How do you change the rear tire on an 83 Honda Nighthawk?

I have an 83 Honda Nighthawk, and need to change the rear tire, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!How do you change the rear tire on an 83 Honda Nighthawk?if the bike has a center stand, get it up on that. If it doesn't, you'll need to improvise a center stand, or use jack-stands to hold up the rear swing-arm.



with the back tire off the ground, loosen the chain tensioner and alignment screw on the opposite side.



Then you can remove the axle, and the wheel comes right off.



Your best bet for changing the tire itself is to take the whole wheel to a shop. They'll have a machine to seat the new tire correctly. If you want to do it yourself, it's possible, but not easy.



Then reverse the steps above, and be sure to align the rear tire properly!!!!!!How do you change the rear tire on an 83 Honda Nighthawk?you throw it away.. its way to old for usage any more
