2013 STriple rear wheel removal?

Post by SputnikSam » Tue Mar 28, 2017 6:49 pm

Hey all, I ordered a new rear tire from CycleGear (Diablo Rosso III), and plan on removing the rear tire and take it to them for the install. I watched a couple of videos on how to remove the rear tire for a Daytona. I assume it's mostly the same? Any advice on removing and replacing for when I do it this weekend?

Yeah, they are pretty much the same. Nothing to hard about it so long as you have a rear stand to get the wheel off the ground. Putting it back on can be a bit tricky getting the holes to line up for the axle to go through, but nothing to hard. I usually sit on the ground and use my foot to lift the wheel to get the holes to line up. You might check your tools and make sure you have the correct size wrench. I didn't have the right size socket and had to buy one. Depending on how tightly the nut is on there you might need a breaker bar as well.

Good advice, thank you!
