rear tyre puncture

[Drumnath]

What do i need to pull off to remove the rear tyre to come off to get a punture fixed

 

[mr-fabricator]

Just pull the rear wheel spindle and itll come right out , tyre shop , patch and your good to go ,

Unless its in a bad spot near the tyre wall in wich case they may not fix it and you need a new tyre .

U can fix it yourself with a redily available puncture repair kit , u dont even need to take the wheel off

I did a rear repair on a Gsxr 750 years ago and it was perfect ..

Best of luck

Thanks was easier then i thought just unbolted the bolt dropped the chain and wiggled it off and past the brake caliper its in the middle and just gonna take it down to the shop

Unrelated to the removal, but if they can pull it and plug/patch from the inside, the conventional wisdom is that it is safer.

I use this type of a rope plug (looks like black licorice) and it works great. I have plug almost new tires on my BMW S1000RR and run it to the cords many times with no problem at all.



This is what it looks like when you finally take the tire off...
