Hey, we've got this nice Z900 from Kawasaki and want to show you how to take off the front wheel and put it back on. Let us know what you think of the video
Thanks for the video bro I appreciate your time and effort and you people if you don’t have any good comments to make don’t make it if you think you’re better than this guy make your own video
@@motorcyclemaintenancechann2131 your video helped me alot. i also had to use something as a lever kind of like the skateboard to get the rear axle lined up. I used a shovel. I'm going to invest in an motorcycle engine jack. I think it was almost needed to be able to lower the bike to make easier reassembly. Hey because of you man i was able to change out my rear tire for this riding season! thanks again! not to many z900 vids out there for maintenance guides.
I would have at least checked the feel of the wheelbearings. I would have checked to make sure that that directional tire was on in the proper direction with the arrow on the tire. And I would have cleaned, and re-greased the seals that ride on the spacers. Always grease seals to keep them from failing due to lack of Greece.. be sure to use the proper Greece. Greece is not Greece… There is white lithium grease, which is not for this job, there is low speed wheel, bearing grease, then there is high speed rail bearing grease for spindles on cars that have disc brakes.. also, always always be sure to put the valve cap back on the Schrader valve. Because centrifugal force can compress the spring in the air valve, letting air out when you hit bumps or when you go very fast. You will not pass täkō inspection to get onto a race track for track day or for a race if you do not have the old caps on your valves… I watched this video because I have to put a new tire on a friends 2022. Z 900 Kawasaki. The front tire is almost down to the cords at 3600 miles because of the high speed rating which gives you less tread, and a softer rubber compound that the street just shreds… what was the speed rating On that tire, they sold him? I needed to see which direction the axle spins to remove it. Got it
You are a greasy mechanic. That tire, and nearly everything you touch has grease on it. This can't be good for many reasons. There are also missing steps, such as re-greasing the spacers. The guy who lends you this bike to work on is either crazy or has a death wish.
