how to remove rear tire to patch tube 2008 honda rebel 250

l think you will find that it has a tubeless setup as they do not usually run tubes in those bikes. Your gonna need a beadbreaker for a start, your better off takin it to your local bike shop! Only cheap and you wo not get any busted knuckles!!

Yep, dealer item. You can do it but why? When was the last time you fixed a flat on a car tire?

It is cheaper if u take in just the wheel instead of the entire bike.

Put the bike on a crate or stand so the back tire is elevated. Give the tension bolts on both sides of the swing r about a half a turn counter clockwise. Pull the pin out of the rod & unscrew the nut. It should be on the left side. The nut will be very tight most likely so u may need to get an adjustable or socket on there & give it a few whacks to loosen it.
Now u can shimmy the rod completely out of the wheel. Get the chain from around the sprocket & bring the wheel to the shop.

In reality though doing it yourself only saves u about 5 to 10 bucks. If you're a do it yourselfer it is just something to do to be a part of the process.

l doubt there is a tube in a rebel tire & patching a motorcycle tire is never a good idea.

Do not patch the tube - replace it!!!
