Front and Rear Wheel Removal - Big Deal?
I'm trying to save myself a few bucks and a lot of inconvenience by taking my wheels in for new skins rather than leave the bike all day.
Am I better off to just take the bike in and let the dealer look after the wheel removals or is this task farily straight forward and can be accomplished without the need of a torque wrench? Thanks!

not a big deal, put bike on centerstand and car jack under exhust.
my jack drops over time so I put front axle back in and use a jackstand under the front axle untill wheels are back on. after riding for about 25 miles or so ck rear lugs again.

Shadowrider look in your manual. It should explains what to do.
02 VFR: Thanks for the tip. I just removed both of mine for a tire change. Always block a floor jack or use jack stands. The latter being the preferred safe way. Remember to reapply the loctite. Reg
