Installing the BTS

Post by **joemzl** » Tuesday 4 March 2008, 9:50

Hi outthere,
my BTS just arrived from XXL (freecarve.de).

Looks fine, but I wonder how to install.
It´s said: drive out the pin of the boot with the knurled end first.

But where is the knurled end?
I could try, but I fear to damage perhaps. Who knows how to install the BTS for Suzukas?

Push the pin a little so that it sticks out say 1/3 mm. Check if at the end where it sticks out you see knurls or not. If yes, then keep on pushing the same direction. If not, then push it from the opposite side.

Cheers

As far as I remeber, the kurdeled end was facing outer side...

Yes, you are right

my memory still fresh, i installed BTS a months before, i beat the pin from internal side. 2-3 good kicks were enough to get it out. But i have Indy

do not think there is a major difference, but if any - first advice is useful

Ok guys - work is done with a broken thrill.
The right tip came from - Istvan.

The knurled end was on the left side of each boot.

Glad that I could help you, but what is a "thrill" in this context? Cheers

Oh, what a mistake

I meant a drill
