You should ALWAYS remove the rear ABS sensor BEFORE removing the wheel, so as to avoid damaging the face of the sensor when pulling the wheel from the swing arm. Many owners and shops have made this mistake.... :-(
As long as the disk was between the brake pads, the sensor was not going to be anywhere near a danger zone. I could see your point about being careful more on putting it back in afterwards though. At least on this bike there is a ton of clearance.
@@YouMotorcycle Clearly, you are aware but some folk aren't. Takes about 5 seconds to remove the sensor and can save a lot of $$. The ABS and speedo play up when riding in the rain once the sensor face is damaged. I've repaired a few sensors using a thin layer of epoxy to seal the face of the sensor. :-)
Not going to lie, I've been missing the borders being open. I have a bunch of credit with Amazon USA, and shipping costs are so much higher having them ship to Toronto, whereas I can pick it up in the US at my PO box for cheap!
Yikes, I cringed when I saw you put a steel bar in the end of the axle to tap it out of the swing arm. Man, if you even slightly damage the lead threads on the end of the axle, you will no longer be able to start the nut in it when you go to reassemble the bike. A better method is to unscrew the nut till it is flush with the end of the axle, then tap it out with a rubber mallet. ….NEVER on the exposed threads. Once it is broken loose, you can ussually pull it through from the other side.
Axle wasn't sliding, basically locked in place, could not be pulled out. Mallet could only get it about an inch out so that's why the bar came out. Bar was much thinner than axle so nowhere near any of the threads, though I'm not sure how it could have touched threads even if it was thicker

Must be picking up some now, we are getting a lot more riders around here. Will be crazy when the border opens up again !

Do you make any trips south of the border for two-wheel stuff?
@@YouMotorcycle No, that is all pretty much behind me now. My wife does not dig bikes or boats... she likes my old pickup truck though : ]
Hmm.. can we just get a new wife or do we like this one???
@@YouMotorcycle- LOL, she the best one yet brother !
😆 this reminds me of when my local mechanic knocked my bike over when hitting the axle out. 😬
Dude?! That sucks! I hope he made it right with you. How does that even happen? Jack wasn't on solidly?
@@YouMotorcycle it couldn't have been. They didn't charge for the labour & they replaced the dials for me because they smashed when the bike fell.
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs bummer but glad they made it right. Hopefully that was just a random freak occurrence and not sign of incompetence.
Watashi wa!!!!!!!
What? 🤔
@@YouMotorcycle you heard me
@@Louis-kp7pz I sure did! I just don't know what it means 😂

Whoops,, left off a detail. Once the axle has broken loose, remove the nut fron the axle, then pull it through.
