Insallation of new rear tire

[pegasus1300]

I did mine according to the finless bob video and it worked out well. If working on an RTL with the auto air suspension remember to remove the ride height sensor arm before raising the Spyder. It has been quite awhile since I did mine so I don't remember a lot of pain with the process. I have 32,500 mi om my tire.

$145 is cheap for long island, i had to pay $180 for the dealer to pull it off & put it on & my guys did the m & b.

That’s cheap, just priced a tire change here (supplying the tire) and it would be $250 labor. Doing my own again.

Look at it this way, you didn't have to pay the usurious price for a Crapenda to purchase the Kumho so you're a number of bucks to the good. You want the rear wheel and belt to track perfectly. Pay the $145!

So I did this yesterday. Last time I swapped the tire was about 4 years ago so don’t remember much about doing it. Lol

The video helped a lot watching it before hand.

One thing that got me was not being about to get the brake caliper back on, I had to pull the pads and turn the piston in one turn to get it back on.

Also, even though being careful not to move anything I wasn’t supposed to, and putting back together correctly, I still had to mess w adjusting where the belt rode for a while.

For me it’s good for another 4 years or so.


Taking my time it took almost 2 hours to pull the wheel (from looking at it, pulling out tools, coffee break, etc. to having the wheel off) and 3 hours and 15 mins til it was all back together and adjusted properly.

And to clarify because I know this is in the RT Forum, mine is an ST-S
