Thanks for watching! How many of you guys ever gotten a flat tire on your bike?

Happy New Year 2023. Thank you for sharing this critical procedure. That rubber piece on the sprocket is a rubber isolator and it needs to be inspected any time the wheel is removed and replaced if it is dry rotted or cracked. Also, check the sprocket for any unusual wear from the belt that would indicate misalignment or improper tension. Next, check all bearings for wear and replace them if necessary. Be aware that the ABS bearing has a different seal color and if you do not install it on the right place, you will get an ABS DTC, but only after the bike has got to above 20mph. It would be a frustrating thing to have to remove the tire again. Your procedure was very detailed, but I wanted to cover these important points. Thank you

You definitely don’t have to remove your slip Ons. Just remove the lower shock bolt and jack it up or lower it and your axle will slide right out.

Always great videos and now i know how to change wheels and tires, thanks again

Great video BTY. Helped me figure out what tools I need and the general procedure to do the job.

Awesome video thanks for showing us step by step! I usually let the shop handle it, but I might give it a try now! Thanks Kyle. U Rock!!

Great video and information!

Very informative video. After watching a couple videos before this one I’d definitely give this guy and A . Would of given him a A+ if he replaced the pulley and rotor bolts and checked the bearings . Usually if I’m in there that deep I’ll check the brake pads. 1/2 or less I replace the pads. That’s personal preference though. And he may have done those things. But overall this is by far the best video on rear tire replacement I’ve watched. The last video before this one I guarantee that guy is responsible for people’s axles being damaged from watching his video and thinking he had a clue about what he was doing. We aren’t supposed to beat the axles out and then back in. I was taught if you can’t remove it by hand after a light tap or two there’s a problem. He claimed it’s ok if you scuff the tops of mufflers while beating out your axle Because nobody can see them after the bags are on😂I’m convinced just anyone can post videos. A big Thanks You to the producer of this video for taking the time to put the correct factual information out

I Saw a video where he only removed the two bottom bolts of the shocks. After this you can move the wheel up and down more easily. Great job anyway, thanks for the specs.😅

good job Kyle!! Have had a few flats over the years!!

Going to replace my rear brake disk soon on my Road Glide Ultra CVO as it is pretty darn warped. This was helpful as the belt alignment and tension was my only concern. Thanks man!

Thank You for your insight and instruction Brother

That was a operation but fun to watch it’s nice to have the extra hands say hi to Fiona for me another great video

Very helpful.. keep it up. 👌

Great video very helpful 👍🏽

Got it done thanks for this. 🤙🏾

Great video. Without the full tech manual, how can I find the torques for my 17 ultra limited?

I have the same lift table you do. Did you add that stretch metal along the edges yourself?

Could you add a statement regarding the flat area on the axle adjusts the belt tensioner cam, therefore remove the nut and push the axle out. I was not aware of this and destroyed my axle... my bad.

Thank you very good video 👍🏼👍🏼

I have the same harbor freight lift I've used for bikes up to 600lbs. Just bought a Road Glide Ultra and might have to test it at low lift before I trust it. The RGU is 930lbs. Where did you get your lifts side extensions and how did you fasten them? Thanks.

Nice job..what and how did you use to Install your side extension tables on your HF LIFT?

Beautiful Color

Ty!

How to you fix the foot extension on your mechanic table

Had a nail in my rear tire the other day. Was able to jack it up , pull out the nail. Plugged it up real quick and filled it with air. Lucky I have a small air compressor. Let it set for 24 hours. Took it on a good ride and it's holding up well. Nail was in the center on the thick part of the tread. 17 k on these Dunlop tires and still plenty of tread left, I hate to get a new tire. Got lucky I guess. Plugged many a tire and haven't had one go flat yet 😮

Just an fyi, the correct torque for the rear wheel axle on a 2021 Road Glide is 135 - 145 ft-lbs, not 60 - 70 ft-lbs.

My service manual says the rear axel torque spec is 135-145ftlb for a 2021 road glide special

You showed slipping the axle back in but how did you align your marks on the belt tensioner before you tightened the nuts on the outer threads?

How did you get the axle nut off? I’ve been running all over the place trying to find a 3/4 driver for the 1 7/16 socket but it looks like you didn’t hardly have to turn it at all???

hey... I recognized that bridge!

Remove shock/spring assembly from swingarm first, then the bike's suspension can be lowered to get the axle out without removing the mufflers :)

Did you upgrade the tires ? You live close to Dv right

😊👍👍

8:00 hilarious because I didn’t see your helper below the lift but I saw your rear tire slowly moving down.

Anybody ever had that spacer not want to come off? I spent 2 hrs before I called my brorther tolled him what's going on. We spent another hour repeating everything I did and less. Ended up using a GFH and 2x4 tomotivate it to move it moved but by the time it did. the washer destroyed the threads on the axle hammering it off.

Great video! Thank you!

Be sure to check your own sources for torque. Per the HD Service Manual for my '22 Road King, the rear axle initial torque is set to 15-20 ft-lb. Then the belt tension can be checked and/or adjusted, then the final torque of 135-145 ft-lb is applied. The presenter doesn't say what year his bike is, but it does look like an M8 Touring model and the the torque he stated at 14:26 is WAY too low. I'm sure he's right for his bike, my point is though that the number varies and, since it's kind of important, anyone doing this needs to double-check the spec for the actual bike they are working on. The caliper torque he stated also disagrees with my manual, but you'll can look it up. Same message applies. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THE RIGHT TORQUE VALUES FOR YOUR OWN RIDE!

U didn't say anything about spacers/sensor until u put back together, maybe I missed it.

Thank you for the positive content.Next time be clear on content.No tire was removed or installed in video that states tire removal and install.

Lot easier to take bottom shock bolts out.

What do you charge for that?

just put new tires on front and rear. commander 3s tires are real expensive right now i paid 650 for front and rear just for the tires

Every time I torqued camber moved on right side

Why did you do the video from the easy side. You should have recorded the ABS side-that’s the hard part.

So I have ripped apart my bike numerous times and I’m still learning and I am trying to put my rear tire on and that bracket brace fell off for the calliper and it just seems really weird of how tight it is to the rotor. My suggestion to you is go slower. Your camera work is back here over there over here up here and then you’re so close that you’re not really pointing out what we need to be looking at, I’m not the dumbest guy out there but I’m just saying you’re telling everybody that this guy is doing something and your camera is just everywhere. You need to slow it down and show exactly what somebody should be looking at specially space and place and stuff like that.

OK guys does anyone know what the torque value is for a rear axle on a 2014 street glide. Info I am getting 95-105 ft lbs. Can someone chime in?

I specifically asked for the process of removing the rubber from the rim. I don't know why you would even skip this part but whatever

Video is of no help if you’re also trying to learn correct orientation of abs sensor as he had his quiet helper do it without explanation.

what is never sieze

Remove bottom shock bolt and jack bike down. No need to remove exhaust.
