Honda ST 1300 How to fix a flat tire (rear) 

Carlos... I just pulled the rear wheel off my ST1300 - just a couple of hours ago actually. My man... next time just remove the rear splash guard. It's four bolts. This bike was designed to be serviced for road side emergencies like flat tires. I mean this is one way to go about it, but you could have saved your self a little time effort by following the recommended procedure. Thanks for the informative video. Great starting point for those curious about changing the ST1300 rear tire.

Cheers Carlos, I know a little about parts but having just got an ST I had no idea how involved this was. Thank-you for doing this video, I've learned a lot ;)

Thanks Carlos for the video, had to change a tire at the shop and the caliper retainer clips were given me trouble with the reassemble, your step by step was very helpful. Cheers

Thank you Carlos. Just paid $350 for a rear tire with installation. I'm thinking I should learn to do it myself. Your video will help.

Excellent video most informative.remember to add fresh moly grease to the splines.

The last rear flat I had was from a chunk of metal in a 700 km Michelin Pilot Road 3 at the side of a highway 30 kms from the nearest small town. Dude with an empty utility trailer stopped and gave the bike and I a ride into town. With no motorcycle shop or tires available, plugs were the only solution. They work when needed but on a heavy, fast bike like an ST1300, a new tire is the only answer.

Great video. My only recommendation for you is to use some grease on the axle (big bolt) and maybe clean and lube the spline gear (the tooth part on the rim that looks into the swing arm).

Who cares what the pieces are called, the video is excellent and will save me precious time and money. Carlos, you are the bomb!

During the reassembly I take something of equal diameter of the axle shaft to help position and hold the brake caliper in place,so when i drive the axle back threw from right hand side to left hand side it (The Axle) pushes it out. On my tool kit that is included with my CBR1100XX it is one of the flat handles that is on one of the spanners.

Thanks Carlos, I'm gonna have to remove this wheel every 10000 miles for a new tire anyway.You just saved me fifty bucks at least. Good job, you should have been a teacher. Or better yet,Go get your teaching certificate and start teaching our kids, or young adults.

Thank you Carlos, you made it look easy.

Hey Carlos, the next time just take the four allen screws out and remove the back splash, it will save you some time.

Excellent video. Thanks for posting.

I always look at this video anytime I need to remove the rear wheel to do a tire change...I need the refresher each time!

Great stuff,, I learned a lot now ready to tackle job. Many thanks

Thank you for the awesome walkthrough!

An excellent video. Thank you.

Thankyou, really helpful and well explained 👍

Thank You for the video! Very helpful!

Thank you for posting this very informative video Carlo.

very useful video. thank you!! yesterday i just got flat..... :D

Thanks for the video, would you mind letting me know where did you buy your crash bars? The ones that protect the bags

thanks for the lesson! and I think its not one man only job.

Very helpful, thank's Carlos!!

Good video for the rear wheel/tire and all, but cant believe you plugged a motorcycle tire. Hope it holds up

Great vid.I would have just maybe/not remove rear brake/rego holder & repair puncture without taking rear wheel out.I like simple things so maybe jack up rear wheel & repair puncture without removing anything.I have done two puncture repairs without removing anything.A lot quicker especially if on the road.

Fantastic Video my Friend

Thanks, very helpful!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

I remove the exhaust bolts - leaving the clamp bolts alone (as they are often difficult to shift) and am able to push the pipe up just enough to be able to remove the axle bolt. This is much easier. I take off the rear numberplate holder first.

were did you get your crash bars in rear and hwy way pegs

Under no circumstances would I plug a motorcycle tyre, if you have ever tried to control a motorcycle with a puncture on the rear you will know what I mean. A front wheel puncture is not controllable no matter who you are. Guys it's not worth it, just fit new rubber. 👍.

Thanks for the info

well done buddy

Great vid, where did you get the rear crash bars on tour ST1300?

No need to raise up the rear wheel on wooden blocks. Much easier with adequate clearance with the bike just on the centre stand.

Hi Carlos, I see you have tip over bars. Can you tell me where you got them?

Thank you för your vidio

I removed all your thinks both the rear calliper wont came off. Is stuck

👍
