It should remove much the same as the Sprint ST, GT, or Speed Triple. I just looked it up for those in my Haynes service manual that includes the Sprint ST & Speed Triple with the Tiger 1050. Wow…is the Haynes manual ever a piece of sh***.

Someone on this forum www.tiger1050.com should be able to answer your question from experience…there are many TigerSport riders on that forum.

 

...I had a similar question and went on youtube. On there was a guy with absolutely nothing to do one morning at 5:30 and he recorded a video of taking his wheels off. He made me a pro, all the while saving me $120.00 for wheel removal at the local shop.

 

Hi thanks would you have a link to that youtube vid, as i can't find it.

 

...here is the video I used. He has over 250 videos.

Remove the clip and loosen the huge nut. Then the wheel pulls right off. Just pay attention to how it all came apart.

 

Thanks very much for all yr replies. Job done.

 

Hi folks,

Has anyone come up with a solution other than a 46mm socket for wheel nut removal. Is there anything out there that can be easily carried on board for emergencies. Maybe a short 'spanner' that can be tightened and loosened with the aid of a hammer or the like.

Thanks, Simmo

 

I have up on large sockets and have been simply using an adjustable wrench.

You can easily undo the 46mm nut with a "flogging" spanner and a lump hammer. The problem arises when re-fitting, a torque wrench and socket is essential to tighten the nut up correctly for your safety. So for emergencies a breakdown truck may be best.
