may be a pain to get that rear axel out just to prep you, anti seeze when installing it back in. call around lot of shops will mount and balance for free if oyu buy the tire from them

Cool thanks everybody for the heads up. Now just find a decent jack. I want a J&amp\\;\\\\\\;S but its out of my price range.
I wish the local shops would install for free if I bought a tires from them. No such luck here.
Thanks again

 

You can find a decent enough jack to do simple stuff to your bike without breaking the bank.&nbsp\\; YES, even the maligned sears red jack will work, I have one and it is fine.&nbsp\\; You should invest in a shop manual above all else before starting though.&nbsp\\; It's not hard to do but there are steps to follow.

 

I have a shop manual, just not with me currently (work) Plus I have found from past experiences that things my look simple on paper and then you get into it and its a whole other ball game. Thats why I was asking for the experiences of the forum members.
As far as the Jack, I am considering doing this http://www.nightrider.com/biketech/bikelift.htm&nbsp\\;for the short term, considering I have most of the stuff lying around the house and it would be free and saving the money to get a good jack.

 

that will not get you high enough... call some of the metric shops.. they may do the tire change free if you buy the tire from them

 

The rear wheel is pretty simple.&nbsp\\; I doubt you'll have any problems.

 

that home made lift will not be high enough to do take the wheel out but you should build it anyways as i can see it coming in handy for lots of other things

 

Dealership doesn't touch my bike... do it yourself...it's easy

Mark the left and right spacers and such so that you know how to put it back together propery it is simple been doing it for years

 

Well damn guess Ill have to break down and buy a jack. LOL Just takes away from my goodie fund.
