Changed my rear tire for the first time by tipping the bike on it's right side and it was a bear. The old tire was hard to pull out and when I did the rear dropped some and had to jack up back to get the new tire on. Do I have to shim the rear bottom of engine while it's laying down or what is the proper procedure. Don't think I will do that again unless there is something else you do than just tip it on it's side. It wasn't too bad lifting it back up but was hard enough. Did it by myself with my butt against the seat and pushing it up with my legs. Not something I would want to do every day. Anyone got a better way. I have a hitch on the back and figured this would be quick and dirty. Turns out it was mostly dirty. Jim
