This video made me feel much better about taking several hours to put my wheel back on. I had trouble at the exact parts you said were difficult, and even had to get an extra set of hands exactly when you did for my SV. It made me feel a lot better knowing I hadn’t done anything wrong.
thanx to this video i replace and mount my GSX rearwheel. it was a hell of a job with the spacers, after 1 hour i was back on the road. Thanx a lot from the Netherlands.
Nice video. Thanks for taking the time to show all the elements of this remove and replacement. Nub and son will be doing this R&R on a SV650 soon and needed the complete info. This should be enough to keep us out of trouble.
@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.
@tosgem We cut out the five or six takes it took us to actually get everything lined up. Try putting a block of wood underneath the wheel to hold things in place while you get everything lined up. Like I said, it's the most miserable rear-wheel in the world to put back in place - it makes you really love the simplicity of the Single Sided Swingarm.
great video. some of the other videos were 20 minutes long or showed the bike up on cinder blocks. this was easy to follow and good camera quality. i'm working with a ninja 250.
@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.
Awesome video. The issue i am running into is the torque spec of the rear axle nut. If I torque it to 47lb/ft per the manual, the wheel will not spin freely. If i loosen it a bit to aboit 38 or so lb/ft, it spins freely. Is something maybe wrong why it wouldn't spin at 47, or is it OK at 38?
Hey bro great video. I am getting a 2003 SV650S on the part where you tighten the axle shouldn't we loosely tighten it first and then adjust the alignment and chain slack? I thought if we torqued it that it would cause unwanted stress or something.
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!
Thanks, I am sketched cause I know I learned how to do some maintenance on a ex250. Would it be safest to remove the caliper and hang it with a zip tie and reattach afterwards?
@canyonchaser thanks for the reply canyonchaser, I just got it on now. I put my bike (a dirt bike) on a lift stand and was able to use that as a pivot and actually swing the bike down to the tyre (leaving the tyre on the ground), which brought the task into the realms of mortal man, instead of just the Hindu god Vishnu. Also, played with the brakes and managed to get the pads separated.
Nice video! Just a tip about cotter pins: If you trim the long end, then bend it over so it's pointing into the end of a bolt/axle, it helps prevent it from snagging or scratching on stuff... like your skin.
Just wondering if it matters from what side you install the axle? I ride a K3 GSXR 600 and just took the wheel off to have it painted and am unsure if the axle nut should be on the left or right!
i think you will find the triangular shaped piece of aluminium bolted to the brake caliper that the spindle goes through has been fitted the wrong way,the scooped out bit usually faces the rear wheel,inwards,well it does on the bandit which is essentially the same as sv.The easiest way to lift the rear wheel to line up with the spindle when fittiing on your own is to use a long piece of wood,or tyre lever,or as i used a hockey stick,just happened to be laying about in the garage,put it under the wheel and lever up until everything lines up,simples.
This vid-yo helped me reassemble my rims after powder coating. Because of your front and rear wheel assembly vids and world of Triumph.com I was able to do it. Thx for the open source intel!
I have my 2011 dl650 rear wheel off right now. Its a lot harder to put back on than the SV650 the problem I find id ,it has a part for the ABS that sticks out and makes it realy hard to get the wheel on.
Hmm.. Is this the same for like a motorcycle with a 50cc? Because I've got a Jincheng Dax and it looks like it has like a whole bunch more things I need to get loose :/ Any help? I've tried looking for a vid but unfortunatly :/
Nope. It will need to come out. Most likely it will be on a pin thats welded to the swingarm. Pull the wheel axel and the wheel will fall to the ground, then move the caliper out of the way. Good luck.
Thank you for doing this tutorial. I am surprised that you don't check chain tension and/or alignment after replacing the wheel. I suspect I missed something?
undercrackers56 We have a video specific for chain tension and alignment. You can't put everything into one video. :) th-cam.com/video/zB4DsHV8SAQ/w-d-xo.html
+CanyonChasers Motorcycle Adventure, Sport and Touring I know it's probably good practice to check your chain tension while you're there, but theoretically since we did not mess with the chain adjustment at all while removing the rear wheel, shouldn't the chain tension be the same as it was before you removed the rear wheel?
GREAT video. I Guess you dont HAVE to have a torque wrench, just have to make sure its snug but not overtight...those things cost a nice chunk of change the torque wrenches...
How about a wooden dowel slightly smaller in diameter and cut slightly shorter than the width of the rim and spacers? it will hold the rim and spacers while you lift everything up and be pushed out when the axle is pushed through.
Nice overview. A pair of wooden wedges under the tire to set its height makes both removal and installation a 1-person affair. I would have liked to see passing mention of tire balancing after replacement, checking of axle alignment (with/without sprocket alignment tool), chain tension, hydraulic brake testing, and tire break-in. One problem on MCs without swing arm spools is that the swing arm slope creates a tendency to slide off the paddock stand. The presence of axle sliders adds another step.
Well, at 1:119 that looked incredibly easy. My caliper is on the top, I have been trying to lift the wheel up with everything in line, spacers etc AS WELL and get my rotor into the caliper at the same time. Impossible. I can't even get my pads far enough apart to get my disc back in, even when I shove a screwdriver in between. I swear, I am sick of cantenkerous mechanical shit.
Nice vid too much work for me - no garage or time. But it's good to know how, just so you won't be at the mercy of a mechanic who thinks you don't have a clue
4:57 Just buy a fucking torque wrench and socket set and look up the spec in the service manual and torque your fucking wheel so it does fly off when your riding.

