My pro tip is to loosen/unbolt the two brake caliper bolts and one abs bolt before removing the rear axle. When reinstalling the wheel, it is much easier to get the caliper back on if it is separate from the silver mounting bracket. I dont know how you were able to reinstall the wheel and brake caliper so easy, but I struggled for far too long before figuring out this tip. Thanks for the great video, you make it look easier than it is.
Just one piece of advice, I'd suggest breaking the axle nut with the rear tire still on the ground. I know more than one person who's had their bike fall off the stand when breaking the bolt loose on the stand.
Your install is deceptively simple. Aligning everything is very hard I don’t know how you made it look so easy. This is a two man job. The disc side spacer falls out every time. There is no space between spacer and caliper bracket. This alone is a three power job if working alone
The hardest part is lining everything up for the reinstall. Wheel spacers falling out, rear brake jumping off the rail. Trying to hold the whole thing up with your foot. It's a real pain in the ass and I dread doing it every single time.
Hello There, Actually it's been two years now and I put 11k on it and Still looks new, So much better than the Stock ones, I love these tires they made me no worries riding the twisties even though there's a slight gravel.
Question on axle positioning. At 7:17 the flat side of axle is sitting flat on the chain adjuster. I noticed mine does not sit exactly flat, slightly turned counter clockwise. Is it alright to leave it or shouod I make sure its squared off with the chain adjuster
@@secrets1475 good question, it's supposed to be squared because it has not much space top and bottom, but if it does may a millimeter that's fine as long as your chain is aligned with front and rear sprocket, that's the most important
First off all thanks for tuning in, to make easy to install use a bar or wood to lift the tire and leve it, so the axle slides easily with the caliper make sure it exactly by the notch, be safe always
@@stever4184I've had a lot of bikes. I'm going to say it right now that reinstalling the rear on the XSR 900 is the hardest one I've ever had. My other bikes the rear caliper stays in place so it's just a simple matter of sliding the wheel up in there or you can install them last after the axle is already jnstalled. The XSR it wants to popout as soon as you breath on it and the clearance between the spacer and the caliper mount is very tiny.
Thanks Luis for the comment, sorry for the super delayed reply, no need to adjust the chain tension if it's not due to it's service maintenance or the slack is under one inch, just pull the axle and make sure to push the tire towards front once you've returned back the axle before you tighten it, be safe always
I was worried I might be dragging my rear tire too much, due to how little wear I have on the sides.. After watching these videos, and seeing EVERYONE changing flat-topped tires, I think I might just be normal.
Yes if your tyre is very flat / rounded off in the middle you should change, it gives the motorbike weird handling characteristics it wont want to turn in etc

@BeRideBack awesome, I am about to put a set on my bike and that is great to hear.

When I did this I had a real hard time getting the caliper back on. Any suggestions?

Me too mate was a nightmare. Got it on eventually by keeping the chain off until the caliper was on but must be an easy way. It came off easy peasy!!

@@Kraken9911 I now now why the shop asked ‘can you just bring the wheel in for us ?’! I’ll let you know how it goes next time after another 3K miles!
I put a set of those Michelin Road 5 and they are really grippy right from the start. You’re going to love them. Be safe bro and Merry Christmas 🎄

@BeRideBack, when you remove the rear wheel, do you have to adjust the chain tension back to stock?
Thanks Luis for the comment, sorry for the super delayed reply, no need to adjust the chain tension if it's not due to it's service maintenance or the slack is under one inch, just pull the axle and make sure to push the tire towards front once you've returned back the axle before you tighten it, be safe always

Ayos bro! Galing!
🤗 👍 ☝️ 😎 Nice one KaMotoFriends 🤗 Stay safe 😷 Ride safe 😉 Thanks for sharing 🤗 Linaw kitang kita yung SC8ter Rider Sticker 😍
Sana Oil 🛢️ Naka Michelin 🤩🤩🤩
Honestly don’t have to do all of this. Just remove the center axle and lift the chain by hand or loosen it and it should pull right out
And be careful with that brake caliper once you pull that axle👍be safe always
Don’t forget to pump up the brakes…
Awesome video thanks.
You're very welcome, and thank you too, happy new year and ride safe always!
