Hi,need to take my wheels off (2009 vfr 800 abs) to fit ne w tyres, removed many bike wheels over the years but never one with ABS is there anything special I need to look out for when removing the front wheel,or any tips. thanks.
Nothing special in the service manual, pretty straight forward. Some will only remove the right caliper others remove both. Personally I've always removed both. Pay attention to the front axle spacers (collars). One is larger than the other.
Pretty simple even for non mechanically inclined peeps like me. I have ABS. I just follow the instructions in the manual and had no problems what so ever, I just removed the one caliper as instructions suggest. While you have it off, give it a good spray in the caliper area with some brake cleaner....why not. Aslo if you are puttin gon new tires, get rid of those pain in the ass valve stems and go with angle stems. They are cheap enough and should be replaced anyways on a tire change. Your knuckles will love you for it.
