The vstar 1300 service manual can be found in/on the vstar 1300 wiki page in the files section/downloads. Link - vstar1300.pbworks.com/w/page/5760692/FrontPage Once you have the "SERVICE manual" you can refer to some of the pages that I mention in this, and upcoming videos.
Tip: I have seen people put a Crown Royal bog on the caliper after removal to prevent it banging on the rim or fender. There is usually a place to hang it by the string until you can re-install. Excellent reason to go buy a bottle. Great video man, good to see another 1300 rider on TH-cam.
Good tip , I will at times do that, or Ill stack a few bricks underneath to alleviate the stress. Good points. Another 1300 rider huh , awesome.. will swing by your channel. ride safe.
@@dbest1aVlogs It worked well, it has a level on it so you can be sure and adjust the 4 lower legs before you get started. It is a bikemaster model and the materials did not feel cheap. I ended up adding another 1/2 oz of weights to balance the tire and then added a little duct tape to help them stay on. It looked like I had some fall off.
Nice how to bro, when I do mine it's pretty much the same but i only jack the bike just enough to take the weight off the front end, but with the tyre still touching the floor with only the weight of the wheel and tyre, that way you don't need to support the wheel whilst pulling the axle out, then jack up a touch more to remove the wheel from under the front fender, RSM8.
The principal would be pretty much th same. If you can get the field service manual for your bike, that will give all the helpful torque specs. They are a huge help.
yes lightly . per the field service manual with lithium based grease. Important to read the manual. It will help you to not miss a lot of little things.
No , I haven't changed it . I don't think I will cause there is a very thorough walk through on the vstar 1300 wiki forum. They go into such great detail with pictures its great.
Pft you dont need to put it back on. Just wheelie all day and set her down on some grass.. but seriously good video mate, hope it helps others with there bikes.
I did a time lapse, and videod a little .. I do have video of the boring replacement in the vstar maintenance playlist. I needed a special Otc tool to pull the top race. If your lubing them then you dont need to do all that just pull the wheel, forks, headlight bucket, wires, pull the handlebars off the mount, pull the triple tree top. Then slide out the bottom triple tree, lube bearings, then reinstall as per manual for tourque specs.. Gonna see if I can finish filming the forks tonight , n the wheel install... Stay tuned.. Oh we ended up going to a buffet that night lol... my daughters got me good lol. It was fun. keep the wind in your face. Bruce
Did you need with something ? See the service manual for a full breakdown with pictures. I download it from the Facebook forums , vstar 1300, in files section.
Lol.. I will be filming that as soon as I get the front end all back together. Pulling the bearings to lube then film the forks going back on , then the wheel an the whole process I go through. I just needed to get some parts out the way especially before the 1st ride video.

Thank you Chris . You are right. I knew once it warmed up, I wasn't gonna do jack. Lol
TH-cam how too's are great. That is how I got into motovlogging. Great job.
Thank you . They are good to do, with the hope that they help others. Ride safe bro

How did the balancer work..?

@@AnthonysWestTexasRides the front? How much total did it need.

Thanks for watching .
My Jack won't allow those intermediate steps.
Good how-to. I may be replacing rims this year so this will come in handy

Nicely done!!

Lolol. You shoulda road to best buy lol..
Nice little how to video.
Thank you.
Do you grease the axle rod when putting the tire back on?
yes lightly . per the field service manual with lithium based grease. Important to read the manual. It will help you to not miss a lot of little things.
Great job and info. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Anytime. Thank you for taking the time to watch. Stay safe, and ride safe.
Bruce
Nice work. Well done Sir. 👍🏻
Thank you Tarrnation. I am really looking forward to some riding.. I will even take 45 degrees lol... with sun lol.
Dbest1a’s Ride I agree, it has been a pretty wet winter for us.
Yes sir, better days ahead. I miss the warm air flowing over the fingers..
Hi. Did you ever make a video on how to change the coolant on the 1300 V Star ?
No , I haven't changed it . I don't think I will cause there is a very thorough walk through on the vstar 1300 wiki forum. They go into such great detail with pictures its great.
You made an easy task out of that!
I have done it waaaaaaaaay too many times. especially when my last tire had a bad belt...
😎👍🏻great job bro.
Thanks Jason.
Well done. Thank you
Anytime.. still have 1 more to edit
Nice. Get your projects done while it's cold out.
Your so right. Actually a good thing I checked the head bearings. They needed grease.
@@dbest1aVlogs, yeah, unless its a good independent shop any dealer work probably needs grease.
😬
Pft you dont need to put it back on. Just wheelie all day and set her down on some grass.. but seriously good video mate, hope it helps others with there bikes.
lol .. maybe one day I will learn how lol ...
Great effort🌴☮️✌️
Please film everything you're doing on the front end. My bearings need done too.
P.S. What did you.fix the kids for dinner? Lol

Gonna see if I can finish filming the forks tonight , n the wheel install...
Stay tuned..
Oh we ended up going to a buffet that night lol... my daughters got me good lol. It was fun.

I wish the lighting was better on this vid
Did you need with something ?
See the service manual for a full breakdown with pictures. I download it from the Facebook forums , vstar 1300, in files section.
You need a special bracket on these bikes to keep from jacking against the motor.
Yes true , or hockey pucks.
I usually jack either the front or rear which has been fine.
Thanks for watching.
That was pretty cool bro. But, you just messed up a bunch of people by not showing them how to put that wheel back on 😁🤔
Lol.. I will be filming that as soon as I get the front end all back together. Pulling the bearings to lube then film the forks going back on , then the wheel an the whole process I go through. I just needed to get some parts out the way especially before the 1st ride video.
