Robot is great; this just what we all need to know and be prepared for. Great stuff!

[@davidcollins1853]

He is so helpful. You can learn a lot.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Thanks for tuning in!

I'm from Serbia, Europe, and I love the quiz, so I just want to help someone get a spare wheel. These tires are produced in Serbia. 3.25kg equals 7.165lbs Greetings to all Vespa lovers Alex

Should be mandatory viewing for all Scooter Cannonball Run contestants!

[@davidcollins1853]

Wow! great video. It helps to learn how to do-it-yourself. I'm a little hesitant to use a car to break the bead, but that was creative. I found a hammar and helper's knee will break it. You can get plastic rim guards if you don't want to use milk cartains. Loved the video.

[@VespaMotorsport]

All good tips! Thanks for chiming in...

[@bobbypage4854]

15.4 lbs always appreciate your videos

[@LuckyTown77]

Have you ever used the kickstand to break the tire bead ? Scooter weight and foot of the kickstand can work. Just the balancing act that is tough !

[@juancarlos-wh5ij]

i like dyna beads for tire balancing, making it truly a complete tire change

[@tikirico9647]

Robot thanks for sharing so much, you are a true master mechanic!👏👏

[@VespaMotorsport]

Thanks for watching!

[@daverussell505]

Brilliant video Robot.

[@Kriswixx]

oh man I feel this,. My scooter sits. I don't have the tools. I've already broke 2 replacements trying to pull them through the hole, I figured i'd try to just fill it up and hope for the best. tire is ok- it's near impossible on these small tires. I lack the skill

[@remywurster7095]

Great video. Almost a lost art in the western world. Tire+Rim make 15.165lbs. Have a great day!

[@frederiklansu270]

Nice work👍🏻 grts from Belgium .

[@VespaPortland]

Happy Valentines Day from Robot! Meet you in the back of the Jeep. 😂

[@VespaMotorsport]

Ironically, this is the alley behind the shop next to the dumpster 🤷‍♂️

[@tayster55]

Hi 🤖 Robot. Reminded me of John Muir book, “How to keep your Volkswagen alive, for the compleat idiot” Loved it and may save my bacon someday. Peace.

[@VespaMotorsport]

😆 Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching...

[@c7uk]

I have 2 copies of that book!

[@crystalbiggs2040]

I love all of your videos, very informative and useful 👍🏼

[@VespaMotorsport]

Glad you like them!

[@BrendaEM]

A C-clamp may break the bead. A bingo ink dauber might work well for holding a bottle of soapy water.

[@analogtyler]

I'm in the US and trust m5300a's estimate of 7.165lbs. I could totally use this tire and would GLADLY pay for shipping. Love the videos Robot. Thanks for all the great information you put out there!

[@allens7476]

12.3 lbs. There's small bead breaker available that uses a wrench. My 12v. air compressor couldn't seat the bead. I never thought to remove the valve! I did think a ratchet strap around the circumference of the tire might help pucker the tire..

[@VespaMotorsport]

Good tips, thanks for sharing!

[@YouMotorcycle]

No rim protectors though? :(

[@nomorebang]

To remove the tire just stand on the tire and jump up and down keeping your feet on the tire works for me

[@problemchild3013]

What psi would u recommend on s1 tubeless tyres with sip tubeless rims

[@scotttaggart]

suggestions: 3 tire irons are much easier, use gloves, knee pads or a blanket. good video.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Great tip, thanks!

[@scotttaggart]

@@VespaMotorsport Also if you put all 3 irons under the bead before starting removal it's way easier than trying to get the second two under after you have one lip of the tire over the rim. In this video he uses 4 but you get the idea: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5zZfKqpbtaeb9U

[@BabaG]

Who won the wheel? Like the way Robots how it is done and the amount effort needed to do this. It would be cool to see someone follow this video tutorial and change their tubeless tire and share it, my guess it would take twice as much long to get it done compared to what it took Robot.

[@neilepworth5783]

Great video,as usual,t/y

[@LuckyTown77]

Used a larger rim on top of tire once to break a bead.

[@BrightonRich]

Great thanks !

[@VespaMotorsport]

You bet!

[@will80913]

Who got the tire?????13.6

[@eelcobrinkcate5303]

I used to have a spare tire on the left backside on my old Vespa.....that was back in 1989. So easy....nothing of this

[@JoshAintLoud]

So, Robot... I live the shirt, but I did t see a single snap on tool. 13.2 pounds.

[@jeffreyweldon6903]

The tire weighs 6.6 pounds, 8 pounds for the wheel, total 14.6 pounds for both

[@aerialphoto]

after watching this. i'm trying to figure out how to travel with a spare tire attached to a rim.

[@spookypineapple]

Holy shit I hope I never have to do this in real life!!
