I have three motorcycles and six cars so I use my No-mar tire changer for all but one car with runlets its been a good investment

[@ELDESTBuilds]

Thanks for watching

So much hard work just take it to tyre fitters

[@ELDESTBuilds]

I do it all myself, had to replace the batteries in the TPMS anyhow.

@@ELDESTBuilds hey, I’m about to help my dad change his tires on his 2012 k1300S. Do you know if it uses the same TPmS sensors as you’re bike? Do they use the same battery? If so, what type of battery? Thanks in advance.

[@ELDESTBuilds]

@@Mooney0946 yes, see here kzbin.info/www/bejne/poe9nqGFp52lqpI

If a Tire Breezer is still available, it might be a help. Take care.

[@ELDESTBuilds]

@carlcarlamos9055 tire breezer? Not something I've heard of.

[@tonypalermo5796]

It's nice to have options and do things yourself, I happen to enjoy balancing them after mounting by hand ,with tire irons. Another words...man up!

[@ELDESTBuilds]

Thanks, I've upgraded a bit to the Harbor freight tire charger. Currently, between 60 to 80 dollar bucks to mount and balance at the shop, and that's carrying the wheels inside.

Made a meal of that

[@ELDESTBuilds]

It happens like that sometimes. I had a blast on the trip. The tires handled well on this big bike.

And the moral of the video is Don't work on a motorcycle on an empty head!

[@ELDESTBuilds]

And yet the tire was mounted

[@stevegray5709]

Have been riding motorcycles since 1966 and changed many many tyres (notice how I spelt 'tyres' not 'tires') but never tried a tubeless and after watching this I never will. Simply not worth the hassle.

Thanks buddy
