Lol he changed it in under 10 min no issues, took me 2 hours and I almost punched my friend in the face
i just take it to be done. doing it yourself is a pain in the ass and its not expenisve anyhow
T lol
john russo after your 4th or 5th tire it’s like tying your shoes, invest in a stand and good irons and you’ll save big bucks! if your cheap like me that is...
Facts lol
Just went through this. Took me like 2 hours too, just to find out I got a pinch flat when filling it up.
Another pro tip for breaking the bead is to ride the bike 15 miles home on a flat.
🤣🤣🤣😂🤣
Facts right there I had my tube pop so I road it a little bit harder and boom the bead wasn’t seated no more
Hey that's what I did yesterday I was no where near my pick up
I did that but it was an accident tho
It also weeds out the weak spokes which is a definite plus
Can’t wait to change my tyre for the first time in the weekend. Hopefully it goes well
Update: absolute pain. Pinched the tube. Stress, blood, tears and bruises. Ended up going to my local shop and they finished the job and did the front tyre for £8 each ($10). Never want to experience that again.
It’s a pain good luck
The key is a good set of tire irons and a good stand. I just changed my front wheel by myself for the first time and wow! no pinch flats!. I bought 2 of the curved type tire irons and two of the straight type.
LOL best comment ever. Thank you for answering my question
Same here,i destroy my tubes front and back, never wanna see that shit
Shops charge 60 for both I’m bought the tools for cheaper Lmaoo
Use a 5 gallon bucket of you don't have a stand... Saves your sprocket and brake disc from bending in the ground
Good idea thank you
That's what I e been using
lay the dirt bike rim and tire on an old front atv tire on a bench. works like a charm
I use my stand
I used to take like 2-3 hours to change a tire (specially the rear) because I was doing it *very* wrong. This time I did it along watching the video. Literally 20 minutes and I was done, no joke. Oh, and I used a big cardboard box instead of a proper tire stand. Never thought changing a tire could be so easy. Thanks for the video!
Make sure you get extra lube on them brake disks
Increases braking power
Wait, 10 minutes and no cursing? Fake news!
Ha ha! Having the right tools for the job makes ALL the difference!
As a 14 year old who has changed 3 paddle tires and 5 different knobies I have learned if you are grunting and cursing at a tire you're doing something wrong
Thanks, Rocky Mountain. I've mounted and unmounted 100's of bicycle tires, but it didn't prepare me for my recent experience changing a tire on an electric unicycle. This saved me from saying "F it" and taking it to the shop. Your tip about the drop center saved the day.
Thia was is a good video.
I just did front and rear on a KLR 650.
I took me a Day and a half.
No pinched tubes! I was Lucky! Not a sign of skill.
But now my speedometer doesn't work.
So I'll have to fix that.
Dustin, you are the Man! This is my 80th Spring! I previously did the insane struggle method...your method with your tools (Tusk 3-pack) (Plus my BeadPro set) make changing bull tough rear knobby changing as easy as melting ice in the desert! Thank you times infinity!
Threw a iron at the wall, tore two tubes, roached two sets of clothes, scratched the wheel a lot, and took 13 hours before I gave up. Pay someone else.
something like that for me too
Hey, used your video to teach my boys how to change a rear tire on a FE 450 today. The process was flawless and we all learned to do it the easy way. Thanks a bunch.
That's awesome! Thanks for the feedback and glad it helped.
That was awesome...I bought the same exact tools, less the stand and I successfully installed two new tires with out punching a hole in my tubes.
WHAT, you didn't set you bike on fire! you have such control!
Tip: i use used tire on the ground to change the tire it helps a lot and you cant damage disc and sprocket.
Tips- let the tires sit in the sun a bit so they are soft. Cold tires are hard and not fun to work with. Windex also works for tire lube. When installing tube tube, inflate until your finger barley puts a crease in it when hanging. I place a trash bag with a bottle of baby powder dumped in it into a bucket and shake it. Helps powder the tube.
Piece of cake! Sure makes a big difference having all the tools you guys have in the shop, if you don't have them get them. It's worth your time and frustration. I like to use the old tire for that wheel as my base to work on. Works a treat and doesn't take up extra space!
