Next tire. Put the tub in the tire. And put a little air in it. So it stays in and put some kind of soap on the tire. It will help go on easyer

[@JeffPutchinski]

There's also a hack where you use about 5 wire ties spaced around the tire, push it on with soap/lube, and then cut wire ties and pull out...voila!

[@mrsmith4662]

That's what I thought, you learn the hard way (I've ruined a few), partially inflate the tube first to avoid pinching.

[@navigatorx1013]

The tire mounting trick with this type rim is to get the opposite inner edge down in the channel where the spokes are. Adds plenty of room.

[@DjBud_VinD]

Plus soap the edges with some dish soap and maybe even put your foot down on the spot near the last bit to massage over to keep it there, may not need any spoon at all.

[@trailtrashgarage]

Also helps warming the tire with a heat gun on low for a bit and put a little air in the tube after getting it in the tire. Makes it harder to clip with the tire iron.

[@scottmoodysr9449]

[@josephcarino5829]

Yes, it's called the tire changing groove. You must get the bottom of the tire in that groove

[@tonyaxeman4381]

I use a vice grip that is c shaped when open . Pinch the tire near the inner edge together . Use a water and dish soap mixture . I did my Harley rear tire like this . Getting the tire off was a nightmare . You got to use three spoons to install .

Hey Joe, i have a garage full of bikes myself and have been passionate about them and mechanics since i was a young kid, 40 years ago, I love watching your videos and learning tricks and tips from you.

I'm in az also and tried to get my 14 year old daughter a kx80, some douche from camp Verde screwed me hard. The inside of the engine was toast, he said it just needed a psiton and gave one with the bike. I tore it down, and the cylinder was f'd, the crank was f'd, the head was f'd, the clutch was missing some wave ring clutch cover was cracked and the tried to hide it with jbweld and paint, The carb needle was bent. His response when I confronted him ab9ut it was, "You knew what you were buying," when clearly he lied, so i truly didn't know what I was buying, or I wouldn't have bought it. Total pos bike and person. I have never met so many scumbags as I have here in az. I wish we had more people like joe around here.

[@GaryGilbertbigG66]

Joe, here's a old tire change trick. Large black trash bag the whole wheel tire , heat up using heat gun on low. Or sit it out in the sun if you have sun. Use soap 🫧🫧🫧🫧 on tires bead. Keep bead down inside wheels center. Use a c- clamp to keep tire into center. Makes life way easier.

[@restrothunderroad]

Man I've popped so many of those damn tire tubes. They're a huge pain in the butt. I found out water with a little dish soap really helps with the process a ton. Great work, Joe!

[@larogersii1]

Amazing that you are going to give this bike to a kid that wants a bike with all his heart

[@peterdahlheimer]

like others said, definitely get that other side squeezed down so the sidewalls sit in the center on the rim opposite where you're working on getting the tire mounted. also, when putting tire irons onto the rim, give the end a little "jiggle" against the rim to make sure you hear metal and don't have a bit of tube pinched in between.

[@dougiep8464]

When fitting the tyre take smaller gaps between levers. And get better levers

[@4637bigred]

Next time you mount a tire. Push the bead of the tire further into the wheel. Where the bead of the tire is almost touching the spokes inside the wheel. The tire then has more room to move laterally for when you are prying over the last amount of tire. Good channel by the way.

[@CarlMarkusHey-ih9jm]

Yes Sir !!!! 😢 Same procedure while removing the tire!!!!!

[@CarlMarkusHey-ih9jm]

An alloy rim would be destroyed otherwise

[@just4kicks950]

Nice work Joe 🔧🎬👍. Last time I changed tires. I had to cut the old tires off the rims & pinched both tubes doing so lol. So dont feel bad 🤔 now I pay to have them installed by a local shop. Its complete & looks/ runs great dude 💯🫡✌️.

[@18wheeler77]

12:46 You need to add a little air before you install the tire. That way the tube inflates away from the lip.

[@matthewstuckey665]

Such a good guy Joe. Stuff like this is why I’ve watched this channel for years now

[@danshorthouse]

Always put a little more air in the tube first, helps keep it away from the tools! And get a cheap tyre changing machine! Big help even to hold it! 👍🏼🇬🇧

[@shk2564]

Come to the door! I have been knocking for a couple minutes! 🤷🏽‍♂️ 😂

[@58dorsett]

You might try dusting the inner tube, and inside the tire with talcum powder, or corn starch before mounting. It helps the tube to slip away from the tire tools rather than getting pinched.

[@Nigel-v9h]

I've always slightly aired the tube when fitting the type. All these years here in the uk and never had any issues 😉. A cracking running little cr80 there nice 1 😁.

