Fog,

You're almost there. Once you have removed the screw on one side, you need to loosen the pinch bolts on both forks and using the hex key with a wrench, wiggle the axle out - it will come out with a little elbow grease. Make sure your calipers are off as well.

i was just wondering, is ur track bike lisenced or insured.

[buymoto]

If you are a "budget" racer, then your track bike might be your street bike as well at which point it must be licensed and insured.

Most race bikes that are track use only are not insured. But if you find a company that will insure track bikes, please let us all know! =)

For those that have the R1 like the one in this video - you can loosen the axle bolt by keeping the pinch bolts (allans) completely tightened first. Meaning. Remove the axle bolt first - then the pinch bolts after the axle bolt, then you can push the axle through the other side with a long rod (I used a skinny long scissor blade and a hammer) without a hex key tool Jay mentions. These videos made my day much much easier today. Thanks buy moto.

I agree with learning but if you ever have any doubt get a manufacturer tech to do the work, i had honda do work to a honda to find some wannabe mechanic had done things like swap spark plug cap covers so the numbers were different, when trying to troubleshoot problems that small thing can cause a headache for next owner!

Don't you re-grease the front axle? You did that on the rear wheel. Thanks for reply.
