Repair or replace a punctured inner tube

  1. 01Move fully clear of traffic, switch the ignition off and support the Street Bob securely.
  2. 02Remove the affected wheel only with the exact service-manual procedure and the fasteners confirmed on the motorcycle; arrange recovery when that procedure or those tools are unavailable.
  3. 03Fully deflate the tube, protect the laced rim and lift one bead without pinching the tube.
  4. 04Remove the puncturing object and inspect the tyre, rim strip, rim and tube. Patch a serviceable puncture or fit the matching 100/90B19 front or 150/80B16 rear tube.
  5. 05Refit the bead, inflate gradually and verify an even bead line. Reinstall the wheel to the exact service-manual sequence and torque values.
  6. 06Restore brake pressure, set the documented cold pressure and complete a slow recheck before returning to service.

Inspect drive-belt condition and deflection

  1. 01Switch the ignition off, select neutral and secure the motorcycle upright where the rear wheel can be rotated safely.
  2. 02Inspect the full belt for cuts, cracks, missing teeth, edge wear and embedded debris.
  3. 03Apply exactly 10 lbf with the belt gauge at the model's inspection window and compare deflection with the exact owner-manual table.
  4. 04Do not adjust from a generic value. Obtain the exact service procedure when deflection or alignment is outside the model-year limit.

Isolate the battery safely

  1. 01Switch the ignition off and follow the exact owner-manual seat or side-cover removal sequence.
  2. 02Disconnect the negative battery cable first, then the positive cable.
  3. 03Keep both terminals isolated from the frame and each other while work is underway.
  4. 04Reconnect positive first and negative last, then confirm the motorcycle powers up without a warning or hot connection.
