Thank you formthis video. It‘s so fun to watch you americans prefere electric tools while we europeans prefere manual tools, especially while working on bikes. Happy Nee Year!
few tips ; the right side collar wasnt up againts the bolt in the video??? - so the rear wheel is not straight. you can use a ring fork or something else and put tension between the chain and the rear sprocket, which will tighten the rear wheel up so that you avoid it not sitting up against these bolts before tighten the nut :) and before you tighten the 4 bolts at the front axle, sit the bike down and pump the front fork a few times to get the fork legs to seat correctly and not point in or out.
Great video. But wondering if you have suffered with the front bounce at around 35/45mph I’ve yet to take the front wheel off the check the rim? Thanks in advance.
*hello there, not trolling, a humble question. dont you think it could be useful to make sure the front suspensions run parallel? I mean, just tighten one side of the pinch bolts, push the handlebar with your weight forward to "self align", only after this exercise, tighten the pinch bolts on the other side? "asking for a friend" lol. cheers.*
That is a good practice. However, since the axle was torqued first this ensures the forks run parallel due to the axle being tightened against the spacers. Not all bikes cam use this method so it is a very good habit to jounce the front suspension.
Thank you. I am assuming you are asking about the torque wrenches, They are Cornwell tools. And I'll be changing the chain and sprockets soon, and I'll be talking about the adjustment.
That front tyre is dehydrated within a year … i got hairline cracks next to the rim… bad in the front, what is your experience with this pirelli in the front?
You are 100% correct. I did in fact torque the front incorrectly, I went back and torqued it to the correct spec. However, I forgot to put that note on the video. Solid catch.
Great instructions and a sense of humour to go along with them. Nice Job!
Not an off road guy, so you bought an Africa Twin. I think I've subbed to the right channel.

Thank you, happy new year to you as well. I never even noticed that until now.
Thank you for the video!! I changed my tires using this video. 👍
Good video, a good reference for motorcycle tire replacement.

Noticed this too. The bolt and collar although small components have a gaping space between them it's showing on video xD
Excellent video, thank you! Keep it coming.

Thanks in advance.
Yes I have. It was one of the many reasons I decided to change the tires. It helped a little, but it's not completely gone.
Front wheel axle torque is 60nm ??

Друг, у тебя хороший динамометрический ключ. Ты делаешь всё красиво и правильно. Подскажи, сколько момент затяжки болтов траверсы?
Why do you have to remove the brake bolts?
nice work what brand for your torq and we need to see chain adjustment thank you and

Front wheel torque 65n.m
48lbf
Rear wheel is 100n.m

I really can’t understand why the AT has tubes… Can you imagine doing all this out on a trail???
At least if you damage your rim you can still get home. Saw it happen and a few weeks ago and the ride just continued as nothing had happened :)
You didn’t even mention what are the sizes of some of the bolts
the tires r not junk mostly like pilot
Yeah I guess junk was a bit harsh. I was just not a fan of them.
Why are you using hydraulic jack.... Put the bike on side and remove wheel easy this is for riding not for polishing and watching
bullshit of bike without tubeless tire in 21 century....
Tube tires can have more impact… so no bullshit at all.
