How do you remove rear tire on a Yamaha royal star?

Simple, remove both saddle bags, jack up the bike, loosen the swing arm tent ion bolt ( on the right side) remove the bolts that hold the brake cal. And the bracket that holds it on. Loosen the axel bolt from the left side ( watch the jack height, jack up just enough to take the pressure off the tire) remove the bolt and pull the axel out from the right side ( spinning the axel as you remove it will help) once the axel is out , jack the bike to the highest point and remove the tire(you will have to lean the tire to the side to clear the frame. And that is it. I just did it on my 06 RSTD good luck.
