Hi,

I take it from your reply you don't have a centre stand ?

If you do, it's a case of slackening all the relevent wheel nuts off first, putting the bike on the centre stand, putting enough weight on the rear seat & grab rail (couple of bags of cement for example) so that the front end is lifted off the ground. Then slip the axle bolt out and remove the wheel.

If you don't have a centre stand, you need to use a trolly jack to raise the front. Put the bike level with a wall and get a mate to raise the bike upright, put a block of wood under the front of the engine in a "suitable" place, jack it up on the wood to raise the front end, then rest it against the wall (in 1st gear) and remove the wheel.

The reason you slacken the axle nuts off first is because the leverage necessary to loosen them can pull the bike off the stand.

Good luck, and let us know how you get on.
