Thank you very much! You did a great job. Just bought a 2016 F700GS and it needs new tires. The BMW dealership was going to charge me $120 to change out each tire!
Thanks for posting - made quick work of getting tire off with confidence. Easy job once you've done it but really nice to have a walk-through like this before doing it first time.
Thanks for your video! Just picked-up a nice nail on my new 700 so it's off with the wheel and to the repair shop :-) Appreciate the effort putting this online.
Hi John D. I replied to this, but it's not showing, so just in case you didn't get it, I'll reply again. It's the SW Motech skidplate: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sw-motech-skid-plate
This video was inspirational especially knowing it was done by a woman, no offense at all - compliments only! Would you mind listing the tools you needed to complete this job. I own an F700gs 2013 and I'm trying to get a list of tools needed to remove my front and rear tire so I can get the tire changed without taking to a dealership and being taxed an arm and a leg
Thanks Joey. It's been awhile, but if I remember correctly, it was a 24mm socket for the axle, a breaker bar, a rubber mallet (to help tap the axle back in) and a torque wrench. I have a screwdriver that has interchangeable bits, so I'm not sure of the size of the bit used to remove the speed sensor. I have a set of open end wrenches and can't remember what size it was that fit the lock nut. Sorry about that. If I do another video, I'll remember to be more specific about all the tools I used. What I do is just give it a go. I set aside a lot of time for the project, just in case I need to go to the store and pick up a tool I don't have. It turns out, I had to go to the store during this tire change to pick up a couple of tools. Have fun doing it. That's what it's all about. Let me know how it goes.

Changing both tires on my 700 Gs. Your instruction really helped. Thanks,
So glad! Hope it all went well!
