BMW K1600 Front Tire Change

[@AdventureGlide]

Found you from the livestream. You where definitely ready for a new tire.

I have the same exact bike as you, including the forged wheels. How did you remove the LH fork bushing prior to removing the front wheel/tire? Thanks in advance for your time!

I leave the right side fork locked down, and use the hub nut tool to loosen it. You can get them off Amazon for cheap, or from BMW for not cheap. Here's the link amzn.to/4fcR9Fo

I'm coming to your place the next time I have to do a tire change. You made that look easy

[@RainyRider1970]

Bring it. You are always welcome

Hey your wheel is bent. Look at right (non speed sensor side). Can see it when it was laying down. Slight but def bent

[@RainyRider1970]

Nah, it's a floating rotor. It's ok

Did you balance the wheel ?

[@RainyRider1970]

I did. I show how in a different video

[@randallmunson9909]

Hey Mike, Couldn't you throw a line over a joist and to each handlebar for "safeties" sake ? Always relieve your torque wrench to zero for storage. Happy holidays dude 😎

[@RainyRider1970]

Happy Holidays, Brother!

@@RainyRider1970 drive safely on those highways and byways and by the way, yous also.

Can't tell for sure, but the front looks like a Metzeler tire. Look on the side wall and see where it was made. You might be surprised.

Never showed removing old tire from rim? Never showed mounting new tire? Never showed new tire balancing? Support front end when wheel removed by replacing axle and putting jack stand underneath. Do not loosen left hand locking bolt or remove axle nut from fork. Confused about difference between anti seize (which is not needed for this job) and loctite. Other than that video was entertaining.

Watch the video from 2 weeks ago for all the things you missed
