REAR Tire removal tools needed from just doing this myself: * 1/2” Breaker bar for removal (don’t use torque wrench for removal, it could mess up the torque calibration) * 36mm 12 point socket for rear wheel axle (attached to breaker bar) * 8mm hex (male) for rear wheel to loosen lock screw, loosen only, don’t remove * Rubber Mallet to remove rear wheel axle * 17mm hex socket for lower swing arm bolt on rear wheel (this is tight, so I had to use the breaker bar. Also, the 24mm nut on the rear side of this bolt (closest to the spokes) may spin when trying to loosen the 17mm bolt, so to hold that rear 24mm nut steady you may need a 24mm wrench, or locking pliers) * T50 Torx wrench for Upper bolt on rear swing arm (the rear nut at the other end of this bolt closest to the wheel spokes is 14mm) * There is a spacer that will stay in the wheel because of the grease, but will be loose and could fall out, so keep that aside before moving the wheel to change the tire as it could fall out and get lost.
I know, major flaw. Not an issue in my garage, but for an adventure bike, I would have liked to keep tools necessary to remove rear wheel for going deep off of pavement, but this would add a ton of extra weight and bulk.
Awesome buddy 👍🏼 I wish I was confident enough to do this job. Maybe one day. I’m taking my bike in Wednesday to have the tires swapped out for the Karoo 4’s.
Thanx Fixing to put some Tractionaters on my new 1200 GT Explorer. The stock Metzler is a killer on gravel and at 40 to 50 mph it makes a really loud howl. Or is it just me?
Quick question, I noticed your coolant level was just above the 'low' mark. Have you found that is where it seems to stay? When I got mine, the dealer had the level about midway between high and low but now its at the same level as yours. Is this Triumph normal? Very helpful video BTW.
When I got my 12 GTX. It was bone dry. I didn’t notice it for 1200 miles. Never overheated. Tires had 20lbs n them. I filled it to the full line and it’s now right in the middle
@@andrewshore262 it is about the center of gravity. Even much lighter bikes are very hard to lift from the ground than a GS. Had a T7. A friend has a 850 another one a Tiger 900. They are all top heavy and I would not ride them offroad alone as I do most of the time. The triple engine is nice, though. For pavement rides not a problem.
@@motolover5697 I don’t disagree (my new GT Pro was delivered a few hours ago) before I purchased I test rode extensively the GS & GSA and you’re right the boxer engine is low down and it probably is easier to lift (Boxer engine etc.). My comment is just focusing on the procedure of rear wheel removal - because (just my opinion) all these mahoosive ADV bikes will quickly drain your energy if they go down a few times in close succession even a GSA. My bike is intended for road only use, if I was going off road I wouldn’t entertain anything bigger than a 500 & purpose built for it, big ADV’s are too expensive and two brittle for real off roading
If anybody can point me to a" how to" on turning off traction control on a 2023 12 Gt Explorer. I will give you a million dollas. I can't figure it out. No one at the sorry dealership has a clue.They just loaded it and sent me on my way.

Perfect timing as I’ve got a tyre change due on my upcoming trip.
Just remember to torque the axle back up to 185 Nm 🍻
Good job - but what are the torque setting numbers for all of the bolts?
nice I was wondering how this was going to be done, easier than I thought.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I love you man. This is good stuff!
Excellent.. but that dry axle needs grease... subscribed

Very helpful, thanks!
Thank you
Thanks a lot for a very clear video😊. I have the same question as many other, what are the different torque for the different bolts?😊
Hello, thanks, very good video 👍👍
What are the torque values for the fasteners?
great! well thank you
Mike Fallon what tool and size did you use for the axle nut ? Thank you.
Hello, thank you for the Video. Is it at a Tiger 1200 GT Pro (2022) the same way? Sorry or my bad english.
I believe its the same.

What axle wrench did you use for the rear axle?

Stock tires are terrible. How are the Tractionaters? I went with Trailmax Raid, super happy with those.
Nice video. Can You tell me,what is it a kind of key for main axle nut?

@@MikesGarage409 Thank You so much.
………. or a 12 point 36mm socket.
What a pain. Single sided swing arms are a whole lot simpler.
And rider is expected to do all this off road? Oof I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying all these heavy duty tools in my back pack
@@AlucardFeeds Agreed. Can't think of a reason why you would want to take a wheel off outside of a workshop though.
@@ScragNath tyre damage for instance, One can take the wheel off, the other takes it to the repair shop.
The guys I ride with are expected to be able to work on there own bike.
@@MikesGarage409 Many of us are able to. Many of us don't want two tons of spanners in our luggage though.
Hello, what kind of tool you use for the achs? Thank you.

Its normal

Hey Bro. Is the air filter easy to change
All the work is getting to it. I will do a video someday.
You forgot to re-tighten the axle set screw! I agree with others that you should've stated torque values.
lol, I don't show all the details as I expect everyone to have basic mechanical skill.
Very complicated in comparison to a GS.
I wouldn't want the GS after this bike.
@@MikesGarage409 Try lifting it from the ground then say ;)
It maybe more complex than a GS, but it’s hardly complicated
