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

CanyonChasers use an SV650 to walk through the step-by-step process of removing and replacing a rear motorcycle wheel. (Apparently I like to say "Shimmy" a lot)

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.

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!

@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.

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