First rear tire success, was a little touch and go at the beginning then I soon learnt that small amounts at a time is the easiest way while making sure the opposite side of the tyre is squished into the rim giving you just another gap to get the bead over the rim!! Thanks for the video
I HATE changing dirt bike tires almost as much as I dislike cleaning air filters! If I take 10 min and watch this video each time, I find the process to be much smoother and most of the time I avoid pinching the tube in the process, lol. All the small tips add up to success! Thx RMATVMC!!!
Big help. I will be changing my very first tire using this method and yes....I ordered the tire and heavy duty tube from Rocky Mountain! :) Edit: So I changed the front tire of my Honda crf300l today in 45 minutes flat after watching this video and taking a few notes. There were a few small details which I missed but it got done and I was thrilled with the results. It was my first tire change ever! Thank you Rocky Mountain! BTW I will be purchasing that long curved iron. I now see and understand it's value. :)
I just did my first ever tire change on my 300l today (front)! Unfortunately I didn't watch this first and had some difficulty but got it done. I used a heavy duty tube that had two nuts and a metal shoulder on valve, I guessed that shoulder and one nut goes inside rim and the other goes on outside of rim , I couldn't find any info on this. Anyway I will balance tomorrow and tackle the rear. Went with the Pirelli Rally Cross on front and have the Dunlop 606 for rear. Also added rim locks
The most important part of all of this is to take your time and go easy. Make sure when you start you have an hour or two. If you run out of time leave it for later. I’ve done 15 or 16 of them over the last 10 years or so. Pinched 2 tubes and both times I was in a hurry and not paying attention. Best advice is to put a little air in the tube. Just enough for the tube to hold its shape. I’ve never pinched a tube that had a little air in it. This video is exactly the way I’ve always done it. Once you get the wheel inside of the tire it pops right out.
thanks man for that tip
Great advice. Patience is the key. When you see these videos knocking them out in 10 minutes, it could warp your perspective. Unless you've changed as many tires as they have, it will NOT be fast. Take your time, don't rush, and know that it will probably take you a while. Like an hour or two, or more. And if you have to walk away, walk away. Keep your body comfortable and cool, and if you have to continue tomorrow, so be it. Great advice hoffmanshaven.
and don't forget to apply powder
A BIG thanks for this. I only have limited experience of changing tyres, and I have just changed my front and rear tyres today using this method. I don’t have the stand or the rim tool, but it worked a treat on the floor. And it was far quicker and easier than I imagined. 👌
Dude! I got it in about 45 minutes using prybars and a vice grip. Super pumped! Thanks for the great video
Fantastic video showing how to correctly change a tire (OR tube...) on a dirt bike.... When all else fails, a good size bucket works as a stand... And my personal preference for lube is a nice water/soap mixture... One of the main things that many people may overlook is the actual spoons that are used. Screwdrivers may work trailside, but if you purchase a good set of spoons it makes this 100% easier :)
Appreciate you! My mistake was STARTING with the beadlock. Many pinched tubes and f-bombs later, I changed my brute-force approach following your technique of saving the beadlock toward the end allowing my knee to force the tire into the rim on the opposing side: butter....
Always tried to change my pitbike tyre like I did my mountain bikes... wondered why I swore so much... Thank-you!
Great video got mine off and new one back on no problem. Took me 30 minutes first time going back on with three straight spoons. I love The curved spoon and the other tool you had there. This is essential stuff to know how to DJ
Best video on how to do this. Complete step-by-step. Thanks!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for checking it out!
Perfect how-to! I think this only video I've seen that does it exactly right.
Following along with video, 5 mins to remove tyre for the first time and 10 mins to fit one. Thank you!
This really helped got front tire on in 45 minutes only almost gave up 3 time then moved to the back time worked on it for 2 hours and just about gave up but just at the end we still didn’t get it on.
i just wanna thank you for that technique of putting the tube inside the tire with a little pressure in it. made it so much faster and easier. in the past ive punctured so many tubes but not anymore
Glad it helped!
Thanks Dustin and Rocky Mountain ATV! All those little tips add up to success.
thank you so much for this video this was 100 times more in depth than others and suddenly I stopped swearing and was calm and it worked.
Thanks so much for this video, you guys have the best place to learn and buy all things off road!!! I was worried about mounting these Tusk Dsports as they are so stiff, i used baby powder on tube and windex for lube, worked perfectly.
