- My version of the install. Probably not the best way but it got the job done. This was my first time installing a tire of any kind.
Tools used:
- 14 mm socket
- short extension
- torque wrench
- tire shine
- WD-40
- ratchet strap
- air compressor
- fat guy - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Little tip for next time bro. When you’re about to put air in the tire set the inside of the rim on top of a 5 gal bucket. The weight of the tire will drop and seal that rear bead. I just changed mine last week and worked perfect.
Looks awesome with the 35s great job 👏🏼
Very nice looking setup.
I just used the same process to add a spare tire and it worked fine. The procedure seems to be fairly quick and painless and easy to do with only one person.
The best thing that worked for me when I was doing tires on my side-by-side Vaseline and transmission fluid if you mix a little bit together and makes it really good lubricant or you can just use Grease
I bought some 33's for my KRX, No way did I want to try to install them myself. I called around and got some crazy prices from dealers and tire stores, my local dealer finally had time to do it and I got charged $160 to mount all four tires. I took my KRX down there and droped it off and picked it up a few hours later.
$160 at first I thought was too much but after calling around and watching your video I guess I got a good deal.
I thought about having the dealer do it, th y just were not available. They were the only ones I trusted to get the torque specs correct.
@@KRXBrandon when I went to pick it up I talked to the tech that installed them and he told me he was surprised that the torque was 41 foot lbs on the rings. So he was looking at the tech manual when he installed them.
I drilled a hole in my harbor freight bead breaker which moved it back further worked great super easy for me honestly.
I may do that when I need to do this again. I do need to change out my spare tire that I have, I just haven't been too motivated to do it!
@@KRXBrandon I’ll be upgrading to the system 3 370s soon how do you like them so far? Look like a really good mud/dirt terrain tire I probably will go 33”s
@@charlesholbrook8428 I really like them so far. For the types of riding we so, they are perfect. Our local trails are dirt/mud and we make trips to places with more technical. We have a bunch of trips planned this year so will get to try them out in multiple different terrains.
Did you have to do anything with the clutch like weights or what?
I put the tires on and ran it that way for a few months. It ran fine but you could tell there was a little bit of lag when you would take off. I ended up adding RCOR weights, G boost belt, and a PV3 tuner. I think I have videos on adding those as well. I am very pleased with all of it and feel that I have as good or better initial launch than I did on the original size tires.
Did you ever hear back from system 3 about where to align the valve stem since there is no circle
Sure didn't... I have not had any issues so I think it is good as they are.
Does it hurt the power of the bike?
I noticed it being a tad bit slower on take off but I have since replaced clutch weights, added a gboost belt and using the dynojet pv3 tuner. Definitely as quick or quicker than it was stock. I am not in to top speed trail riding so top end speed doesn't interest me as much as responsive acceleration/throttle response.
I have inch-and-a-half spacers on mine is that going to be a problem with rubbing
What size tires are you running? I had to pull off my mud busters on my Colorado trip because they were rubbing all the time. I have SATV extended a arms to install and will post a video on that soon.
Edit - I also run 2” spacers now and that is causing the rub. Before I did that there was no rub.
@@KRXBrandon I want to put 35 on it
60 lbs per tire! 😳
They aren't fat, just big boned! :)
