this helped me so much I'm only 16 years old so I can't afford all the special tools to remove the tire from the rim this is gonna help me so much thank you for showing me how to do it with just the tools in your garage this is extremely helpful.

[@brennanbarnard2803]

Exactly this is the only video that made sense with no “real tools”

I'm also 16 and I have to change the tires this helped a lot

[@yamanscletusmcnugget6666]

@@danielbaker1359 yea I'm 18 now and I ordered the tools a few weeks after doing the tire but in all honesty it was easier with the screwdrivers

[@wadebashaw4412]

I'm 52 and just getting into dirtbiking and and don't have any of the tools also and had to change a flat today, this was great help

[@thomaslenhart832]

Guess who just took off a dirtbike tire on for the first time! Well I did and it was fairly easy and towmmarow I am gong to put the new tire on. Thank u

[@bigtvideos6387]

I just changed out my front pit bike tire with this technique extremely helpful thank you a lot

[@gavindekilderproduction5056]

Bro I’m 13 and the last part was a bitch on a rear pit bike tire

[@bigtvideos6387]

@@gavindekilderproduction5056 I found out shortly after that the rear tire is way harder the the front tire because of how wide it is

[@tylerbrotzman7452]

@@bigtvideos6387 i would imagine mostly it was because of the diameter, normally wider means easier

Sir, my friend next door was trying to change his motorcross tires. He was trying to use a spoon for a car tire. As I have learned most of my auto mechanics from KZbin channels. I always tell people just try to look it up on KZbin. Most don't think. I found your channel. We followed every step. Worked like we knew what we were doing. I Sincerely and Appreciate your knowledge and experience 👌!!!! Worked out great. Thank you very much!!!!

[@Adabulldoya]

I remember my grandpa had a bunch of riding lawn mowers and a ton of land I always had to change tires I was only about 8-10 when I first did it myself. I just figured it out grabbed some screwdrivers and popped it off. Took some figuring out. So glad we have stuff like this now to show everyone

[@X2_sweaty]

This helped me a lot I’m a 14 year old boy with a dream and thank you now I can get my life started

[@Nacho48554654765]

Three hours in, started yesterday and I was able to change both of my tyres with a screwdriver and a chisel. Thank you so much for the video! I will try to buy the spoons in the future.

[@MRjeep-pr7dx]

Thanks for the tips man! Just got stranded on the side of the road with my KLR 650 a week ago without a tube or any tools... Never again!!! 🤦🤦🤦 💪👍✌️

[@trevorbenham2501]

was fighting all day until i found this video! thank you so much. tire changes are no longer scary

[@80sDweeb]

Thanks for the great demo! I always like to fill the tube, then let all the air out, then refill. This allows any wrinkles, folds, or twists to stretch out and then be released, for a more even fill. Tube lasts longer.

[@deathstouch25]

Well that sure as hell beats taking the tire completely off the rim thanks for the new knowledge!!!

[@rebeccabaillie9584]

The owner of the dirtbike shop told me it took him 5 tubes before he got his first TTR-125 wheel and tube on right..... With this video, I totally changed my dirtbike wheel by myself and used the old tube without any issues, and i'm a chick!! Thanks man for teaching me something new. :-)....... oh but I did do one thing different, I had the tube in the new wheel before I put it on the rim...... Made it a lot easier I think then having to stuff the tube in when the new hard as f#$k tire is on the rim already. Just be patient.....

[@Bigkidpowersports]

You are even more of a badass now!

[@Foxbodyguy91]

I just need to do the tube but I watched the whole video. Thank you my fellow dirt rider👍👍

[@sixdays_26]

Finally this video helpful to me, thank you.. I was struggling all day and my fingers sored just to replace front inner tube..

[@nostuffknowstuffchrisstahl1076]

Thank you very much. You are very articulate and concise with great technique while engaging in semantic oration. I haven't changed a tire since I was a kid and that was one of the best how to infovideos I have ever seen. Best regards!

