Was out today and caught a puddle or two. Meh.
Got home and cleaning the bike and wanted to get swingarm area done so whipped out the wheel.
Not only was it horrifically dirty but DAMN the wheel is a bloody nightmare to get back in. Bloody chain adjusters all over the place, impossible to fit caliper bracket.
Not hard, but ewwwww

The horror.
I love eccentric chain adjusters for just plain,simple ease of use. One of Kawasaki's better ideas imo.

I used a paddock stand when I removed my wheel,now I've bought a ABBA stand so I'm hoping next time will be less aggravating.
God knows how many wheels I've changed over the years but I've never struggled to install a rear wheel before...

Has to be an ABBA stand on the MT07 as the paddock stand bobbins go through the spindle, so they come off first... I bought the Abba stand kit when i first got the bike.
I was thinking of a few things last night, one is using some insulation tape on the chain adjusters to hold them in place. The other i was wondering if I can remove the caliper from the bracket as i do on the ZX6R, both would make things just a little easier to relocate things.

Tip it upside down like we did on push irons
I honestly did see a pal do that at Elvington one race day
