Triumph Rocket 3 Roadster rear tire removal

2015 Triumph Rocket 3 Roadster rear tire removal. I couldn't find any videos showing how to perform this job when I did it myself for the first time last year, so I promised myself I'd video all the steps when I had to do it again. Sadly, got a nail in fairly new Avon Cobra rear tire, so it's time to make a walkthrough guide. Hope this helps other Rocketeers who are thinking of tackling the job on their own!

Couple things...only 720p due to free copy of Lightworks (and sorry for the weird fuzziness once in a while...LG G6's "video stabilization" apparently isn't the best option), and if I was to restart this job again, you'll see fairly early in the video that I jack the bike up to the middle safety detent on the motorcycle lift. I think I'd go for the top / highest detent instead...would have made getting the tire out from under the bike easier at the very end of the video. I'll undo my safety straps and jack it up to the top detent before reinstallation of the wheel...should make it much easier.

Another tip... Someone on the forums who'd seen this suggested a great idea for how to make installing the exhaust easier. Leave the brackets on the mufflers, and only remove the bracket from the bike, then wiggle them off the crossover pipes below the bike. Leaving the brackets on the mufflers makes it a lot easier to reinstall! You'll see this at 23 minutes on my reinstall video, located at:

And lastly, I mentioned typing out a walkthrough guide in the video, you can find that at:
