how do you remove the front wheel on pre 98 750

[bigtwan251975]

i need to take tire and rim off to get new tires put on but i dont know what to do so what all do i need to do?

[Special K]

Have bike UP on stand or puller or lift for front off ground about 3-6"
Then:
Remove front brakes. 14mm bolts (they have Loc-Tite on them!)
Then:
Pull cotter pin
Remove axle nut. 22m?
Loosen up axle keeper bolt on one fork (runs from front to back)
Push axle out
Take notice of WHICH spacer goes to which side...........Large diameter one which is flatter goes on left side (old speedo drive side from early Kats)
Remove tire & rim. If you're bike is not up high enough you'll have to tilt it to one side as you roll it out.........

Repeat in reverse for install.

USE Loc-Tite on those brake bolts and re-torque to manual specs!

Just a small hijack with a question for Keith: is there a trick to avoid having to take off the bleeder screws from the brake calipers? I need to do it on the left side to be able to slide it out between the disc and the rim (I already scratched the paint on the rim with the bleeder screw trying ), and I hate getting brake fluid everywhere and having to bleed the system. On the right side I can just barely get it off (while scratching the paint, doh). That is with the 88 rim however... the 89+ rims might have more clearance (the Suzuki engineers maybe got smart).

You don't need to take the brake line off, but it is a good idea to support the caliper somehow (hang it in a string or something) to take the load off the line... It might be a good idea to put something between the pads, if you're not sure that noone will touch the brake lever! Better safe than sorry...

ok now how about the rear tire and rim

1) Put the bike on its centerstand
2) Remove the cotter pin from the axle nut
3) Remove the axle nut
4) Make a note of the spacer locations
5) Remove the axle while supporting the wheel with your foot
6) Remove the wheel

Probably because the writers are getting paid by the word. I wish all manuals were written using the "KISS" principle.
