How To Remove Your Motorcycles Rear Tire Yourself And Save Money - Suzuki GS500F

Son #1 has just acquired a Suzuki GS500F that's going to be a commuting bike for him. It has very low miles and outside of the fuel delivery issues we're working through, it's also got a dry rotted valve stem.
We've got to have the valve stem replaced but instead of hauling the whole bike to the bike shop and having THEM remove the tire, we're going to save money and remove the tire ourselves. It's a simple process so join me,...in the garage.....

So where do the bearings go? I already knew how to take off the tire but as soon as I did pieces started dropping and I have no idea where they go save for the spacer you showed at the end 😂 kinda scared to guess and get it wrong

Oh! Man! Bearings always go in the hub of the wheel first, then the washers, spacers etc. When you put it back, you'll know it's right if the chain lines up and it spins smoothly. If you're not sure, don't tighten the bolt all the way before you make sure it's spinning freely and not making any unusual noises.... hope this helps 🙏!

you forgot to show how to put it back on

[@SkaggsGarage]

Oops sorry about that! Basically, the installation is the reversal of the un-installation... you're welcome 😊. Seriously though, thanks for watching!

That's a wheel not a tyre 😂

[@mentor7796]

Painful to watch.

[@SkaggsGarage]

Yeah it was...

Put the spacers, nuts etc in a washing up bowl.
