It's the small and extremely valuable tips like putting the wrench in the sprocket and tapping the wheel before tightening down the rear axle that makes these videos absolute gems. Thanks Brian, I've been a STG customer for years!

I like how he talks, very paced very clear. But I tell you doing the brake was no joke and I have the same r6 in this demo. You have to also open the brake because as he says it gets pushed in. I had to use tape to hold it in place because when you put on the wheel it knocks the brake out of the bracket. Not an easy job, but if you do it 10 times then you get the hang of it.

Just a very small addition to this great video:If you have a partner to help you put the rear wheel back on, it can be a great help.Getting the spacers, chain, axle and calliper all sorted while you hold the wheel of the ground can be quite difficult!That wheel gets heavy - real quick!

Likely just the type of pads you are using. Make sure that the pads are not worn down to the metal but some light squeaking is pretty normal.

Pay attention when reinstalling the rear wheel "SLIDE THE CALIPER OVER THE ROTOR" so the brake pads are over the rotor like he said. It will be so much harder and time consuming if you do not do this when reinstalling the rear wheel

@michaelle6247 4 жыл бұрын

Can you please dive into how you make the rear caliper captive? Replacing the wheel by myself is quite hectic and the only solution I found was to zip tie the caliper on the swing arm. Thank you in advance.

@sportbiketrackgear 4 жыл бұрын

The R6 in the video had the rear caliper hanger modified to hold it in place. This was a custom job that only works on this make and model. I have done something similar to the STG NInja 400 as well. Each bike is different and this is not something that can be done on all bikes without making some serious changes. - Van

it sounds like you have the rear caliper hanger misaligned with the boss on the inside of the swingarm. Look between the rear wheel and the swingarm on the brake side in front of the axle. - Van

How do you make sure the chain is on the correct sprocket? You just slapped it on. I was thinking I need to market it before removing but I forgot so I was just going to measure the slack that I knew before I removed it. .... I’m thinking that the chain should have no slack on top from seeing how you did it. I’m talking about a 1 tooth difference...... I guess I could loosen my blocks so I can hold the wheel as far back as I can with the chain on & it should be equal on both sides then adjust the blocks.

@leonheart2135 5 жыл бұрын

Not sure if you still check these comments but figured I'd ask. Ever since I put the rear wheel back on my 2002 Suzuki SV650S, regardless of how perfectly aligned and tight my chain is, I hear this strange, constant whirring noise coming from the chain. The chain tension is just right as I've adjusted it while on the side stand. I've used two Motion Pro tools (chain slack and rear wheel alignment tools) and have even measured both sides of the swingarm at 54 on each side. I'm going to take the rear wheel off again and put it back on while giving it a few taps on the tire as you did. Can you recommend anything else I can try if I still hear the constant ticking coming from the chain drive?
