Author Message   Interceptor Posted on Monday, May 14, 2007 - 11:40 am:        I am wondering how the rear wheel is mounted? Does the axle go in from the left side and the nut is attached on the right?? Or are there two nuts, one on either side?   Surewin Posted on Monday, May 14, 2007 - 11:56 pm:        Um, what model of bike? If its an xb then the axle goes in from the right and threads directly to the swing arm, with a pinch fastener to hold things tight. Hmmm, now that I think about it. I bet its not an xb and you are probably wondering how to go about breaking one of the hex fasteners loose. Am I right? If so, lots of wd-40, and don't force things. Good luck.   Interceptor Posted on Tuesday, May 15, 2007 - 09:51 am:        yeah my tuber. I dont have a service manual and am trying to see how hard it will be to change out my rear tire. I *think* that on my bike, the axle goes in from the left and the nut is on the right. Does that make sense?   Surewin Posted on Tuesday, May 15, 2007 - 07:21 pm:        surewin=ignorant. Sorry.   Djkaplan Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 03:45 pm:        The rear axle goes into the left side and the nut goes on the right side on a tuber. There is only one nut - don't lose the washer and lockwasher. The front axle is opposite of the rear, it goes into the right side and the nut is on the left side. It's easy to remember if you realize you are always handling your nuts with your right hand... ...that pun was intended, btw.   Interceptor Posted on Friday, May 18, 2007 - 11:49 am:        lol thank you. if anyone wants to send me the service manual section for adjusting the belt, after re-mounting the wheel...that would be awesome. fullclipz28@aol.com   Djkaplan Posted on Saturday, May 19, 2007 - 12:15 pm:        If you don't mess with the locknuts on the adjusting bolts, you won't have to re-adjust the belt. I don't have a scanner, but if there is any info you'd like from the service manual, I could relay it to you. You just know I'm going to tell you to buy one, though, don't you? The manual is invaluable and a great read with very clear pictures and illustrations. I found the plot to be a bit rambling, though...   Firemanjim Posted on Saturday, June 02, 2007 - 12:22 pm:        There is a copy of the S-1 manual right here in the Knowledge Vault,look at Owners/Service manuals section.Same procedure for all tubers, basically.