[@WackyWizard123]

I am 14, and so far it is the BEST one out here to me!!!! Tysm

[@kendrickpreston456]

Man the bucket idea is original!! All the vids I’ve watched with all these thousands of view always did it on the floor haha nice job

[@nanz6528]

Thank you sooo much saved me $40 by not taking it in2 a shop + learned how to do myself and not have to depend on someone to do it for me 😍

[@buddahargetsinger2055]

I'm 14 and this really helped me thank you so much

[@jimsteele7108]

My first attempt at changing the tube on my lil DR. Pinched the tube, back at it for the second time.

[@afterhoursfab842]

Thanks a million man ! Just changed my tube and tire on my rm 125 in half an hour with just 3 flatheads, windex and a bike pump

[@fred_on_factorys404]

Thanks trying this in the morning 👍💯

[@somerandomguy3532]

"This is not a trip to Disneyland." He speaks the truth, I love it.

[@kendrickpreston456]

I’ve also taped the end of my screwdrivers with ductape or electrical tape

[@anotheraussiebattla233]

beat me too it mate i was going to comment to recommend it highly!!

[@rltkktlr]

That does bring back the memories at the track! Didn't see any bleeding knuckles though!! Good video. Hey have you guys seen a tool, forgot the name, but it's like a large hot knife. For cutting used knobs a little to make them grip like new, kinda sharpens the edges up. Works slick when your not quite wanting to throw a new tire on. Some of your customers would love it. Call it tuning up your tires.

[@Bigkidpowersports]

I was surprised I didn't take the wheel and throw it across the shop.... because it gets that point sometimes too lol Yes, we carry the Knobby Knife brand. It is a pretty slick little tool that does a nice job. We have a few racers that cut tires to their liking too.

[@rebeccabaillie9584]

that tool sounds handy!!! im looking it up. thanks :-)

[@aaroncowie8155]

This was great . Watched this step by step and helped me immensely 🙌🙌 great video thanks for the help!!

[@MacMetal215]

well i just pulled the tire off...put a hole in the tub but it was popped any ways, didnt really care about that while pulling the tire off. Rim is cracked so I might try to weld it together. on to searching for welding cracked rim videos hahaha thanks!!!

Got my tyre back on pretty easy after watching this

Thanks for the help man just got the tire off my bike thanks to you

Bro thanks this helps a lot keep up the good work

[@octyl95]

I'm trying to change the inner tube on my crf50 and each time I go to put a flat head in to get the tire to pull up over the edge the screwdriver either slips out or I get it in and go to put the next one in to continue and the first one just pops out. someone pease help cause this is getting frustrating.

[@CmdrTigerKing]

CANT U USE cloths to cover the rim/tool protect both rim and tube?

[@pauloconnor7951]

What brand of screwdrivers do you recommend ? ;) ;)

[@Thatdualsportguy]

So this is going to be my first time changing my own tire (tired of paying labor fees at dealerships) I dont want to risk popping the tube with a screwdriver so is it possible to use the round end of a wrench? In theory theres no pointy end to risk your tubes existence

[@transition31]

I’m impressed

[@Hillclimbboys]

So helpful thanks man 🤘

I have a 12" mini bike tyre. Im guessing they are the hardest to do?mIm not getting anyhere and was thinking of going to a bike shop.

[@Bigkidpowersports]

The smaller the tire, the less stretch there is. Yes, those are tougher. The key is to take little Steps at the end

[@bertweeb1989]

This video is 5 years old, I have changed tires with tubes, Bruh I popped the tube with screw drivers so many times that I gave up on it lmao

you're a beast! thanks

[@rtharmon454]

More like how to change a tire in someone else's garage.

[@PraiseB2Allah]

i would add a warning that this is advanced and won't work for every tire/wheel and there's a good chance you will damage your tire/tube. at least that's what i have observed.
