See the link below:
Full disclosure: I have a fair amount of shade-tree mechanic skills. However, after watching my dealers shop do my TC I decided that for me, at 67 with a bad back and knees, I would continue to let the dealer handle this particular job!
Enjoy!

It is somewhat involved ... more than any other bike I ever had ... and do watch out very much for that ABS sensor ... that arm it is mounted on bends easily ... ask me how I know

Changed my tires about 6 months ago. This bike will be my last tire change because of how difficult it was. I will let someone else do it from now on.

The front looks easy enough. Rear not so much.

Buenas, yo hace 3 meses hice el cambio por unas llantas de 18 detras y 21 delante y no vi mayor complicación en

grupos sobre esa musica, gracias.

"Graphic Arts Mechanic" and "Dark Country"; maybe Google translate is broken or you have successfully broke the Internet...
I have the Model B, and playing music while I'm riding is a huge part of the enjoyment I get when I'm out on my bike..
I stream my YT music, which I've downloaded on my phone in order to maintain music in areas where cellular coverage is spotty... I'm not sure, perhaps Alice in Chains and Sound Garden falls under dark country music...
Graphic Arts Mechanic... Did you fix pens and pencils, or really poorly done artwork..??
Anyway.. We're both way of topic concerning the removal of the R18 wheels; but, this is a new thread, which could have been avoided all together if the search function was used...