This method works very well, much better than my old method. Just got done changing a front tire on a cr85. Thanks for the video it was great :)
Glad it helped!
Watched to video and had so much hope....my bike is currently on the stand with no wheels, pinched both tubes going to the shop in the morning to get it sorted.
It can be a challenge sometimes! Don't give up though, you'll figure it out. Once you do, you'll be so happy!
Mate you explained it perfectly I did mine in one go after I watched you video. Thank you so much
Changed my first tire with a help of this video. Thanks!
Thanks dude, had to loosen the Rim Lock and push Up, to get the Tire back in!.......I kinda figured it......but No videos were showing it, just wanted to make sure I didn't have the wrong size Rim Lock or something, Lol.
Yo this actually helped me do my first set of tires last night. The tusk tools are really cheap and useful, just focused on being slow and careful and got both done in about an hr and a half.
Nice Job! Glad to hear it was helpful and that you were able to get your tires swapped out!
Amazing gloss. I love your shop, amazing lighting. Have a great week.
Bro, im pretty sure i died 3 times when i changed the tire and tube on my dirtbike
Works great. I got the Tusk tools shown in the video and it made changing the tires easy.
Thanks for the video, I’ve struggled for years to know exactly how to change a tire and or tube.
Really good tutorial every bloke was telling me gonna take me hours it’s hard this guy made it easy
Finally got it done, thanks. Didn’t have the proper tools but it still worked
Thanks for the great video. You did a great job explaining why you were doing what you did. The two things that helped me the most were:
1) more lube
2) drop center, that really helped get the bead over the rim
Good stuff, thanks for showing the correct and easy way to change your tires, just saying motor on.
Great step by step video. My 11 year old son used it to change his dirt bike tire without any help.
the first time I tried this, I thought perforated inner tubes would enhance tire cooling, at highway speeds. I went through like 3 of them. Then Found out its best to do the tire change while you watch the video.
Great tip! lol thanks for watching
Great video didn't take me long at all! Best way to do it I've seen so far!
I really appreciate all your shop vids. 😀👍
How does the process change on excel rims? My valve stem and rim lock are next to each other.
Extremely well explained, trade school quality.
Hahaha easy peasy lemon squeezzee even an old man like myself can change a dirt bike tire now because of this video!
So many whiny soyboys, if you can't handle doing it yourself just take it to a shop and pay the bucks while eating your vegan lunch!
Thanks for the great upload Rocky Mountain ATV, my only beef with you guys is that you started charging sales tax in California lol 🤣
Instructions not clear, tire went to outer space.
Thanks for the video. followed your instructions and changed both tires on my 23 CRF300l rally without problems. The front bead doesn't seem to want to seat 100%, no matter how many times i mess with it, maybe riding it on the dirt will seat it 100%?
thank you so much! your tips made it 10 times easier!
This helped me with drop center part I didn’t do that before and makes the prices much easier
Best tyre change video by far, well explained and perfectly done!
Thank you!
i have a 125 and i got the same tires, Michelin Starcross 5's for both front and back, when i changed the tires and tubes and then inflated them, why is the bead partially sticking up from the rim, the bead of the tire is raised and is not resting flush against the bead of the rim, is there any advice you can tell me because im worried that will eventually pop the bead of the tire off completely lol
If any of you have 1/5 scales and ride, the tusk stands work well for a stand for the losi 5t.
Why no mention of rim strip, its purpose ,and being able to use tape if you dont have one?Also I prefer to inflate tube quite a bit first to insure even tho it may be new, it has no leaks, then delate it to slightly inflated before install.
i followed you step by step plus i had to talk dirty to that rim and that tire slipped right on😁👍
Obviously this How-To Video was meant for me, considering I’m also installing a set of Starcross Mediums on my RM-Z 😂🤘🏻
Perfect! Glad it helped out!
I watch this every time. Thank you! Still don’t have proper lube lmao
I spent a shit ton of time changing a tire tube just to accidentally pop it when seating the tire on the bead. Then have to wait 2 weeks to get another one because rona has all the shops closed.
Same thing happened to me. rip 33 dollars I have the tire done just a popped tube
Same
Multiple times
Yup, round 2 tonight. I think partially inflating the tube will make it easy.
