Hello,
I don't do too much maintenance on my 2nd gen, but I used to do most of the maintenance on my first gen bikes (except for valve adjustments). I need to get new tires, and I've never taken tires off of the 2nd gen bike. I can recall the process is very easy on the first gen bike. It would literally take about 10 mins to remove the back tire. I never had to remove the front tire, but I watch a friend of mine do it and it took about 10 mins as well. Is there a video out there that shows how to do this on the 2nd gen bikes? Is removing the back tire just as fast as on a 2nd gen as it was on a first gen? Looking at the pdf it looks like a couple bolts to remove the break caliber, then remove the axle? Is there anything I can screw up? I have a Venom Front & Rear Motorcycle stand. Do I need to use the steering lift on the front?
Thanks,
