Number 1 tip, do not give up. You may end up really really regretting that. Do you mean the frontmost one very hard to get at, and you did the other two? My bike is a bit different but I'm pretty sure it is possible on any V11 without removing the wheel. Maybe you should get another nozzle for you grease gun. Failing that, removing the wheel is actually no drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasotibbs Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 yes ido mean the foward.the shaft&rearhave been doneonce a year.;last time the wheel was off-i forgot!i just can not figure how to do it with the wheel on.you are right the wheel is coming off.are the cut-outs on the housing protector differant sizes?i suppect that when the recall was done the mechanic put it back in the wrong position. 00v11s By unbolting the driveshaft from the final drive and then rotating it until the grease point is facing upwards, with the shaft hanging as low as the swingarm will allow its possible to thread a flexable grease gun hose up the tunnel and with patience guide it into place with your fingertips. Getting it off again is worse !! It may be possible with the wheel on but having the wheel off gives more room to move and as the weight needs to be off the rear suspension anyway (to get the swingarm low enough) by the time you've got the rear in the air its only one more bolt to get the wheel out and you can remove the final drive and rear half of the driveshaft by removing the centre grease point (to release the suction) and sliding it off the spline(which saves you the job of unbolting it). Sounds complicated but its quite quick once your used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
