Motorcycle Repair: flat tire, honda shadow, shively

Question
I am a mechanical dummy.  I bought a 2000 Honda Shadow and it has a flat front tire.  I cant figure out how to remove the front tire to install a new tube.  Cant drive it anywhere to get it repaired so must do it myself.  I have bought a new tube and have changed tubes on autos before.  Thank you very much.

Answer
Hi Ken,

Your motorcycle doesn't use tubes. Tubes are obsolete, like I'm becoming at 43. : )

Visit the following link for general info on changing tires.

I recommend the service manual for specific instructions.
