when you guys remove your rear wheel on the R1, do you unbolt the rear caliper first? there are 2 bolts that you can remove... i think im going to start taking this off, and then hanging the caliper before i pull the wheel and the caliper bracket off. this way its easier for me to reinstall the wheel and the bracket.

also, what are the torque specs for those 2 bolts?

Torque Specs:
2 x caliper bolts:
Longer bolt towards the front of the bike is 27Nm or 20ftlb
Shorter bolt towards the rear of the bike is 20Nm or 16ftlb
Axle nut is 150Nm or 108ftlb

I would undo the caliper and hang it out of the way before removing the wheel, just to make it easier when you slot the wheel back in. :p

i left the caliper and bracket intact, but it was a PITA to get back on. next time, it will be easier, and just as fast to undue it.
