Came here after I was struggling to get my wheel back on due to not seeing the block which locks the caliper in place. Good detail and very helpful video

Glad it helped!

There is a 27mm & 22mm wrench under your seat for this very application. It helps if you slip a bar over the end of it for extra leverage.

​@@brandonduckworth8836 on my z750 2008 there is tool bag that comes with the motorcycle from factory. It's located on the left inner side under drivers seat,try to look it up on Google for your bike

thank you, just followed your instructions and switched out my rear tire without issues. What I did was sit behind the wheel on the floor and push the tire up with one of my feed. Shortened the whole rearrangement part to 2-3 minutes to get the rod in

Good videos on this subject. Just used them while replacing my z900 tires. Putting that rear tire back on was a PITA.

Jees! That looked like a real struggle! Thanks for doing the video, very informative. Heres a tip to make it a little easier next time. Before you take the wheel off, shim up with different thicknesses of timber boards from the floor to the tyre, so they just touch. Then when you go to refit just have the exact shims handy to place under to the right height. Saves time and effort. At least in one direction anyhow! Thanks again

Sory but a very messy work. Like the grease is all over the place, you probably accidentaly touch the diskbrake with a greasy hand and thats not good.. Remove the brake caliper next time and it will save you from struggles

nice! thanks for sharing!

Sooo I have a z800 and lost my spacer on the caliper side any idea what part number it is?

Not to be a nit picker but you are using that Pitbull stand incorrectly. When using the standard pins on the swingarm, the pins need to be oriented high side up. This prevents scratches to the swingarm and more stability because the red tabs are up and tightly against the swingarm preventing side to side movement better.

What caliper block? You moved a camera but never showed it.. You are also suppose to lube the spacers I believe.

you are strugling a lot remove break calipers and abs sensor from mount its easy and safe to any way good job bro

I did this, and now my speedometer is having issues, it jumps around about plus/minus 10mph from where it should be, and doesn't seem to go above 55 now. Have any ideas what I could have done wrong?

All bikes have the speed sensor in a different location, for example my cbr has the speed senor over the counter shaft which sits on top of the transmission. The z900 may have the speed senor over the pulsar ring that is located inside the rear brake rotor. You can see it in the video its a metal ring with little rectangular slots cut evenly all around it. A sensor will be facing some where over the ring. On my cbr that ring will give the imu information for the abs brakes and traction control. On the z900 it may give the information to the speedometer. Make sure this sensor isn't lose or damaged in anyway from the tire change. I hope this helps, Dr. Speed Lemon.

@@dr.speedlemon739 thanks for the reply, turns out on my z900, the speedo sensor goes through the brake caliper, and was slightly damaged from me putting it back together missing a spacer.
