Thanks for your video. I got a new tire put on last year and didn't think to have the final drive oiled. I don't have much money so this helps me avoid bringing it back for service.
Thanks for the tutorial. Just changed my tires on my own for the first time, couldn't have done it without this video. One thing that was different on my 2003 vstar was there is no pocket for the rear brake drum support bolt to set into. They must have changed that on later models.thanks!
Great video! Thanks for all the little details and tips. Just got this bike for my wife, and need to change the back tire. But, nice to see how you do the front too, in case I need to put new pads on later. Thanks!
Very nice video. One thing though, the final drive assembly has more splines that are critical to check for dryness. These seem to be the ones that cause failure the most, and the final drive should be taken apart to check for grease.
For all y'all new riders , y'all will save a few bucks by just changing your own tires. And y'all keep on enjoying the wind therapy and being safe out there.
This was exactly what I need to know. It was very helpful. And better than another one that I saw on here. That dude cut out some parts. I needed to see everything done. What kinda grease didja use ?🤔
Thanks! Getting ready to have tires installed and I need to get my wheels ready for carry in/drop off install. Watched a few videos and yours is very detailed. What lube should I apply to the final drive? I have low mileage on a 2008 V Star 650 (2,500 miles) but the tires are old and I’ve read it’s a good idea to lubricant the final drive when I have it apart. Any particular grease?
Welcome. I don’t lube the drive shaft but do put a little coating of grease on the rear wheel hub splines. As for the final drive oil. I couldn’t help you there. Best bet would be to call a Yamaha dealer and ask. Hope this helps. Ride safe.
I’ve got a 2015 650 Custom. Removed the wheels for rubber, got them back and installed them last night and now I’ve lost my speedo/odo/trip and gained an engine light, which I’m assuming are correlated because nothing else was touched by wheels and minor clutch adjustment at the hand control. Took the front wheel apart and cleaned up around that speedo housing and but still nothing. Any tips?
