- This is a DETAILED video of HOW-TO change the Front Tire on a Yamaha V-Star 1100 motorcycle. It includes 1) Items you will need. 2) Step by step procedures. 3) Torque specifications.
Excellent. Video Mr Byrd’s. Please don’t ever stop making them.
Glad to help Rob.
It was time for me to replace the tires on my Vstar 1100, so this was very helpful. Thank you for making the video.
Glad to help.
That was very helpful video thanks! I was standing in the garage with my phone figuring it all out today and when replacing the wheel I was double checking torque specs etc. and it all worked out fine thanks to your video. Easier than expected.
Glad to help....
Clean, clear, and informative. Thank you!
Glad it helped.
This is a great amazing video. Such excellent detail Sir. I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you for making them. Truly thank you.
Glad to help :-)
Hi there. You do fantastic videos. They are excellent. Please keep up the fantastic work.
Thanks.
Great video thanks
Hope it helps.....
Thanks u saved me a lot of time
NICE JOB THANKS BUD.
Thanks, hope it helped.
if you pushed the opposite side of the area you were fighting into the middle of the rim that last little bit would have went on a lot easier, the idea is to get as much of the tire as you can into the deepest part of the rim to give the tire more room to go over the rim
That works on other tires but I can't seem to get it to work on these vstar spoke rims. I guess I'll keep trying. Thanks.
if you have to, squeeze it down into the rim with a C clamp or slip a pull tie around the tire to hold the two beads together, iv been mounting tires on my vstar 650 classic for 17 years the problem was a pinched tube once, my fault for not inflating it enough when mounting that last bit of tire
I use those tire clamps, and the rim looks to be inside the tire. But in times past that still just doesn't give me enough play to get the tire on the rim. With tubeless tires (and their deep "drop center" I've had no problem).
the tire doesn't have to go all the way to the center of the rim, it just has to go below where it would seat no more than an inch down i would say would be enough, if a tire is being a real pain i'll warm it with a heat gun if i have to, i did that on a small scooter tire once. what a nightmare that was, the tire was close to ripping
I'll try, do you just push it with your hand or use something else?
Thanks a lot....very helpful
You're Welcome :-)
You're welcome.
Well done video. However, it made me want to pay the $30 for the shop to mount and balance if I bring the rim and tire in to them.
In my older age, sometimes I bring it to the shop on the rim. Working with tubed tires is a drag.
Nicely done
Thanks.
I would not change a tire and use the old inner tube and I don't know anyone that has a tire changer in their garage.
The valve stem is matched up to the yellow dot, which is marked on the tire. So, where on the tire do we mark the yellow dot?
Huh? Line up 3 things 1) Yellow dot on tire, 2) Valve hole on rim, 3) Valve stem on tube.
great video - 1 question - no anti sieze lube?
Actually I've given up on changing the front tire on the V-Star. It's the tightest fit of all my bikes. I can waste 4 hours trying to do it myself or pay $50 and have a shop do it. So I've been taking it to the shop now. The rear tire I still do at home.
How much psi did you have to end up using to get the tire to bead up.
Don't know the exact number, but let's say around 20 lbs over.
@@Byrds1967 mine i gov to 80lbs on the front and still didnt pop on but looks like its bead. The rear was easy
@@twiztedbacon Yeah, the front tire is a tight fit.
@@Byrds1967 im expecting a pop but there wasnt any but looks beaded up. Ypu can see that small line even that is right above the bead. Some people saying that some times you dont here the pop. And it just ease on
@@twiztedbacon That's true. These tires have tubes so the tire just presses against the rim. Tubless tires usually always have a pop.
Без перевода я все понял🤝
you don't need to cut thru the radials.. tff, just do it the right way.. :-)
you know they make tube pullers right?
Yeah, but the back tire on the V-star has an "L" shaped valve. Not sure if it would pull that one through.
Byrds1967 very good point... i will test in about a week when i change mine
great vid though!!
Alright, let me know how it goes. It would certainly be much more easy.
Thanks.
If you don't know. who does? Don't use the term " I don't Know" You bought the grease, You should know what it is!
dont think using the brake disc as a leaver point is a good idea. I'm sure it will war the expensive disc
