Exact video I was looking for as I’m getting ready to pull off my first direct drive wheel (been riding street bikes my whole life). So thank you. I would like to offer an alternative to punching out the axle though. Personally I’ve always used a long 3/8” or 1/2” drive extension (depending on axle size) to punch axles. They work great because the will catch the spacer and have almost a zero percent chance of screwing up threads after you remove the nut. I prefer the impact extensions and will use a rubber mallet with them. They also work great for reinstalling the axle and holding the spacer in place. $10 for a 4 pack. Harbor Freight.
Thanks so much. This is probably one of the most helpful videos I've seen on this procedure. I have a 2005 S50 and thanks to this video I might just try to take the wheels off myself and bring them to the shop for new tires rather than have them do everything.
Them wheels are so much nicer than the basic spoke wheels like mine. Hopefully one day I will come across a set on a parts bike but I dont see them very often.
Thank you for this video! Very helpful. I'm having a heck of a time reinstalling the brake cable back in the drum cover housing. Have you run into that issue?
Hello Mr. Riegner thanks for posting your videos on CZcams very helpful information. I do have a question regarding your mag wheels. I currently own a 1986 suzuki intruder 700 but my bike came stock with spoke wheels
Thanks for the video, it’s been hard to find videos on these older models
thank you for the insight about changing to a 1400 of that differential to give me a better highway ride with lower RPM cuz I too am done racing

Thank you. I’m a visual guy and I miss working on bikes/cars with my dad. He’s gone so this means a lot. 🙏
Its amazing, you ol guys do everything properly and precise, its a pleasure to learn "how to" the right way. Nice.
Thanks David, nice and simple, showed all the tools needed, very little muscle needed, great example of " work smarter not harder"
I like the way you talk and carry yourself. You have good character.
Dude you just saved my ass man I sure appreciate you
That was really good!! And that’s a lot easier than I thought! I thought I had to take apart the drive hub
