Posts: 117 Spring Hill, Tennessee | Service manual says to remove right side brake caliper, but not left side. My question is "why do I need to remove the right side?". Seems by just looking I could remove the wheel without taking either caliper off? Can anyone clear this up for me? Thanks in advance. |

| Just did mine a month ago and never touched rotors. I did mark wheel spacers. Depending on how you get the bike off the ground maybe you have to |

Posts: 8144 New Bohemia, VA | Durn, I've been doing it all wrong all this time. I take off both calipers each time I remove the wheel. Now there's approximately 2hrs of my life I'll never back considering it takes about 3 minutes each time |

Posts: 763 Anderson, IN (48mi NE of downtown Indianapolis) | I changed my brake pads and rotors last week. I did not remove the calipers. I did remove the front fender because I left the bike low to the ground on the stand. I have removed the front wheel in the past without removing the fender though. Not sure why the manual says to remove those parts. |
