Hey Keith, thanks for this video. I just also removed the rear wheel to change tire.. I miss a bit the right order to mount back the rear wheel and the order to tighten things back.. so this is how I did it. 1. Put the rear wheel back into place and line up the gears in the shaft. 2. Put back the axle from right to left of course. Ensure to insert the washer in the right place on the right side between the caliper and the swing arm. Align the abs cover correctly with the brake caliper. 3.First tighten the axle nut (27mm) so that the wheel gets pulled into the shaft completely.. tighten the axle nut at the left side while holding the axle with a 19mm hex tool in the axle on the right. Tighten using the wrench by hand. 4. Then fasten the pinch bolt on the right to secure the axle. 5. Then tighten the axle nut left to the specified torque settings. 6.finally tighten the bolts for the caliper rod + place back the abs sensor. I hope this is the right sequence to ensure the rear wheel gear is fully inserted into the shaft by tightening the axle nut before tightening the pinch bolt on the right. Greets from belgium and sorry if I misspelled some terms..

That looks about right. When I first put the rear tire back on I had a real hard time with the axle as I was putting it on backwards! My lesson: if it doesn't go on easily, recheck it, something is probably wrong. Thanks for putting the sequence down.

Enjoy your Super T!

You can use two nuts doubled up in place of a hex/Allen key. If they don’t like up well, experiment with small diameter washers or a metal sleeve between them. Need a long bolt or better some threaded rod. Of course best would be the proper tool. Nice tutorial thank you!

I got the full impact allen head socket set at Harbor Freight 6mm-19mm for $29...Just mounted a set of Dunop Trailmax Mission tires on my S10...

A few tips: use a broad flat screwdriver to ease the hub out with the dampers in place as you slide the rear off the gear. This will save the headache of them coming part way out. On the rear brake, no need to loosen it, just knock it up out of the way, it will stay put and save you the hassle of it dropping and wrench work. A torque wrench is nice to use, it’s alllll aluminum! Double check those front pinch bolts, they like to escape the bike (as do the brake and clutch lever pivot bolts) Lastly, great time to play the spokes to check for tightness.

Going to take my front wheel off tomorrow. First thing I'll have buy a 19mm hex head!

In the 80s we were grateful to have air tools, today people are grateful to have power tools, this channel "I still have a 1980 craftsam ratchet! As do I :P For the front axle nut I always just weld a nut onto a bolt as each bike seems to be a bit different, then use a wrench or socket to remove :) I also found that just taking the rear torque rod loose from the caliper made life wayyy easier. I also just removed the front caliper, why does youtube insist on fighting instead of simple removals? Otherwise Nice vid, I lost my manual, thank you.

Tip: Do NOT trust hydraulic jacks. Put something solid under the bike. Don't ask me how I learned this valuable lesson with my Super T. And no its not much lighter with the wheels off :-). I now use a wooden stand I built the fits under the skid plate and holds the front wheel about an inch off the ground, rock solid.

Hi, I did a drive shaft service and I put the washer between the wheel and caliper, not in that way like you show (min 3:23) , so I have that doubt, what is the correct washer position? No wrong function was felt, so I´m very confused 🤷‍♂️

There's a set of short 3/8" drive allen sockets at autozone that has a 19mm in it. It's a lot easier than trying to use that piece out of your WR kit.I'm gonna run the E-07s next on my Tenere, too.

You can also use a short piece of 3/4" hex bar stock (which is 19.05mm), and a 19mm or 3/4" socket on the end of that. My Vstrom front axle used the same size, and a local machine shop let me paw through their scrap bin.

There is a similar tool (to the one from the WR250R used in the video) in the S10 tool kit.

A couple of things... 1, you need to make sure that the little notch thing on the ABS "plate", both front and rear, get hooked by the tab or they will spin. (poor explaination, but you will know what I mean when you look for it). 2, the rear axle didn't want to come out so I used a 3/4" dowel as a drift pin to hammer it out. Then for re-assembly, I coated the axle lightly with anti-seize compound so it will never happen again.

Did you notice any vibration in the handle bars and foot pegs? Also, did you find any issues with the tires slipping in the wet weather?

that's a great question. I haven't ridden the bike in three months, but I remember that the tires did not excessively vibrate on the street. The Mitas tires really felt like street tires. On another bike I'd used the TKC80, which admittedly are more aggressive, and you could feel it. Not the Mitas. I haven't had any issues in rain with the Mitas, nor any fading or slipping issues. The only thing I haven't tried it in is mud and I don't suspect it would do very well. But I don't think any 50/50 tire is going to do well in mud.

Hi Rob, sorry for the delay in responding. I have mounted all my tires with a No-Mar system a friend has. All of these tires can be a bear to get onto a rim and seat the bead properly. I don't recall the Dakar being any more difficult than the others we have done. Lately, when we have been installing the tires, we have abandoned the No-Mar tools and gone back to plain old tire irons for the final bead. They work much better. So that reinforces to me that you could take this tire off and on while on the side of the trail. I would recommend having someone with you for assistance.

Ha, ha, the rear wheel was a real pain to get back on, but that was my own foolishness. For some reason I thought the axle went in reversed and I couldn't understand why it wouldn't go fit going through that way (with the axle nut on the right side). Otherwise it was pretty straightforward to line up the shaft drive and the caliper. That's a great tool to use for the front axle. I didn't think it was too hard to just remove one of the front calipers vs removing the fender. Thanks for the comment!