@20Ian Jury Did you use a set of screw drivers, forget to apply baby powder to the tube, forgot to partially inflate the tube, did not lube up the walls of the tire, or failed to look where the tire iron was seating the bead of the tire causing a ripped tube? Get the right tire irons, bead tool, partially inflate and baby powder the tube (get a Ultra Heavy Duty tube for beginners), and avoid touching the tube, should be pretty easy under 45 min.
This video was honestly extremely helpful
You can use a rubber mallet and hit it on the last bit,saves leaving marks on the rim with the tire levers.
Most definitely the most helpful video there is out there thank you
What if the bead isn’t perfect? What about if didn’t came out just in one small part? Does that affect something important or is just aesthetic?
Thank you! Your videos always help so much
Installing a Tubliss/AT81 tire so I can ride tomorrow on my te300. Last time I tried this was on my SX250 and it took hours just to end up pinching my tube giving up to my local dealer 😂
People who know how to do this make it look so easy. Without experience, trust me, it's NO JOKE. The first tires I replaced were PW50 tires. I almost cried, destroyed the old tire, and started to bend the rim. That was without tire irons, and destroyed almost every screwdriver that I had. That was without any video tutorials, but I BARELY got it done. The next was front and rear on a KX85 after watching a few tutorial videos, like this one. I didn't almost cry, but I did sweat like a SOB, and boy was I tired. I'm psyching myself up to tackle front and rear on a 2002 XR250R. Let's see how this goes. I know it will NOT be easy, but I feel confident that I will get the job done. I've got a little experience, 4 tire irons, and even more tire replacement videos watched.
Tryna buy dot tires for my ktm 450 but not tryna get rid of the ones I got and don't want new rims so ima have to keep switching them up
Of course you do a demo with the Michelin Starcross tires. Much easier than others. lol
Great tire installation tips - Thanks !!
very professional, thank you!
How do I correct a bead that won't seat? One side of wheel is fine the other is sunk near the bead lock. Tia
Rim guards needed on black or coloured rims unless you want to damage them! By the end of this video you can see that the rim is scratched most of the way around.
Pro tip: work on the brake side of the rear tire first, not the sprocket side. Your knuckles and fingers will remain unmangled.
Good tip! Couldn't agree more!! -Charles
Best tire changing video and the best comments for sure!
Where does the QC mark go? At the rim lock or across from the rim lock?
You guys are such an awesome source 👍
So i bought your spoons and a Shinko 804 for my DR650, everything went smooth and fairly quick, with a heavy duty IRC tube. But seemed like about a 5 inch spot wasn't fully seating when i inflated it, that line on tire was giving me a hard time popping out. i deflated several times and finally ok, never heard that pop when inlflating though, would you have a words of wisdom on this? thanks
*Double x* - Did you tighten your rim lock down before inflating? That usually will cause the 5 inches you're seeing to not seat. If that wasn't the case, what you ended up doing would be the way to fix it by deflating the tube again and maybe even applying more tire lube to the 5" area and then reinflate. Thanks for watching our video sir!
I never want to do that again lol. Thanks to this video though, I got it, painfully, but I got it. I’ll take changing a car tyre on a machine any day hahaha
Much easier after watching this video. Thanks!
Well explained thank you a lot
I ride the Dunlop d606. Believe me, it isn't as easy as shown in this video!!!
There's direction arrow on each side of the tire but they point in different direction for rotation
thank you ! very helpful for me
A tip for everyone is that before you start you should heat the tire by putting the tire in the sun or standing it in front of a heater.
Easy peasy! Just takes time, patience and practice!
Best video on this topic.
Thanks for this video! I wouldn't have been able to do it without it!
Glad we could help!
The washer that comes on a tusk tube.....where does it go? inside or outside??
nice video man well done and thanks
If you get a nail in your tire and have to change the tube, do you also have to repair the hole on the tire as well with those tire plugs - like those they use for tubeless tires? And if so, at what point to you do that - before or after the tube change? is it better to use the bacon strips kind of plug or the slime?
No plugs, just take the nail out and put the new tube in. I always check the inside of the tire to make sure everything is clean and nothing else is poking through. -Charles