Your vids have been very helpful for me! It's very nice from you to take your time to explain us how to take care of our motorbikes. THANKS!
just used these two videos to make it through taking off my rear wheel and putting the new tire back on the bike. thank you so much my good sir
Required equipment: an apron that says Nancy on it.
Nice video. Thanks for taking the time to show all the elements of this remove and replacement. Nub and son will be doing this R&R on a SV650 soon and needed the complete info. This should be enough to keep us out of trouble.
Thanks for the video's canyonchaser. We really appreciate all of the effort you put into the videos, as well as all of the terminology im learning!

great vid, I got to take my rear off a CBR600 f4, the caliper is on top, does that need removing or will the wheel come out with it in place?.

Thanks man. Very informative and helpful. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks, I am sketched cause I know I learned how to do some maintenance on a ex250. Would it be safest to remove the caliper and hang it with a zip tie and reattach afterwards?
Thanks Nancy!
Yep, it was changed on newer models, but actually, the brake caliper on top is easier to manage than on the bottom.
Thank you, nancy

Thank you for making this! Super helpful!
Awesome videos man super helpful!
I thought it is complicated to take the rear wheel off and it looks pretty easy especially with this kind of a tutorial. Great video.
Just wondering if it matters from what side you install the axle? I ride a K3 GSXR 600 and just took the wheel off to have it painted and am unsure if the axle nut should be on the left or right!
In most cases, the nut should be on the opposite side of the chain.

Great information! Helpful to doing it myself for the tires
Hey that bike is using a aftermarket Swingarm right ?
This vid-yo helped me reassemble my rims after powder coating. Because of your front and rear wheel assembly vids and world of Triumph.com I was able to do it. Thx for the open source intel!
Awesome video. Look forward to watching more.
Great video !. It has great detail and it is inspiring also ! . Keep the good work ! !
That's awesome - thanks Nancy!
thanks bruv u help me alot, im not using superbike but it still helps for disk brake
Yes, that is correct - check out our "How To Adjust Your Motorcycle Chain" video
I have my 2011 dl650 rear wheel off right now. Its a lot harder to put back on than the SV650 the problem I find id ,it has a part for the ABS that sticks out and makes it realy hard to get the wheel on.
Hmm.. Is this the same for like a motorcycle with a 50cc? Because I've got a Jincheng Dax and it looks like it has like a whole bunch more things I need to get loose :/ Any help? I've tried looking for a vid but unfortunatly :/
hi , from scotland ..... great vlog ..
@KRETANMARKET Thank you!
great video! lubricant that you use for lubing the dumpers can it be wd40? I don't want to buy the whole can of silicon spray joust for that :)
WD40 doesn't really work very well. Splurge on the can of Silicone. It has lots of uses, anything involving rubber, silicone does a better job anyway.
CanyonChasers Motorcycle Sport Touring thanks man!
Nope. It will need to come out. Most likely it will be on a pin thats welded to the swingarm. Pull the wheel axel and the wheel will fall to the ground, then move the caliper out of the way. Good luck.
Do wheel spacers need lubrication ?
Thank you for doing this tutorial. I am surprised that you don't check chain tension and/or alignment after replacing the wheel. I suspect I missed something?

+Albert Truong Yes, it should remain the same, unless you inadvertently bumped the something.. :)
Thanks alot..You saved me alot of time..
@Sindretonnesen Use a giant flat screwdriver to spread the pads apart.
GREAT video. I Guess you dont HAVE to have a torque wrench, just have to make sure its snug but not overtight...those things cost a nice chunk of change the torque wrenches...
How about a wooden dowel slightly smaller in diameter and cut slightly shorter than the width of the rim and spacers? it will hold the rim and spacers while you lift everything up and be pushed out when the axle is pushed through.
For a lot of bikes, you can actually buy a "Captured Spacer Kit" - and it's amazing! It's what all the pro racing teams use.
Very nice video, thanks a lot! :)
Thanks Nancy
is this similar to the dl 650? (vstrom)
Not typically
my bike has no cotter pin I think I over tightened the axle its making some rubbing sounds when I ride
Awesome Vid
awesome thanks for you time
What about adjusting the chain?
We have a video all about that subject "How to Adjust Your Motorcycle Chain"
Are you the same dude from NutnFancy's Ducati dealership vid?
Thanks , good info.
Yep. That was me. :)

What size ur wheels
patta machang.
Thanks i like this instruction.
good video!
Good video but left out final alinement of wheel and chain tension.
lol i was thinking the same thing about the overuse of the word "shimmy"
@tosgem Well done! :)
Well, at 1:119 that looked incredibly easy.

WHER IN BKLYN ARE YOU?
Shouldn't her name be Nancy and your name Chris?
my friggin break peds wont get back on !?!?! :S help anyone
And who is Nancy?
here is how we did it with TDM th-cam.com/video/Kn-rzZzwP28/w-d-xo.html
I have an easier way to do that. Use a piece of wood under the rear wheel en it`s going a lot easier !!
4:57 Just buy a fucking torque wrench and socket set and look up the spec in the service manual and torque your fucking wheel so it does fly off when your riding.
nancy LOL
