Default Rear Wheel

Had to put a tire on the back of the "M" this weekend. Dealer wanted $140.00 for the tire, and $60.00 for the mounting and balancing if I brought it up to them.

I found a Dunlop K555 for $117.00 out the door, got the owner's manual out and started removing the rear wheel myself. Took about an hour to get it jacked up and removed. Took wheel and new tire to the dealer and was charged $30.00 for mounting and balancing, that's a savings of almost $50.00 plus I learned something about the bike.......How to take the rear wheel off.

BTW.....Like the Dunlop alot.
