There's no way in blue hell I'd do that lol. Up on the jack the bike goes and as has been mentioned, there are a lot of tools available to make it an easier task. Just my two pennies mind you.

 

what gunner1 said-ride safe

 

I've pulled my motor out to change the oil before, but never removed my wheels to clean them.

 

Thats funny..back in the day when I was riding a 750 honda,I used to pull my motor to clean it..I could have it out of the bike in 30 minutes..

 

Get a jack. Use soap & water & do it about once as month or every other month & they will look good.

 

If you take them off to pollish them everytime, you will get very good at it. Maybe you could work in the pits for a NASCAR team....sorry I couldnt resist. The center stand works great and is easy, jack it up, spin the wheels and your done!

 

You got way to much time on your hands.

 

If I can't get to it by rolling it you can't see it. just ride baby....lol
