Honda helix removing rear wheel pt1

[@kevinspahr6632]

Thanks Tony for taking the time to make a video on this. I actually like that you don't edit anything, that way we know in real life what you are doing. It helps out a lot for me! Keep up the good work and sharing your knowledge with other Helix owners.

Thanks very much

Tony, thanks for making these videos. I have found that on my 04 Helix I can remove and replace the back wheel without taking off the seat or removing the top bolt on the shock absorber. Just take off the bottom shock bolt and move the shock around and the swing arm and wheel can be removed and replaced. I would suggest removing the black plastic side panels to make access easier.

My last tire change took me 5min and 30sec I timed it

[@slimpeters2181]

Many thanks for doing this video. I need a tire change and wanted to see it done before I tear into it. Can't wait to see part two.

Awesome glad I can help thank you for watching

Thank you so much for this video! I am adding a helix to my scooter family. I have a Reflex that I have put 20000 miles on in the last 2 years and 5 rear tires. This looks a lot different. Look forward to binge watching your vids! Liked and subbed. Ride on!

Tony, do you have any videos showing how to change cycle/scooter tires, and what to use tool-wise to get the tires off and on the rims?

[@1tonysgarage]

No sorry I take mine to work and change them with a tire machine. Thanks for watching

[@bmcdonald4906]

Thanks for the help. I’m having trouble with my Helix, she’s missing at 50 and 55. I used to get her up to 70. I think there’s too much vacuum in the air box. Any recommendations?

[@1tonysgarage]

Could be carb getting dirty. Check air filter and fuel filter

[@fireguardburnt]

Thanks 4 your effort Buddy!

[@aarons3501]

Tony, I can’t get the rear wheel back on. What can I do??? The splines seem to not match up now?

[@1tonysgarage]

@@aarons3501 make sure there clean clean them with wire brush and try again. Make sure the brakes r not applied. Might have to loosen the brake adjuster some thanks for watching

[@aarons3501]

@@1tonysgarage thanks tony! any tips on re-installing the exhaust? I put a new gasket it, but doesn't seem to be lining up with the bolt patterns properly

[@1tonysgarage]

Thanks for the great information 👍

Hi Tony, off the subject here but any idea why my helix takes about 20 resolutions before it will start. Replaced the by starter already. Also when it does start it runs rough and you have to give it throttle to keep it running until it warms up then it runs fine. Top speed is about 67

[@1tonysgarage]

Could be the fuel pump slow to start. Check for vacuum leaks. Any black smoke when it does start?

[@andrzejklaus4553]

Hello, can the linearity of the wheels be set in the helix?

[@1tonysgarage]

I don’t think so

[@jbright6871]

? What size the bolt. The two going to engine I think I 8x40mm. What biut the 2 going to swing arm are they 8x20 lmk pkease

[@1tonysgarage]

I’m not sure sorry

[@craig1974]

I dont own a Helix i was just watching this video in case i buy one. As for the dipstick tube i know very well to be careful not to hit it because i knocked mine off on my old Honda Elite 80. Before i bought my electric impact i was trying to loosen the wheel nut by hand, and while i was hitting the breaker bar with a hammer i was careless not paying attention to where i was swinging i broke the dipstick tube off the engine. I thought the engine was done for a moment until i discovered i can replace the side cover. I had to buy a used side cover with gasket.

[@CarlosHernandez-ur4lz]

Hello sir I just got a new exhaust muffler for my helix and I also ordered a new gasket how do you take the old one off and put the new one on you're the expert please help thank you

[@1tonysgarage]

This video should show u how to take it off. And I have another video showing how to do the gasket. The video is called installing exhaust gasket

[@kevinspahr6632]

This will be my next project. I bought a can of high temperature black BBQ Grill paint. I plan on repainting the whole exhaust to keep it from rusting out😁 from what I hear they are very expensive!

[@1tonysgarage]

Don’t forget the exhaust gasket. Yes that is a perfect time to paint

[@kevinspahr6632]

Hey Tony, when you gonna do a video on replacing the front brake pads?

[@1tonysgarage]

Thank you for watching. I need to take the front wheel off my bead is leaking so I will show the brakes at that time. Probably going to be a couple of weeks and I will do that. Thanks again for watching

[@BenjaminSteber]

I'm considering doing a full front and back tire repair on my helix. This includes swapping tires. Do you recommend I try it solo or wait a week and get it to the shop?

[@1tonysgarage]

If you have the tools do it yourself save some money.

[@BenjaminSteber]

@@1tonysgarage I assume the front tire is a lot more straightforward.

[@1tonysgarage]

Ya the front u have to take the brake caliper off then the center bolt the speedo cable is a separate piece and it has a notch that it goes in

[@BenjaminSteber]

@@1tonysgarage can you make a video showing it before Friday? 🥺

[@1tonysgarage]

Sorry I work all week.
