Removing Rear Wheel

Need to remove the wheels on my 03 to have a set of PR 2's mounted.

I have factory luggage mounted. Do I need to remove the right hand side luggage brackets to remove the rear wheel?

Thanks,

Doug

Nope!

loosen lugnuts, put on center stand, take off lug nuts, take off wheel.

As simple as that. Gotta love SSSA's! :biggrin:

+1. In late March I rode my VFR to a local dealer with my tire iron stowed in my backpack. Had a new rear tire on the bike within about 20 minutes. :)

Right on, just put her on the centerstand. Then I like to put something under the cat just to make sure she doesn't tip backwards while the rear wheel is off :ohmy: For torquing the lug nuts, I just put one foot on the rear brake pedal to keep the wheel from turning.
