this is the extract from the post mate. the talk about removing the wheel is to do with his cb13..reading it back I thin I misinterpreted it..its just his bike. Strange really, I mean, when do I ever get anything wrong...

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][/color][color=rgb(51, 51, 51)] When replacing the wheel I did actually use an upside down shovel under the tyre as a sort of crude adjustable wedge..[/color]

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][/color][color=rgb(51, 51, 51)] My mate has a Honda CB1000R and that is a delight to take the wheel off..[/color]
[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][/color][color=rgb(51, 51, 51)] Its a single sided swing arm and the wheel is removed like you would remove a car wheel.. It leaves the chain AND the brakes alone and in situ..[/color]
[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][/color][color=rgb(51, 51, 51)] That really is a brilliant design..[/color]
[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][/color][color=rgb(51, 51, 51)] However all is not well in the CB1000R world..[/color]
[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)][/color][color=rgb(51, 51, 51)] My mate is having starting issues.. Its well known about on his forum but so far there are loads of theories but no one seems to have come up with the definite cure.. His bike is with Blackpool Honda at the moment, and it seems they are scratching their heads.. They've put new Iridium plugs in (Bike has done 21,000 miles) . I thought those VERY expensive plugs were meant to last ages ?? Still not cured though. I fear they are going to replace more and more parts till they "happen" upon a faulty part.[/color]
