Tubeless Motorcycle Tire Change: Tire Changing

[jettastreetracer]

Ok, I must have done something wrong. Lol my bead isnt setting when I put air.

[danielkim98]

What is the brand name of the window cleaner you are using? Is it like Windex? A Glass Cleaner?

[zerobounds]

is there any chance of the tire tearing along the lip? Everything is really easy up to getting the 2nd side of the tire on and it just seems totally impossible to get it on past 60% of that last side..

[RockyMountainATVMC]

@zerobounds - Yes there is a chance, but it is greatly reduced if you do it right. The key is to keep the tire on the opposite side in the drop center of the rim (as much of the tire as you can). This will allow enough room for the tire to slip on/off without damaging the bead. If you damage the bead, you most likely are using too much force and not enough technique.

Yes sweet video. Is the rear tire as easy as the front?

[2487mpobor]

fantastic.....great video.... and extremely usefull information.

[electricman2170]

good, informative video. first i heard of the dyna beads

[RizzoRat]

Awesome video, very informative. Looks a lot easier than changing a dirt bike tire with a tube. Maybe I'll start doing my own street tires...

[modernblacksmith]

thanks, I'm changing a front tire today, I usually take it to the shop but thought I'd tackle it again...big job but with the rim protectors it should be better, I'm going to make some from a bit of old air line and make sure to put the string on it in case I loose it in the tire!!!

[KaldekBoch]

Thanks guys. Ordered my spare tires and the same kit you list in this video and successfully changed my first tire ever! JakeWilson is awesome!

[catseatcheese]

Very informative--answered a lot of questions. Thanks.

[busaga1]

thats a lot of work

[mooosestang]

You make this look so easy. I just removed the rear tire on my buell 1125cr and it was a pain using two of the rubber handled tire irons and one of the curved ones. I could have used another curved tire iron.

[tn66367]

Not sure why you marked the rotor where you could see it. Write on the friction part of teh rotor or use tape. Poor situational awareness. Start with wood blocks to protect your rotors next time. Rest of video was nice.

[mooosestang]

Great demonstration, but I think i'll buy the cyclehill tire changer! I don't have the patience to use hand tools.

You guys rock, by the way. Placed my first order with you for tires and got a great deal. I'm also going to use dyna beads instead of static balancing.

[therising1]

AWESOME video. Thanks for this. You guys have great prices for doing these tire changes at home instead of paying a shop. Good savings for a track day hero!!

[bobodd5]

rear tyres not easy only if you are mike tyson

you need weight on tyre and takes a few goes at the top

[Pwn00b]

How do you seat the bead at home? It seems like you need a pump that moves a lot of volume. Can it be done with any compact device such as the compressed air cylinders / bottles (like soda bulbs) you get with tyre repair kits and the like? I have an adventure bike that uses tubeless tyres and I am wondering if I can seat the bead with the tools I can carry, I have a 12V electric pump but its a bit like an asthmatic blowing through a straw. So I am considering going back to tubes.

[paddysboys]

great video thanks for posting

[everynameseemstobe]

so the dyna beads fasten themselves to the inside of the rim to make sure it's equal weight all around?

[linoleumcarving]

what would it cost to have two tires removed at a shop. ?

[JakeWilsonVideos]

It depends on the shop.  Call a few in your area to see.

[modernblacksmith]

@linoleumcarving on the bike would average around $100 (around here) and depends on the bike...

Best tire change video on youtube,... but putting Dyna Beads in through the valve stem is a royal pain. It's much easier to dump the Dyna Beads in the tire right before the the final spoon on. :-)

I've chanced motorcycle tires 3X now, and it get's easier each time. Not to mention it saves a load of money over having the dealer do it.

Also do not buy Motion Pro Rim Savers they suck and fall apart after a few uses.

Use the K&L Rim Savers they are superior quality and cost less than the other.

[40RLH]

Watch the Motion Pro rim protectors carefully in the video. When you pinch them against the rim with the tire iron, they turn to garbage quickly. If you choose to buy them anyway,.. that's fine. They are good for 1 or 2 tire changes before falling apart, the K&L Rim Savers are good for 100's of tire changes.

thank you Jakewilson, But I cant hear English.
