Yamaha R6 - Rear Wheel Removal/ Re-Install

When you need a new tire mounted on the rear of your motorcycle you'll need to take the wheel off first. You'll save yourself some money by doing this, then just bring the wheel/old tire to the shop vs. them doing this service for you.
Watch Dr. Speed lemon shows you the process on this Yamaha R6, and start saving more money by removing the rear wheel yourself!

This video helped me so much! First time switching out my tires on my R6. I couldn't figure out how to get the rear brake caliper in and you saved me! I didn't know about the groove it was supposed to sit in. I kept thinking I was missing a bolt and it couldn't just sit there haha🤣THANK YOU!

Good video, it is almost a two man job. I recently did this and it was a pain in the but. The things I will do to save 50 dollars for removal and refitting of wheels.

[@motorcyclemaintenancechann2131]

Facts! That's $50 more to put into your motorcycle!

[@lillnemo1]

How is this almost a 2 man job???
You can change the wheel in not even a minute

[@miami180]

Thanks for a great video, it’s my first time doing it and I felt a little intimidated

[@motorcyclemaintenancechann2131]

Glad it helped!

[@colinhayden6452]

Watched the vid from start to finish and found it informative as I have just purchased a R6. But what’s going on with your torque wrench my dad had one of them in the early 80s.

[@desmondmcguinness4668]

good job bud i used to remove the rear brake caliper mine is an 04

[@motorcyclemaintenancechann2131]

Great to hear it!

[@hfgy475]

I know this reel was about removing the wheel, but how come you didn't adjust the chain? And/or loosen the chain adjusters before you pulled the wheel out or took the chain off? I don't understand...??? When you loosen the axle nut, you always adjust the chain!

[@Scytheuk]

Thank you! Is there a particular reason you chose that particular Pit Bull paddock stand for the R6?

[@motorcyclemaintenancechann2131]

They’re good stands, worth the premium price😎

[@jackson1463]

Forgot the washer on the axle nut. Good video tho. Thx 👌🏻

[@motorcyclemaintenancechann2131]

Thanks so much for watching.
We love the 2 wheel community !

[@vdecryption-2048]

Having a real hard time getting the caliper back on... any tips?

[@motorcyclemaintenancechann2131]

Did you get it?
If not, spread the pads with a screwdriver wrapped in a micro fiber cloth so as to not scrape the pads too much. Then try again. Hope you got it already!

[@vdecryption-2048]

@@motorcyclemaintenancechann2131 yes I did, did exactly what you said actually lol. Thanks for getting back to me though. 🤙

[@adama1619]

My tire feel stiff. I did everything right. I hear some scraping noise coming from the back. What do I do?

[@motorcyclemaintenancechann2131]

Double-check you put the caliper on correctly and the spacers as well

[@pinoyjoyrides8376]

You didnt show the chain adjustment

[@motorcyclemaintenancechann2131]

The chain didn't need to be adjusted. We will have a chain adjustment video soon!

[@mofugga]

i don’t have a way to measure torque for tightening

[@motorcyclemaintenancechann2131]

Should buy a torque wrench.

[@ricardocoreas135]

Cycle gear kept it last time i was there

[@motorcyclemaintenancechann2131]

That’s a bummer!