[@camazar1]

I was find filling the tube full of a little bit of air first before you put it in really helps prevent pinching or just use a mousse!

[@jakeallama22]

You're a good man Joe! I agree with one of the other commenters that mentioned putting baby powder on the tube and maybe a bit inside the tire to help it settle into the right spot and keep the tire tools from pinching it as well.

[@brucesymington4606]

It really helps, when installing an inner tube, to partially inflate the tube prior to putting it into the tire. You need not put much air in it, just enough that the tube fits into the tire, not leaving flat parts to get caught between the rim and the tools.

[@butchfritz5378]

[@willwaconsya3433]

A trick my father used in installing a tube and tire was to first make sure the tube is partially inflated. Then soap the top side tire bead and rim real well. The bead will slip in far easier. Being careful not to point the tool to far downward. Try that method.

[@davessparetime83]

You have to clamp the sides of the tire so it can slide into the rim allowing more room for the tire to go over the rim. Also, I like to spread baby power on the tube so it slides around better inside the tire. Add a little air to tube.

[@1ksquid07rr6]

That's awesome man!!!! I remember when i was a kid I always dreamed of having a cr85 expert . Or a big wheel yz . Something about a 2stroke . I ended up getting a little crf100 for my first one at the age of 9 and that thing is prob still alive somewhere now. It got stolen from the farm about 2 years ago but I'm 31 now lol . Couldn't kill the thing. I moved straight to a cr250 after just a couple of years but we hung onto that little bike for a long time. Appreciate your kindness man , it's a nice reminder that there is still some good in the world!!!

[@mikestephens6194]

Yep, wrestled with my grandsons 125 tires, kept spares already done so when he popped one, just changed it, then put in the new tube. Used powder, soap, wd40, tried them all, powder seemed to work best overall. Still a big pita. 3 grandsons, now waiting for the 6 yo, he is just starting to ride. 2 dirt bikes, 3 atv's and 1 utv, seems I'm wrenching on something all the time, 3 grandsons and 1 son, and their buddies.

I’ve learned it’s a bit easier putting tubes in if you put just a little bit of air in the tube 1st that way it’s easier to work with and you don’t have to worry about getting it twisted or pinched inside the tire ,also put some dish washing liquid around the bead of the tire before putting it on or taking it off, makes a world of difference 👍🏼

[@dazer123]

Top tip for installing tubes is to inflate it partially up then 90%of the tube will be in the tyre and prevent you pinching it

II vintage! Ive been watching your videos since you started way back in the day, n gotta say I don’t know how you manage to come up with so many fresh machines,it’s truly impressive. And the reason why I watch your videos. You remind me of a young myself, (Myself being 49 years of age these days)making many of the great funk ups that you can only learn once from, and never worry about funking up on again. I love the late 80’s to early 2000’s mx/xc/enduro bikes, and never forget ATC’s and race quads ! ! It would be so killer if you came across a a late model Yam IT490, or a 1993 KDX250 you did an mid 80’s Yam IT 200, and a YZ490, and I know 😢😢these bikes are almost nonexistent so keep on the way ur going brotha ! If there was anyway that I can think that I can give you as far as a helpful tip or something could be is when you do the listening to the engine type of sound diagnostics segments, you could probably make it easier for us out here on the other side to hear the way these engine’s sound is to do it outside. But I m sure is easier for you to diagnose inside so whatever, Pease n Yamabond ! ! #5

[@garygreen1670]

Your a good Man for giving that little ripper away. I de tassled corn for my first bike. 👍

[@patrickseager4706]

when you get the tube in and valve tight add just enough air to round out the tube, this keeps it from getting pinched.

[@denislitisha7136]

I’m a. Bicycle mechanic, I know moto tires are harder to put on, but the principle is the same.Inflate the tube slightly to give shape then put it in the tire. Always start putting the bead of the tire valve first . Try not to use tires levers as much as possible. Use your body weight and hands and start beading the tire on the rim. Always push the bead on both sides of the tire toward the centre of the rim. The diameter at the center of the rim is smaller than the bead of the rim. Keep working it and deflate the tube if need be, even remove the core to make sure no air. Every couple of inches you seat in the bead, always check the tube with your fingers to make sure it is toward the center of the tie to not pinch it. Even standing on the bead of the tire to seat it is better then using tire levers

[@johnhicks735]

Tire soap in A bucket is the best option to and route to go. Nice bright sharpie markered shoes Joe.

[@jwrefurbishing8433]

I've found that bicycle tire levers work much better for doing dirt bike tires and much less chance of damaging tube or rim. Great work though keep it up!

