- Full length motorcycle tire change. In this video I talk you through a real-time tire change for one of my bikes I am doing service on. Join me as I swap a tubeless Pirelli STR to a Heidenu K60 Ranger on the front of my Ducati DesertX
Aaaand 8 hours later, I have one tire off a rim.
The use of the socket is a great idea! Thanks for that tip.
Have done al lot of tires but after fighting the front tyre of an old bmw r1150rt for half an hour, I decided to consult your video. Taking the tyre off was easy as well as putting it almost back on. Your advice to use sockets made the difference between a possible and impossible job. I realized the tyre needed extra space to make the last jump and the sockets ( use small ones!!) made the last part easy as well. Many thanks from Holland!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I consider myself fairly well skilled in maintaining my motorcycles but keeping the tire slippery while I mount was always an issue in bone dry Arizona. I just mounted a new tire on my Goldwing and using WD40, it went right on and seated easily. You saved me lots of frustration and kept money in my pocket and out of the swear jar. God bless
Bead breaker/tire changer and actual bead lubricant with a brush make it so much easier. Not sure why more riders don’t just buy bead lube for the home garage. It’s $13 for a gallon that’ll last forever. It stays wet for the perfect amount of time and and doesn’t leave any slick film once dried. Way better than trying to do it with other lubricants.
Sockets. Hmmmpt. Now I have a bead buddy for sale cheap. Thanks Bret!
Thank you for being the motorcycle Uncle I never had as always. So helpful! Thank you!
Yeah, those sockets were the perfect tool. Love the improv!
I think that the most important thing you should impress on newbies (I have made this mistake and seen many others too) is to make sure (as per your socket trick) that the “knee side” is in the low point.
I wish you did this video 2 years ago when I tried to change the tire on my own for the first time. After many trials and errors, pain and blood I agree that WD-40 is the best way to go. Works way better than soap. :)
You make it look easy! I struggle every time, but get there in the end with a sweaty face!
Very simple but slick tire change. Love the tip about the sockets.
I’ve changed a whole lot of tires in my time and yet I still picked up some valuable tips. Like the way you use WD-40 and the way you removed the second bead looks brilliant! Can’t wait to try it myself. Thanks again, Bret!
So much easier without a tube to mess with.
Bravo. Made it look easy. Very clear explanation with some helpful tips!
Wow, you make it look so easy Bret. I will plan a bit more and try it myself again. Thanks for making the video!
Never to late to learn something new. Thanks
Hey, I wanted to thank you for posting this. I've been struggling for years and this method finally worked for me! I broke my back a bunch of years ago and every time i'd try to do my own tires it would set me back for weeks. This worked! I thought i was stuck getting shops to do this job!
Very impressive to see this is real time! Many thanks!
Just changed my dr650 rear tire for a dunlop d606 which i was told is difficult to mount. With your instructions and tips it went VERY well. Many thanks for sharing Bret! Cheers
