Honda Africa Twin Rear Wheel Removal and Install

[@peterhauer6745]

Thanks for your vid. Spooning on the rear tire on this bike drives me crazy. It’s got a wide tire and the dish is in the very center of the rim! You got it on faster than I do and your vid shows me I need to move the caliper bracket more! Thanks again 👍

I had a set of tkc80 installed at the dealer and it came to $600, so they're charging over $200 to install. I bought spoons and the rim protectors to do it myself from now on. Thanks for the video.

Yeah... I just upped my price. 25.00 per wheel.

Before removing the wheel would it help to put some wood under it . Or even roll it up a short ramp to get in place ?

[@professionalpiercer]

I just got my wheel back from good ol' ktm honda shop that replaced my bearings, collar, and rubber triangle spacer things in sprocket side... now my spacer that goes onto the sprocket side does not sit in properly. The wheel thing is too wide now. I noticed they put different bearings in it during installation. This is beyond annoying.

Good video! Thanks for sharing. How did you engage your Pit-bull rear stand?

[@RideWNC]

This version of Pit Bull has both swing arm configurations. It works with bobbins and it has rubber coated pins which slide under a swing arm as seen at :32

@@RideWNC Yes, I have that doohickey and I can flip it around to make use of the rubberized pins. Thanks.

A nice almost true to my experience of fitting the rear wheel with the exception of a massive amount of swearing and cursing. I'm unsure why you don't want to quote the Honda recommended torque setting though, now I need to do another search 🤔

[@RideWNC]

Sorry. When I post torque specs, and I get one wrong the trolls bash me. So now I don't do it. They were easy to find. You are welcome to post them in the comments.

@@RideWNC Trolls suck as the torque would be very helpful. Would make the perfect lesson. Forget the trolls and you will rise. Don't abide a troll. Never.
