Tire change questions
Should I remove the rotors? I have a lot of room in the rear but up front I have two fairly large rotors and it might be easier to remove them. If I do, will I have to mount them the same exact way ? Should I flip/rotate them ? Will they warp and be unomountable afterward ?

When possible, keep everything the way it is. And no, you don't have to remove the rotors to get a tire changed. If you're changing your own tires, then you might consider removing them if you feel you may hit them.

I don't think I will hit them but things nearly never go as planned lol
Also, how do you guys feel about balancing on the bike ? My other idea was to put the wheel on to jacks and have it rest on the axle. What should I do? Maybe I could just do it on the bike though. I'm gonna duct tape them this time. I think my rear wheel threw a weight and it scratched up my wheel. Darn.

The jacks will be fine as long as you can level it out, I use 2 jack stands. Losing wheel weights happens, we duct tape them over at the track so they don't become bullets. Use pink duct tape lol, it's a good conversation starter.
