Author Message   Eviltwn996 Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 01:27 am:        I probably know the answer to this question but I'm gonna ask anyways. Can you use a swing arm lift to remove the rear tire on the XB's? I have a 2008 ULY and I don't have the type of jack needed to lift it under the muffler.   Ourdee Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 05:06 am:        You don't have a crank up jack in your car?   Tastroman Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 07:18 am:        As the above poster said, any car scissor jack will work, you only have to get it a couple inches off of the ground to remove the wheel.   Steveford Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 08:17 am:        If your swing arm lift goes under the swingarm the answer is yes. I use a Lockhart for the rear.   Ratbuell Posted on Sunday, March 25, 2012 - 10:53 pm:        My pit bull's work fine on the XB, tubers, and 1125. Just position it so the ears on the stand don't block the axle, and remove the lower belt guard FIRST, before you put the lift in place.   Eviltwn996 Posted on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 - 08:35 pm:        Thanks for the info. I'll make sure I remove the belt guard.   Froggy Posted on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 - 08:51 pm:        No need to remove the belt guard, but it does make it a little easier to work with everything. I just remove the pinchbolt, put the bike on the stand, and then remove the axle and out it comes.   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - 09:56 am:        Gee Frank...I thought you just kicked your XB onto its side and worked on it that way   Uly_man Posted on Thursday, March 29, 2012 - 01:27 pm:        "I probably know the answer to this question but I'm gonna ask anyways." If I make a bacon sandwich will I EAT IT? I am going with Voltaire on this one.   Pkforbes87 Posted on Sunday, April 01, 2012 - 09:22 pm:        The Uly is SO easy to work on! I had a flat rear tire a couple years ago 500 miles from home. The bike was about 10 miles from the nearest dealer. I laid it on it's side in someone's yard, pulled the rear wheel with the factory took kit and my Leatherman Skeletool. Reinstalled later with some ancient dried up wheel bearing grease and my trusty German torque wrench - "gudentite". Redid everything the right way once I was back home with access to a stand, anti-seize, and a torque wrench.
