I do not get payed for videos and I do not specifically enjoy changing tires, although I do enjoy maintaining my own motorcycles ( and oldtimercars). Since I do ride the motorcycles a lot as in every day and since I currently have a rather powerfull bike with expensive tires (BMW S1000XR) , The difference in price online for a Michelin Road 6 vs at a dealer is significant. I am not that guy that does buy a tire online, bringing it to a shop to place it...... And really, if you have watched the video, you see that it would take more time making an appointment, riding to a tireshop to change while waiting and returning home , then to just do the job myself (half an hour), when I have the time. In the main time , I check brakes,brakepads , chaintension and other stuff and the bike is maintained way better. I hope you see my point.

For the rear tire I used 78cm x8mm zip ties, because I had them, but for a 180 tire , you would be fine with 60cm ties also. And if you don't have these, you could actually zip two shorter ties (fe 40cm) together and that would also do the job

Thanks

rubber tire in the sun. Definitely , a warm tire makes it a lot easier, because the rubber is a lot more flexible. The rim in the freezer....I guess most do not have a freezer big enough to put a rim in. I don't think the rim will shrink enough to really make a difference anyway. For fitting bearings , that is a whole other thing. Putting them in the freezer make a lot of difference

@@gvybin My Honda Rebel cmx250c's back rim is only 15" and is the hardest to tire-mount by hand, the front 18", i don't worry about, thanks for thr cool video!

Oh, yes you can , In this video I do a 180 55 17 rear tire : Oh, sì che puoi, in questo video faccio una gomma posteriore 180 55 17: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn-8cmRsncSXgsUsi=Aj07AYFidqeXAXNt

so?? anything else to add?

@@gvybin all the other steps, I guess my comment is just as helpful as the video

@@tried12usernames I didn't see a video, where you gave informative information? You don't have to watch the video, do you? The video is over 3 years old now. I have changed all my motorcycle tires this way at home without a single problem. The bikes are sport or sporttouring, all with Michelin pilot power or Michelin Road 120/70/17 front and 180/55/17 rear so I guess something must be right. There are other ways to change tires at a professional shop or DIY at home. It is not the goal of this video to show them all. I know other ways to break the bead of a tire. I show almost real time, with details, one easy possible method to change a tire in about 15 minutes at home. There is no clickbait in the title or false information in the description. I do not earn money on KZbin, I am not an influencer of some sort, just a random guy that shares information. I leave it to that

@@gvybin indeed I don't and I didn't, stopped watching at the vise grip

@@gvybin I also didn't read all that, stop being mad it wasn't even a mean joke to begin with get over yourself

I've changed out motorcycle tires like this on my ADV bike a few times after blowing a tire in the middle of nowhere. Zip ties weigh nothing and take up so little space, I make sure that anytime I head out for a cross country ride, I have at least 2 dozen of them laying in the bottom of my pannier. I've been known to strap tupperware back on with them after a get off too!

This is the best way to mount and unmount while unharmed the wheel

Stick the tube in the tire first.

Пожалуйста, я рад, что смог помочь

O dear and again ..... A 100 remarks and answers on this. And I changed a lot of rear and front tires this way, since I released this video. No rotors were harmed.

You're welcome, glad it also worked for you

Hi Tod, In my HT , I only use a HTPC ( its an MSI gaming series PC infact ) as a source. I stream movies over Kodi or Stremio, I watch youtube, I stream music and the PC also has a DVD slot , that I seldom use. So I installed Equalizer APO 1.2.1 on it. That is a free Parametric multiband equalizer for Windows using Audio Processing Object (APO) technology, which allows you to change the sound parameters of all applications at once at the operating system level. Using REW measurements of the raw system and choosing a certain room correction curve, I can create some sort of automated correction file that can be uploaded in APO 1.2.1. In other words, I don't have to play with the parametric equalizers myself. I only have to point out my desired room correction curve . Of course , before starting , I made sure I had my two subwoofers at the best place in the room to prevent dips and I have a pretty good acoustic threated room to begin with.

Tire mfrs say do not use petroleum products. OK to use cooking oil.
