flipping front tires

[byrnes]

when i flip my front tires what do i do exactly

 

[UniRacing]

Take off your tires,
Remove the hubs from the tires,
put them on the other side
Bolt them back up
Put tire back on

You now have 1 1/2" on both sides

with 05 u gotta do the short air thing or w.e the hell its called?

 

[byrnes]

so i actually have to take the tires off the rims?

 

[yb200]

with your 05 you will need short valve stems

 

[yb200]

take the lugs nuts off and take wheel off filp put it back on

No remove your hub from the rim,and put it on the front of the rim,bolt it back on,so the wheel is flipped?

absolutely not lol
just take the 4 bolts holding the rims on off and when you put the rim and tire back on the quad flip it around so the air nozzle or whatever the hell its called (the thing to fill up the air) is now on the inside, but seeing how you have an 03+ you'll have to get shorter nozzles b/c the stock ones will hit the disk breaks

can i put the left front on the right front? and still have it be sturdy

o okk thanks scor1a

Ahh... never thought of the valve stem rubbing disk brakes.

 

[sc0r1a]

yup it'll sit there and knock it every time it goes around. they sell shorter ones somewhere not sure
i couldn't think of what the valve stem was called besides the air fill thing lol

Sorry To Drag up a old Thread But Im gonna flip my front on both blaster. Will i need to change the valve stems? Id hate to have to dismount and remount the tires lol Any tip for a guy with a 96 and a 97 ?? Thanks guys

i don't thnk u will need new valve stems because u have drum front brakes, if u have haydraulic brakes u wiould need new stems

 

[4cfed]

i didnt have to put diff valve stems in on my 01 when i flipped the fronts

 

[yzrider]

unless it is newer than a 02 u just flip the rims and ur done.
