Hey All, just checking if there's a rear wheel available out there. I'd like to have a spare wheel for when I'm getting tires replaced. And it doesn't need to have a tire, I've got a spare. Looonngg wait times with the dealer! Thanks
Yea' those damn wheels are at a premium for sure. I still have yet to find a front wheel. The few that are being parted out with good front wheels are snatched up within hours of being posted.Thanks for the link Chris, boy even damaged those are at a premium. I've have considered doing it myself but this one my Road Hazard is replacing for free
That's the same video I used to get started several years ago. I watched that, bought some spoons and rim protectors, and never looked back.I had never changed a motorcycle tire myself until a year ago when I decided to give it a try. My mechanical skills are about average. I followed the wheel removal techniques described on this forum. Then I used this video from Motorcyclist Magazine:I bought a Parnes wheel balancer ($150).
My first rear tire change took me 10 hours! Now it takes me about 2-3. Same for the front.
Now I change my friend's tires as well.
Changing my own tires saves a bunch of time and money. Good luck!
