPERLIGHT wheels for install.

As the title suggests, following is a pictorial on preparing your Woody's Wheel Work's SUPERLIGHT hub'd 21" front wheel, and OEM hub'd 18" rear wheel for installation.

* Unpack your beautiful new wheel set and install the discs and spacers and admire.. 8)

* Fit and balance your choice of tires.

* Remove the sensor ring from the OEM front wheel.

* and install into the new 21" wheel hub.

* Take to your OEM front wheel left hand ABS encoder cover plate with a file or linishing belt to remove the corner shown. It only needs about a 1mm X 45degree chamfer to clear the disc spacer bosses.
Note: This will only be required on fitting to the Woody's SUPERLIGHT hub wheel.

* Shows ABS encoder cover plate installed. Ready for fit-up.

* Remove the OEM 17" rear wheel from the bike, and remove the ABS encoder cover plate and the encoder ring.

* Remove the OEM rear disc rotor and rotor cover plate.

* Install both onto your new wheel.

* Fit the OEM original drive rubbers to the new hub and install wheel to bike.

* Now go ride the hell out of it and enjoy Full ABS/TCS like original.

Greg.

Fresh pics in the wild.

I managed to get some fresh pictures yesterday of the bike in the wild (or at least out doors).
I dont think I have posted any from a decent distance with the silver Woody's Wheel Work's ABS/TCS compatible 21"f/18"r wheel-set and the newly painted black fork-leg protectors yet.

I still havent managed to get out in the forest for a decent shake-down ride yet. We were scheduled to head out Sunday gone but I managed to pull a muscle in my chest on Saturday. Soon...

Greg.

stock sump guard?

It looks great!!! ::012:: ::012::

How it works??

 

[Epping]

Well done Greg. Looks really well balanced. Dare I say like it should have been built from the Factory. ::008::

............................

I had my son (6' x 100kg) roll the bike down the driveway, weight the front wheel, and slam the front brakes on to load the forks as much as possible, and we ended up using all but the last 32mm (1 1/4") of travel.
This was good enough for me as the last bit of travel would place the tire on about the same (or reducing) trajectory and would not get any closer to the bash plate.
That said, it is damn close now and would absolutely hit with a new tire.

Unfortunately the last pic is the one that I really wanted as clear as possible. As Murphy's Law would have it this turns out to be the shitty one.
You get the message though and can see that there is only a whisker in it.

Hi Greg I’m fitting the 21” front wheel in the Super T. It’s all tucked in!
The Yamaha specs said the front suspension is 190mm long. In that case the 21” wheel hit the head pipes.. did you had any problem with it?

In your previous post you ended up using all but the last 32mm (1 1/4") of travel, dou you think we can use more than this?
As you can see in my pics if we use all but the last 21mm the wheel is very close to the head pipes. I need to know this to modify the bash plate.
Also I like to know if it was any mechanical reason that you don't use the OEM fender?

I would appreciate your comments. Thanks!! ::003::

I’m still messing about the 21” front wheel.
Next week I’m going to be with ACD to see if they could modify the skid plate, I’m worried it could be difficult… :eek1
I fixed the Touratech skid plate and if I compressed the fork using all but the last 34mm the tire touch the plate.

Gdday, JaimeV, I to have fitted a 21' / 18' woody wheel works wheel set to my s10. AND I to found that the altrider bash plate contacted the front wheel when using a 606 knobby at full compression on the front. My solution was to straight down the front of the bash plate , directly behind the front wheel , and fold the top part of the plate back until it cleared the tyre. I had to pull the tops off the forks to allow the front to compress completely to measurer for clearance. then i filled the gap in the bash plate in with some 3mm alloy plate. This will put the metal of the bash plate almost up against the oil filter, but I have had no problems with that thus far. The clearance is very small but it appears to be enough.
Hope this helpshttp://s1247.beta.photobucket.com/user/camshttp://s1247.beta.photobucket.com/user/cams13666/media/DSC_5292.jpg.html?sort=3&o=513666/media/DSC_5297.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 these are the only photos i have of the modified bashplate.

I couldn't see this pics but i see the ones in the previous post.
Thanks!!
Your bike looks great with this two big wheels ::012::

Tomorrow I'm going yo try mine. I took off the ACD skid plate looking for some modifications to fi it (hope it can...) so I fixed the Touratech.

hi , i love the colour scheme of your bike.. Ill see if i can get some better pix of the bashplate mod. i use 606 dunlop tyre on the front for extreme dirt/sand use. and a heidenue k60 scout for longer distance that include tar work . ( better handling and wear than the full knobby) the rear set i am still working on , but the k60 scout is a very good allrounder. just lacks a little in heavy mud. anyway your bike looks a gem . cheers cams.

Hi guys.
At last! This weekend I could ride the ST with the 21 " front wheel.
It has become a fat enduro!!
If you like to do off road with this bike definitely worth making the investment, it's great!
By road the direction feels lighter, with less aplomb especially at high speed or high speed corners. In slow corners I almost like it better than the 19”.
In off road the change is incredible, the bike swallows all the bumps and in technical rides the improve is great.
Best of all is that between the increased diameter of the wheel and the rear suspension I have increased 3cm the ground clearance. ::012::
Now I can do trial with it! ::008::

I’m having a lot of work to fit this 21” front wheel in the bike… I need to modifying a lot the skid plate (not finish yet) and now I realized the tire touch slightly one of the pipes…probably is because the Metzeler Unicross witch is very high… did it happen to you?

 

[EricV]

Too bad about the skid plate. Perhaps it's time to visit Frank

Maybe some extra length will help...

Once it is finished the plate will be ok, I’m still working in it. Despite the hole that I had to do in front, the two sides with the angle braces in the front give great rigidity.
If the bars were longer I wouldn’t reach the floor, the problem is the suspension design, the wheel is very close to the engine. I will return to the TKC tire and I don’t think it could touch the exhaust. The Unicross is higher.

Once I am working in the plate I’m going to try a system that allows me to change the oil and filter without removing the plate…

JaimeV:

Very nice bike, however, I was wondering why don't you just buy a real dirt bike and use all your $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$ or EUROSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS to put gas in the S10 and enjoy the Japanese engineering as it comes in a complete package ? ::008:

An interesting point you have. : If a point is what you wanted to make ::024::..... the answer is; why not !!!. because we can ::009:: . and most of all because we just love to tinker in the shed when we cant go riding. for us who love to tinker , one of the most fun parts of adventure rider is to F%^k about for hours on end in the shed wasting huge amount of time on some tiny mod , then test it on a run somewhere , were, we find other like minded tinkers and stand about procrastinating about our last invention. this is the holy grail of adventure tinkering..... 8)
