  • did I just F up?

    In my haste to get the rubber on the road I think I mouted my conti motion front backwards. I know the arrow is direction of rotation correct? But h3ll, The backs was marked <--REAR--< and the front was >--FRONT--> so I put the arrow pointing forward(read from bottom of tire). Just wanted to double check with you guys before I go and flip it around.
    Tread pattern as sen from above should look like this:
    Rear >>>>> Front<<<<< Correct?

    When all else fails get a bigger hammer

    If thats the left rotor its mounted correctly, but your spokes say its the right rotor.

    The arrow points the direction the tire rotates, not to the front of the bike.
    90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

      Thats what I thought. Its what I get for being in a hurry. Saw the word "front" in the middle of the arrow and brain shut down for a minute. Oh well. At least it's not on the bike yet. Plus with the bike in the air it made oil change a snap.

          I did the same thing, trying to prove to myself that I could still put my tires on by hand. I forgot that the speedo drive is on the left side... Duh. So I had to do it twice. Hmmm. same conti tires you have, too! Weird, eh?
