Troubleshooting
Tyre levers are difficult to use without damaging the rim.
Ensure you are using the rim protectors to shield the rim surface. Start lever placement away from the valve stem and work in small increments.
Slide hammer not engaging or pulling effectively.
Confirm the slide hammer is securely attached to the component you are trying to remove. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the attachment point.
Tyre gauge provides inconsistent readings.
Check the gauge's connection to the tyre valve for leaks. Clean the valve stem and the gauge's tip. If the issue persists, the gauge may need recalibration or replacement.
Axle nut tools do not fit the nut properly.
Verify you are using the correct size and type of axle nut tool for your specific motorcycle model. Consult your bike's service manual.
