good video,but I would recommend loosening the nut while the bike is still on the ground before raising it. especially for those of us that use centerstands or other types of bike lifts.
Do you have or could recommend a video on removing the rear wheel on a shaft driven bike? I have an 85 Yamaha Maxim 700 & can't seem to find any service manuals for it. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for posting this video Jay. It, too gave me enough confidence to take off my skirt and remove my own wheel. I now feel I have a much closer relationship with my bike now.
great vid - just one question, why bother to remove the brake caliper? will the brake disc(rotor) not slide out with the caliper still bolted in place? many thanks
removing the caliper(s) will help you tremendously on the re-installation of the wheel, and afford you opportunity to inspect brakes.
on the take off..the caliper is of no issue. when you're trying to reinstall the wheel is where it becomes an obstacle. removing the caliper allows the re installation of the wheels (axle) to go easy and then you can easily maneuver the caliper back on over the rotor. it's 2 simple bolts that will make the whole process so much smoother for a novice.
my goodness how many of these vid's dont cover the essential tip's .
the vid is good yet lacking. it is of upmost importance to remove the brake caliper first &. tie wrap it away from the wheel. it will make your reinstall sooo much easier.
for tech questions..facebook search "motorcycle atv wheel service greece ny". i am always happy to answer tech questions and provide help for the do it yourselfers.
You should try loading a vid instaed of trying to shoot down other efforts. Genius? more like selfless advertiser. Cheesy and no vids my your credible! gioelitemoron.
Good video. When you take off the rear wheel, are there any bolts that hold the rear brake caliper in place that need to be removed because I thought there were?
Dont forget you gotta loosen up the chain adjusters first, and if the bike has spacers gotta make sure you dont lose them and they go back in the right way.
rofl.... hahahHAHAHAHA lol i first read your comment and was "hmm maybe he says a joke later on..." but then outa no where!!!!.. easly get your nut OFF!!!!!!! rrooofflllmmmaaoooo!!!!
thank you very much... i come out to the garage today and my bike is sittin low on the rim! doh! So thank you for the tutorial... how hard do you have to crank it down when tightening the axle nut?
Nice video. I just did this a few days ago for the first time and followed pretty much this exact procedure (really the only way to do it). That's a good idea on using an empty pipe to use as a breaker bar. I had to muscle it because my ratchet is too small.
