How do you remove the rear wheel to change tire on a 2013 V7 Stone without removing the Rear End? The tangs from the Cush drive appear too big to slide the wheel out of the swing arms.

Rear Wheel removal on a 2013 V7 Stone

Leave the drive connected to the gear ring, and remove from the rubber cush bumpers, which should drop out and allow removal. It's all a bit fidgety and annoying, but it works. This is how I do it any way.

How do you get the cush bumpers back in with this technique?

yes, you can remove it without removing the final drive, but perhaps you should take out the final drive anyway to lubricate the splines?
Give it some thought. Here's my tutorial, for what it's worth: flickr.com/photos/sign216/sets/72157625569987011/

I'll try it that way next time I have to mount a new tire. Either way sounds frustrating just to put on a new tire.
I think Luigie was asleep at the drafting board when the figured that one out.

Completely agree about Luigie, he does seem to get all the blame. Unfortunately the small blocks have been like that since day one. I usually remove the left shock to get a little more wiggle room, and then stick the rubber cush pieces in place with RTV on assembly.
When re-installing the rear wheel I know the rubber cushions can sometimes be a pain, but if one was dislodged would it stop the wheel from going on easily? I aligned the tines and started slowly then it popped right on the rest of the way. Am I being overly anxious?
I removed the rear wheel of my chief's Breva 750 quite a few times and did it this way: motoguzzimaintenance.wikifoundry.com/page/Breva+750+Rear+Wheel+Removal

It is one thing doing it in a nice clean workshop, another doing it by the side of the road in the rain and dark......worth carrying a tin of tyre weld to reinflate a puntured tyre in situ before taking it to get a proper repair

I remove the drive shaft because I like to lube all that spline junk in there. I think in the long run it's easier to just remove the entire drive unit. It's very easy to fit the rear wheel to the drive unit and roll it into place. I think it's better in the long run and those splines need the lube anyway.
Only thing I've wondered about is do you tighten down the axle or those 4 nuts first? I try to go back and forth between those two items for fear of ending up with the drive shaft being torque to one side or the other somehow. May not even be an issue but it did cross my mind.
