How to Remove and Replace a Rear Motorcycle Wheel (Part 2)

[SVWim]

I have an easier way to do that. Use a piece of wood under the rear wheel en it`s going a lot easier !!

@Sindretonnesen Use a giant flat screwdriver to spread the pads apart.

Hmm.. Is this the same for like a motorcycle with a 50cc? Because I've got a Jincheng Dax and it looks like it has like a whole bunch more things I need to get loose :/ Any help? I've tried looking for a vid but unfortunatly :/

[BoefjePeter]

[YO3chill]

I have a question ,im looking to buy my first motorcycle ,what size bike will fit me im 6ft tall and 160 pounds , any suggestions ?

[canyonchaser]

@YO3chill Depending on what kind of bike you want and your budget, i'd first suggest the Versys 650, then the SV650. They're about the best bikes of their kind. Friendly enough for new riders, capable enough for experienced riders. Hard to go wrong with either of those two.

[MrRolcsibacsi]

what a coincidence, i have an sv650 too! :D

just one question, at 4:45 when you put the spacer back onto the axel. That spacer is moving about 1mm forward and backward. Is it supposed to be all the way forward or all the way backward when im lining it up with one of those marks to make the wheel straight? just because the same spacer on the other side is so tight and it has no movement on the axle. Or is it possible to feel while ridding if the wheel is not 100% straigth/aligned.

Thanks a lot!

[canyonchaser]

@MrRolcsibacsi Don't worry about the forward and back movement of that spacer. It's job is to prevent the swingarm from pinching the rear wheel. Sideways, not front to back.

If you wheel is not 100% aligned, you will burn up chains and sprockets, but may never "feel" anything wrong. That's why it's critical to measure for alignment, then put the allen key into the chain to force the axle and the alignment spacers to the most forward position. Then re-measure to ensure things are straight.

Great vid, thanks dude

[topcontroll]

Awesome video. Look forward to watching more.

[tosgem]

Well, at 1:119 that looked incredibly easy. My caliper is on the top, I have been trying to lift the wheel up with everything in line, spacers etc AS WELL and get my rotor into the caliper at the same time. Impossible. I can't even get my pads far enough apart to get my disc back in, even when I shove a screwdriver in between. I swear, I am sick of cantenkerous mechanical shit.

[canyonchaser]

@tosgem We cut out the five or six takes it took us to actually get everything lined up. Try putting a block of wood underneath the wheel to hold things in place while you get everything lined up. Like I said, it's the most miserable rear-wheel in the world to put back in place - it makes you really love the simplicity of the Single Sided Swingarm.

[tosgem]

@canyonchaser thanks for the reply canyonchaser, I just got it on now. I put my bike (a dirt bike) on a lift stand and was able to use that as a pivot and actually swing the bike down to the tyre (leaving the tyre on the ground), which brought the task into the realms of mortal man, instead of just the Hindu god Vishnu. Also, played with the brakes and managed to get the pads separated.

[canyonchaser]

@tosgem Well done! :)

[chokvalvoa007]

awesome thanks for you time

[KRETANMARKET]

[canyonchaser]

@KRETANMARKET Thank you!

[ArGyProductions]

Awesome Vid

[irishyetiboy]

brilliant guys well done.... I'll be watching for more vids.. thank you.

[an50331]

lol i was thinking the same thing about the overuse of the word "shimmy"

[33point1]

great vid, I got to take my rear off a CBR600 f4, the caliper is on top, does that need removing or will the wheel come out with it in place?.

[canyonchaser]

Nope. It will need to come out. Most likely it will be on a pin thats welded to the swingarm. Pull the wheel axel and the wheel will fall to the ground, then move the caliper out of the way. Good luck.

[Bosco33799]

a very good lesson very helpful....thank u.
