I got me self a bike stand and a couple of loovely bobbins so I'm planning to take off the rear tyre to help give the bike a PROPER GOOD OL' CLEAN. The SV is me only means of transport now (don't do public transport) so i need to make sure its always in tip-top condition. Scottoiler is in the post.
I need hints with removing the rear wheel (probably more help with putting it back on). I don't have a torque wrench, is this vital for doing up all the bolts? Maybe the rule of thumb....till you can't turn any more would work? Advice appreciated. Cheers, Neil |

I take it you mean wheel removal rather than tyre removal. It's a piece of ****. It will be the same for a pointy and a curvey with the exception that you will have to loosen the bolts on the rear brake torque arm on a curvey. Other than that just undo the spindle and remove to drop the wheel out. A torque wrench isn't essential. Just do it up tight enough that its not going to fall out.

You don't have to realign it when you put it back in. The chain adjusters stay on the swingarm.
