I just found a screw in my back tyre, when I unscrewed it to nearly out air started to leak from around it, I've ordered a workshop manual but it hasn't arrived, the owner's manual gives nothing! I've repaired tyres on other bikes but this is my first Buell (non-chain drive with tensioner) is there an online manual anywhere or does anyone have a step by step on getting the tyre/wheel off and on please? | ||

Thanks, I was worried the tensioner was spring loaded! |
