Guest Smidsy Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Have a nail through my back tyre, before I get busy with the spanners is there anything special about removing the wheel, cheers all... Link to post
Guest mikmcd Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Removal is straightforward if you follow the manual. Putting it back on is a bit of a balancing act getting everything lined up. Better if you can make it a two man job. I managed by myself but it was a bit of a struggle. (I hope you have centre or paddock stand and a torque wrench!) Link to post
michael 324 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 uhm, I've collected more than my fair share of sharp objects in my back tire….i've repeatedly used gooey worms (plus) with a great deal of success. Although I'm laying down on the ground to insert them, I don't have to remove the back tire. (I"m from the "if it holds air it's good enough for me," school of thought) I recognize others are from the "do it right and be worry free," school by using proper patches or mushroom plugs. Back to your question. Straight forward. Watch the rear brake calliper doesn't get out of shape before you re-install. Also, I tend to spend an inordinate amount of time obsessing about the alignment between the front and rear sprockets. If you don't have the fancy tool, eyeballing across the top of the chain and measuring the center-to-center of the axle and swing arm pivots usually sets my mind at ease. Link to post
Dunnster 1,650 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Having a read through the procedure, is it necessary to remove the rear wheel speed sensor?AKA the abs monitor. Link to post

Guest bonekicker Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Be careful with the sensor and ABS ring--the wheel is heavy so get a hand--just be careful --let us know how you get on--grease the spindle at same time Link to post

Guest bonekicker Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Mike do you grease your spindle regularly? Does the wife lend a hand? Link to post

No the wife is too heavy handed but she did hold the brake pedal down when I was tightening up my sprocket nut 1 Link to post
Rick 236 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Not a bad idea to clean and grease the wheel bearing seals as well, when the wheel is off. 1 Link to post
