I am going to put a new tire on the rear of my ps250 next week. I have shop manual (that thing sucks), but was wondering if any of you had any experience doing this and might want to share. I am just removing the wheel, a shop will actually change the tire for me and I will put it back on.
Thanks,

You have to remove exhaust can, probably loosen disc brake, one rear shock and remove entire rear swing arm.
It is possible you might need bearing puller too to remove the tire off the shaft.
sh**ty work.

What a pita. Had to take the freaking body off again to get to the shock top bolt. Needed a puller twice - once for swing arm and once for wheel. There is a bushing on back side of swing arm that does not show on shop manual so if you take it off be careful and write down which way it goes back on. I didn't assuming it would be in service manual - that manual is the suck. I swear I will wear this body out with all the on and off you have to do to work on it. Rear brake pads look very good.
So both stock tires DOA at 7400 miles, along with front brake pads right side.
Best mileage ever 65.25 mpg.
Shudder is coming back in clutch when acceleration from standstill. I hate it. Guess I will do some more goggling and see if there are any other suggestions for fix. Seems cleaning out clutch area works for a week or so - have done that twice (once a removal and clean up, the other a blow out when I changed the rollers, hoping that was the problem).
The wire connection to the plug in the rabbit cage is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY too hard to work. All the other plugs are very easy, but that one takes me half an hour each time - thinking of replacing it with something not so tuff to work.

Changing rear tire is a walk in the park compared to, for example, changing brake oil and coolant.
Took me WHOLE DAY.
Incredible. Like they intentionally made it un-serviceable.

brake oil?? Are you talking brake fluid? I was wondering about doing that - looks like you have to take covers off front top to get to the brake fluid reservoirs- I kinda want to do that anyway - haven't been in there yet.

Yeah, in USA it is called brake fluid, we call it brake oil over here.
Take a look at "my thread" - "Just bought People 250S"... it is described at very end...
