It's about time someone did a detailed video on the 300l rear wheel removal! Thank you so much, you do a great job showing and explaining each step. I have used several of your how to videos on the 300l for reference and they have been very helpful. Thank you!
Very good demonstration. I usually take a moment to clean the axle, wheel spacers, and the hub, and then apply a little bit of grease to each of these parts that ride on the inside of the wheel hub. The grease will help prevent water and dirt from getting inside the hub, and it’s just best for the axle long term. Anyone who’s ever worked on older bikes, will know what I am talking about.
I recently discovered your channel and have watched many of your videos about maintenance on the CRF300L. You have the best instructional videos that I have seen, and I have watched many. I really appreciate what you do and your willingness to share your knowledge and skill with those of us who are just learning! Thank you for making these videos. They are very helpful!
Very helpful video. I like that you didn't take any shortcuts and explained each step thoroughly. The part showing the rotor sliding between the brake pads was exactly what I needed. Brake pads and rotor on my mountain bike can be super tricky and you need to use a spacer. I wasn't sure about how to do it on my motorcycle but your video did a great job explaining. Thanks!!!
Thanks for the comments, mate!! Glad you liked it! That’s the goal! Man my videos on RUclips don’t show the small details and wanted to make sure to show everything!
Thanks for all the great videos. I recently did a 42 tooth rear sprocket and had to remove the rear wheel. Doing all my own maintenance and upgrades adds to the enjoyment of riding. Thanks again!
So far I really like the 42 tooth rear sprocket. It’s not a dramatic change, but I can definitely feel more low end power. I really don’t ride too much at highway speeds, so the top end loss of a little speed doesn’t bother me. It’s super easy to do and I also put an x-ring gold chain on to replace the kinked rusty one while I had the wheel off. Happy riding!
Hi Roia , another great video which I will reference when I need to remove the rear wheel on my CRF300L. BTW - some gloves would be beneficial when handling the chain!
Can you do a video on how to grease the swing arm bearings? And maybe also one on how to grease the headset bearings? Many riders report that their bikes are under-greased from the factory.
nice video. Is it normal that the brake calliper move so much from side to side when taking the wheel off and putting it back on? I assumed it would be locked and "unmovable" (sorry if the question is dumb but I know very little about these mechanical operations)
It's normal. Actually, you sometimes even want to use piece of string to tie down callipers so they do not hang on hose, because callipers will fall off when pulling wheel out. they are not bolted to the swing arm
I recently purchased a used crf300l, and I need to replace tires. It has abs. My question is if I need to remove the abs sensor before removing the tire?
Hi mate, That should not be the case. Removing and reinstalling the wheel will not make you lose the rear brake. Please check and perform the following: - make sure brake calliper is installed correctly. Hooked to swing arm. - brake disk is properly position between the the brake pads. - step on the rear brake 4-7 times. At first it should feel soft(no brake), but after a few pumps it should firm up again.

Hi Larry and thanks a lot for the comment!! Really appreciate it and glad to know that videos here in the channel have been useful to you!
Cheers mate
I liked the detail you showed and the comment about alignment and chain so i can get that correct as well. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
Thanks a lot!

Well explained and a good idea undoing the chain guide.

Nice work!
What’s your opinion on the 42 tooth sprocket?
So far I really like the 42 tooth rear sprocket. It’s not a dramatic change, but I can definitely feel more low end power. I really don’t ride too much at highway speeds, so the top end loss of a little speed doesn’t bother me. It’s super easy to do and I also put an x-ring gold chain on to replace the kinked rusty one while I had the wheel off. Happy riding!
Thanks. Ryan!
I might consider giving it a try next chain/sprocket change!
I put some heavy grease on the wheel spacers it helps to keep them from falling out I also grease the axle so it easily slides in and out.
Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, Adrian!

Hi Chris
Great suggestion! I’ll make this video.
nice video.

No need to remove the ABS sensor to remove the wheels.
@RoiaMoto thanks for the reply. You got a subscriber .
Welcome to the channel!
Just replaced the tube on my bike put the wheel back on and now I don’t have rear brakes what should I do?
Hi mate,
That should not be the case. Removing and reinstalling the wheel will not make you lose the rear brake.
Please check and perform the following:

- brake disk is properly position between the the brake pads.
