PlasticxxHead Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 jack up bike, or center stand and a rear strap. remove front fender remove the 2 caliper bolts on throttle side , support the brake caliper as to not stretch lines. loosen the axle nut, loosen the front pinch bolts. remove axle and catch tire.. repeat in opposite order.. axle is 42lb and pinch are 14 or 16 lbs i think lock tight the caliper bolts..

The Krypt Keeper Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 center stand, a floor jack with a 1"x4" under oil pan. Lift just enough to clear the ground remove fender calipers and axle toss reflectors in trash while you are at it. Dr. Plastic Head is correct or ft pounds or close enough to not worry about it. Blue locktite and not the red locktite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
