Thank you very much for explaining so professionally I will change my tires myself thanks to you in Miami they charge me 300 dollars to change the 2 tires on my 2011 Yamaha Rider it is a lot of money😊😊😊
You can use a long zip tie to hold the caliper bracket in place when getting the wheel to go in place. Then cut the zip tie once you have put your bolt in the wheel.
I have the 2008 model which, I assume, is the same thing. With stock mufflers, which I kinda like, it is much more difficult to reach the right side of the rear tire. But, thanks to your video, I have decided to let somebody else do this work. This is another reason that these videos are valuable. Thank you so much.
@@TheTSFChannel You really don't have to release the tension, believe me I've done the procedure without relieving the tension. I didn't think it could be done without relieving the tension but it absolutely can. Saves 2 steps. Relieving and re-tensioning...
I just subscribed Your videos are the bomb I picked up a brand new left over 2015 RAIDER in August of 2018...I'm digging you bike, looks awesome I'm going to be doing the exact same mods...lol, starting with exhaust and tires...keep the vids coming I'm looking forward to the handle bar mod...
Thank You I could not figure out how to get the Caliper bracket on for the world. When I was younger I might have got it on using my muscle but i am 65 so his was a much better way to go.
I just wished that we could get a 35% instead an other 40% witch raise the bike about one inch. I automobile we find this easy. I don’t know why can’t we get this with bikes. Here in Montreal it’s hard to find bike shops. Dealers don’t do mod on bikes. Down the states there is a tone of it because it’s hot all year long. Here it’s season pleasures and not worth it to open that kind of shop. Just grinding the guard for clearing the edge of the tire, dealer won’t do. Pisses me off. If only a could be allowed to cross the borders but I can’t. I really envy you guys down there.
Great video. Love my Raider! Also running the 240 rear tire. Good choice. I think we have the same exhaust also. Freedom performance sharp curve? Awesome sound on that monster motor!
@andrew walker I run the Michelin commander 2 and I think they have a new model out now also. For me and my riding style it’s a good compromise between grip and wear.
TSF Channel I would love to get drag bars for my 2012 Raven Raider S but I love the look of the stock risers and since drag bars wouldn't line up in the middle where the stock bars are the stock risers would not connect to them.
I was really interested in the LA Choppers 5.5" risers for 1 1/4" bars (amzn.to/3DYyj4X). I liked the idea of more pull back with a straighter drag bar, but with all the crap I have mounted on my bar, and after swapping the grips to these black, Kuryakyn Grips (amzn.to/3SZXqZq), most of the real estate on the bar is taken, and black. Photos here: facebook.com/groups/YamahaRaider113/permalink/10159878889178162/ There's a RUclipsr in Europe on a Harley Breakout. His cockpit is clean even though his cables are routed externally with a drag bar. You get a good look at it here: ruclips.net/video/FgwI3HT4T2w/видео.html
@TheTSFChannel so why not show the profile from directly behind the bike, which is the best angle to show tire width? Lots of wasted time yapping on your channel. And why the foul mouth? I didn't want to read the tire size on the sidewall. I wanted to see the rear profile on the bike, but it seems to me like you intentionally cut out for some reason. Anyway, I won't be wasting any more time on your videos.
@@rhino6350 There are so many photos of Raiders with 240 tires to look at. 🙄 Sharing mine would look just like the others except my plate would also be in view, and I can't allow that. Anyway, buh-bye...!
Thank you for sharing. I have a 2012 yamaha stryker. Would you say most of the process of removing both tires be similar? Also the link for the front Dunlop tires are no longer available for sale. Is there another Front Tire you recommend?
It's not an issue. She refuses to ride since the kids. The 240mm tire raises the back end some, so I'm looking forward to dropping in that slam kit sometime this winter.
@@TheTSFChannel can you make a video on how to change the rear blinker? One of those things snapped off and I can’t find a video anywhere online on how to fix it or swap it out.

Great video but you are not showing off the width of the tire from behind and low. You keep cutting that out or skipping it. Watched this 2x waiting to see how much it fills up the rear wheel well from behind. Take 10 steps back, get lower and show us that fat rear.
Awesome video! I got a Raider a few months ago & want to do mods. Do you have a video on your exhaust? What kind? & how to? Did you have to re map the fueling?
cvining33 Yes you can, I have a 240 and the Barons slam kit.on my Raider. Go to the Road star Raider forum, there are plenty of pics of slammed Raiders with a 240. www.roadstarraider.com/index.php
I have an 09 Raider and frequently ride with my girlfriend on the 240 rear tire and it’s not even close to having a clearance issue. Granted she’s only 100 lbs but still there is plenty of clearance.
I have a 2007 yamaha v-star 1300cc and I'm currently running a tire size 200 on the rear. Do you know if I could run a 240 on the rear without doing any major modifications?

I own a 2008 and look for a 2017. I’ll wait next year for that. I’m so sad that they stopped doing it. It is almost a perfect bike if it wasn’t for their shitty horns. On the highway we can’t heard them. I’ve changed them last year and try the screw adjustment but they don’t get louder. HD the king? Not in my book. Japanese build better bikes.

Your stock muffler comes off super easy. You just need to remove the rear half...

Great video thanks. After doing a belt adjustment, I normally tighten the nut securely, lower the bike to weight on wheels, then torque.

Thanks for posting this video, it really helped me when I removed and re-installed the front wheel, on my '06 Yamaha Stratoliner!
Awesome!
I wanted to install the 240 but changed my mind. Maybe next time. That’s if I keep my Raider then.
Thanks for the video! You actually don’t need to loosen the belt tensioner's though...
Check page 4-32 of the service manual. "Removing the Rear Wheel (Disk)," Step 3. How else do you relieve the belt tension to remove the wheel?

I'm doubting its a 240 after no money shot!?! Why would you cut out every direct shot from behind the bike to see tire width?
At 30:53 during the rear brake install, you can read the damn tire size on the sidewall 🤣

I haven't researched the Stryker and its build. I would search Stryker forums, FB groups, and other social networks for Stryker specific info.
Are you using the original rim which came with 210mm tire for 240mm?
Yes
Excellent Video, Thank You!!
You are welcome!
What happens when you put mama and storage on the back and your weight just your shock question
It's not an issue. She refuses to ride since the kids. The 240mm tire raises the back end some, so I'm looking forward to dropping in that slam kit sometime this winter.
I have an ‘09. Dont they come stock with a 240 like the V-rod? I could’ve sworn my rear tire is a 240.
Nope. A 210mm. That's why the Breakout looks a little more buff.

Good lookin bike! Do you think I can put a 240 with a slam kit on? I have stock rims.
Hey thanks! Yes, plenty have PCS slam kits or others. I plan on dropping mine a couple inches to makeup for the additional height the 240mm tire gave.
