Changing my Yamaha Roadstar front tire. I've seen very few cruiser video's. Most are sportbike tires which seem to be much softer. Note: I don't use a tube even though I have spokes. I've sealed my rims with silicone: http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y188/djtate/Sealed%20Spokes/

  • At what time was it? I assume it was air being pushed out through the stem.

  • Great stuff. I didn't know you could go TUBELESS without getting a different rim. Great "How to" video

  • Thanks! Yeah, I have a link on the right showing some pics on how I did it.

    My first attempt lasted 14k and almost 3 years. I replaced it since I found it to be loose and moisture caused rust on the spoke ends. This time my front tire had a leak that was easily fixed by taking off one side of the rim. See the first pic for the leak.

  • Nice job…I struggled with the second bead on my tire since my tire spoon doesn’t have the large curve. Did you ever figure out what that air sound was coming from?

  • Nice job posting that up so others can learn from. I recently started doing that. I may use your technique here on my 99 Honda Aero 1100. Tired of paying stealership money every 4 months for a change. Be safe bro. Thanks again.

  • @sooaai only kids go to the desert... to play on their toys that they havent fully paid for yet...

  • @IRONMAIDENFAN2006 and when you're alone in desert? ;-)

  • Cant belive some people take rotors off..Waste of time . Extra work.

  • Good job.. thanks for sharing

  • and this is why you go to your local mechanic pay him a few bucks to do it in 30 seconds.. people dont be cheapskates