[@MikeInBendOregon]

That's cool that you are giving it away Joe... Yeah it needs plastics but it's an awesome little bike, and some lucky kid will be able to ride it and not have to worry about fixing a bunch of things. Once it cleans out a little, it rips, and that's with an adult riding it LOL. Just think how fast it will be with a kid riding it that weighs about half of what you weigh... Hopefully it will go to a kid that otherwise wouldn't be able to have a bike. I was fortunate enough to have a bike when I was a kid. I started riding when I was about 9 years old and I rode every day, it didn't matter what the weather was doing. Those are some of the fondest memories that I have...

A little air in the tube will make it hold shape in the tire and not flop in the way of the pry bars. 😊

[@OldGlaseye-gf7si]

Take a thin knife, pry off the Cart bearing seal..grease in there, and seal back on..Few bearings come with enough grease. Some baby powder on the tube also..helps to allow it to move around a bit and not stick to the inside of the tire or tear the valve out..These from working on bicycles.. Be nice to use a bearing press also rather than a hammer..

[@HereistheDeal]

Love the comment on the "Screw" where you picked up the kit for $9 opposed to just the screw for $30. Check out a Gas Gauge for a 2008 Artic Cat 366 4x4 auto. I need just the glass piece and they don't sell it, over $300 for the entire gauge. I put $0.25 cents in a gumball machine and got the toy inside for the plastic dome egg and used 1/2 the egg as the cover, fits perfect...

[@johnwagner800]

Joe, Glad to see this is a givaway. Very nice gesture. Joe, I've been watching and enjoying your videos for some time now. With this in mind, I hope you can accept some constructive criticism. It pained me to watch you wrestling with that front rim and tire in a puddle of oil. That oil should've been cleaned up as soon as it was spilled. Oil on a smooth surface is dangerous. I know you're young and think your good health will last forever, but it won't. I was a young mechanic who thought this way and it came around to bite me in the behind. Joe, get yourself a heavy duty work bench to work on the individual components of a rebuild/repair just big enough for the component and some tools to get you up off the floor. Dedicate this bench to only those things you are working on right now. Keep it clean so that as each component gets repaired and put aside, the workbench/table will be ready for the next component. Joe, please get yourself a real tire changing machine, not a Harbor Freight one. It'll pay for itself by not having to buy additional tubes when they get perforated during installation. Thanks for all the great videos. Sincerely, John Wagner

[@michaelbratton3319]

A smearing of dish soap around the tyre bead would help greatly?and start at the valve and work away in small moves👍if you put 2 or 3 lbs of pressure in the tube it moves it out the way for refitting?

Joe that is so nice of you to do.

[@fokus1243]

Hi! How to install a tube: You first put in a little bit of air, just so that it reaches a round tutular form. Not more, not even for a moment. Then you put it in carefully, making sure it is in the right position without torquing or squeezing it. Now press the tire over the rim and best try to just use your body's force, no tools. Always make sure that the tube doesn't get squeezed in. If you have to use those levers, it gets tricky. The tube cannot be between the lever and the rim at any time. Next it is best to apply special tire montage fluid all araound between tire and rim, on both sides. Now pressurize the tire to the recommended pressure before the fluid evaporates (it is not water, but also water might do the trick). Check tthat the tire has fully settled in by rotating the wheel on an axle and watching it running straight, if not then at least following the rim. You can also look for a mark on the side, like a ridge, and check that its distance to the rim is the same all around. If not, reduce tire pressure and squueze the tire from the sides going areound the whole wheel, then re-pessurize it.

[@jayaustin3096]

I've never seen anybody put a tire on without tools. You must make a video please

[@lloydbethel252]

Great job Joe. Giving a kid a chance to get a nice little bike.

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Joe if you put a few pounds of air into the tube it will push against the tire surface out of the way of the rim. Then only use the smooth iron to shove the tire edge over the rim. That hooked iron is the culprit! Buy another smoothy! I've done a ton of bicycle and motorcycle tire replacements. On bicycles we didn't use any irons or demon screwdrivers once you learn to do it by hand it's easy!

[@fourtraxing7910]

I’d rather change semi tires any day over dirt bike tires🤣 but it helps a lot to use lube on the bead(or soap) and invest in some slightly smaller spoons. Great video as usual

Tire are easy. When my kids raced motocross I would fix the other racers tires. Baby powder in the tire , powder up the tube , air tube up the half way , wd40 on a rag wipe the bead down , couple small tire irons , not those big ones . When all done take that nut off the valve steam, that will just rip the stem off the tube if or when the tire spins on the rim.
