    Am removing the rear wheel on my Streetbob soon to get the tyre changed and will follow the manual but if there are any tips out there not covered by the manual that others have discovered when doing the same would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the tips guys, will take them onboard, if I have to loosen belt adjusters to get the belt off I will but will mark the centre beforehand as Ozroder has mentioned, the maual doesnt call for any adjustment to them so I will see how I go.

    One thing I was going to ask was the manual states to remove lower shock bolts to drop the swingarm so you can remove the wheel, does anyone know how much lower the swingarm goes once the shocks are removed ?? (and the right passenger footrest bracket...good tip)

     

    Thanks again.
