Forgot mines not got a disc guard which needs to be off to fit the wheel It should take seconds if you know the technique if not you're doing it wrong..

Ok, removed the disc guard and it came apart just like discribed, thanks.

Next question is on the wheel bearings, I bought a set from my local supplier qty 2 for the rear but noticed online they called out for 3 bearings? 

2011 models required 3 bearings and a bushing.Subsequent years required 4.

Mines 2 on the drive side and one on the brake side!

 ok, got mine rear wheel apart and it too takes 3 bearings. 1 wide and 2 narrow on the drive side.....I’ll be calling my supplier in the am.

Next question i have is on the front wheel, what’s the best way to get the axle out? I have everything apart but the axle seems stuck in the wheel bearings, the axle floats back and forth in the forks but tight in the bearings.

thanks in advance,

Phil. 

Sounds seized.....time to get the big hammer out

Ok, I got it, can’t believe how rusty the axle and bearings are for a 2015!!!

Need help on suspension now....

does anyone have oil weights and amounts for the Marzocchi forks and the Ohlins rear shock?

HI bearings last about 10 mins if the bikes been powerwashed they.re cheap so mot really a problem. flick out the rubber seals on the hew ones and grease before you fit them helps a lot..

If the seals are ok on the forks I wouldn't rush to change the oil they're tricky for the home mechanic better get the shop to do it unless you're really confident as mistakes can be expensive. Oil will likely be 5 weight and you'll get a measurement from the top of the fork tube rather than a quantity because they're hard to drain the oil  out as I said they're tricky.

Rear damper unless it's leaking leave alone should be fine on a 15 bike unless it's been hammered, Any work on this you'll need a shock specialist no really a DIY job.

Anyway stop fiddling with this thing and get out and ride it.f

 Drop the shocks off today at the rebuilder,  $200 for inspection, oil, seals and a new bumper/ co2 charge.  After removing the forks I noticed the headset bearings feel dry and notchy....looks like that’s coming apart next. Sorry Breagh, got to go through the thing before I work it over....or it works me over. Lol.

I cannot believe that a 2015 ohlins shock needs a tear down, they are the best shocks around, I think you may be wasting your cash here

Completely agree

Your probably right, but with the swing arm bushings being shot I had everything apart so I figure I might as well have it freshed up.... It’s piece of mind for 75$, preserve that expensive Ohlins shock.....

What is everyone running for gear oil? my supplier said to use type F automatic transmission fluid.

thanks,

There is another thread on this.

    Of course, I forget the brand/type I’m using at the moment. I’ll try to find it and update this.    note the gearbox oil lubes the main bearings on this bike, so I would make sure to use a good full synth oil and change often.

I decided to try out Maxima lite 75wt gear oil, saw were a few guys recommend running 75wt gear oil over atf...... I have a foot peg question, will Explorer pegs fit on a tr? If not, does anyone have a recommendation for aftermarket pegs that will fit properly? 

Thanks,

phil
