How to Change ADV Motorcycle Tires Using the Baja No Pinch Tool (Gear and Beer Ep3)

[@markkendall7371]

This is the only video that I've seen on how to actually put the tool together and use it... Not even on Baja's web page. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I don't regret my purchase anymore LOL

[@mmtunphilly]

I don't comment on KZbin or anywhere much but I wanted to say I really appreciate the clarity and straightforward simplicity or your video. It also convinced me to purchase the tool after fighting a smaller tire with spoons. No more frustration with tires! Thank you so much and continue the great content.

[@jasonbully4594]

PRO TIP : Used motorcycles tires are good for absolutely nothing! Not even for a kids swing. I always cut mine off with a razor knife/wire cutter as I won't be using them again for anything. It takes seconds to remove them and is completely hassle free.😉

[@Longbow7771]

Bead buddy is the premier frustration eliminator lol I’m sure a lot of people watching,that just found out about both of these tools had a huge sigh of relief ❤️

[@tcpfuzz9215]

What an awesome little tool. It's the kind of thing you know someone thought of while stranded and frustrated in the middle of nowhere. I ride sport bikes but can see how this would be extremely helpful in ADV riding. I swear, motorcyclists are some of the most clever people.

[@rogerdedrick373]

It works on sportbike rims as well

[@Propwashpirate]

So a tip I learned from the Dunlop guys is after you put in your baby power put the tube in the tire add a little air then mount the tire like you did starting with valve stem. This works very well for me and have been doing it for years now. Also I put my knees on tire where I started mounting it to push the bead into the center of the wheel, that allows the opposite end of the tire to be a little looser to help seat the final section of the tire.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Good tip!

[@byknphil]

Purchase one of them tools a couple years ago I got a chance to use it on the trail for myself. The thing is truly magical. Did the trans Wisconsin adventure trail with a bunch of guys on dual sports and had a chance to pull this out at the end of day to help to help a buddy out. Everybody was standing around me thinking that thing was a gimmick. It took one tire to change the minds of those 9 old school Moto boys. I think two or three of them have purchased it. The others just hope I bring the long every time we ride.

[@CharlesHuse]

I am saving up for my 1st bike. A few of the bikes that are on the short list have spoked wheels and tube tires. I have been seeing a lot about pinched tubes, and my inexperience has been angling my choice in bike towards those with tubeless tires. This is a game changer and puts my top choices in bikes back in their top spots.

[@drewsXR650L]

Could not put on tire without spoons, this tool helps sort of, but seems to be made for really flexiable knobbies. Works ok, but will not get get tires mounted without help from spoons for road tires. At 16:33 you can tell the tire is very flexiable and putting up very little resistance.

[@ricardosacub]

This is one of the best channels if not the best I've seen. And the coolest part is that i have an AT. So all your advices ar very usefull for me. Greetings from Perú!

[@aaronforeman1696]

Yet another really helpful video …I actually have the Baja No Pinch tool, which is not such a common tool people have in their possession from what I've seen here in Australia. I was good to see that you used an extra sleeve to fit the Africa Twin, which is something that I don't presently have. Insightful and well presented. Cheers again

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching

[@kymstock1852]

I carried a BNPT on a trip with the Adventure Rider magazine crew. I ended up changing several tryes over the 3 week period, none of them mine. I think it makes 17 inch tyres a lot easier, especially with Motoz tyres. I carried a Bike Plier G clamp too to break the bead. That can a PIA job if you ride solo.

[@robbutcher9503]

This is the best tyre changing video on KZbin. Good job. I've liked and subscribed.

[@longlifeprinters9]

Wow, that valve stem puller / inserter is a great idea! I now may try replacing my popped tube again. Last time was a bear for the valve stem & pinching.

[@gonadiator]

Don’t need it if you just put the valve stem in first when putting tube in the tire. Kinda weird how he does it at the end imo

[@rel62]

Your videos are so easy to follow...you focus our attention on what matters...every bit of the videos are meaty instruction-wise. "Just the facts." Thanks!

[@coarsegoldkid]

I have issues with the Baja No Pinch with 21" wheels. 18" wheels no problem. I didn't realize BNP instructs one to lift the hub so the red part is flush. I either overlooked that instruction and found that out on my own and yes it makes it easier. I might go back and try the lifting the hub on a 21" to see how it goes.

[@larrypeplinski593]

Thanks Kyle. I'm planning on using the Tractionator Adventure for my next rear tire.

[@duanneblouin7148]

I am buying my first africa twin I am not the best at changing tires do you recommend replacing tubes everytime you put on a new tire barring no flats how many tire changes per tube and what type tube do you recommend I am going to try and order as much tire changing stuff through your affiliets I just got a 2021 africa twin do you know what size the axle nut is thank you for your answers I havent seen all your videos yet and you have probably answered these a hundred time thanks.

Fantastic tool. I will use your link to buy my Baja No Pinch and, if possible, my beer.

[@armyofshea7941]

Digging your content, but you got the sub for being like “Steve’s Small Engine Saloon” who quotes repair jobs in beers. If you have not checked him out, you need to. That man is a miracle worker with small engines.

[@csiautodetail]

the bullsnot can't be found anywhere. what else have you use that works as good?

[@joemcdonough2765]

So much easier to put the tube on the rim first, then put rim and tub in center of tire, then put the beads on either side. Very important to make sure opposite side of tire bead is in the narrow portion of the rim so tire bead can form more of an ellipse . Remember a 1-inch peg will not fit in a 1-inch hole, you need some clearance room.

[@DFWMotoAdventures]

I have used the Baja No Pinch for years, the best tire tool ever. Great video, thanks

[@backcountryadvmoto]

+DFW Moto Adventures thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@edsyphan3425]

I'm surprised that no-one ragged you for not protecting the rotor when facing down. A pair of scrap 2 x 4's will do. One tip I would like to pass along: I like to put the tube in the tire first, then inflate just enough to give it shape. Then it will stay out of the way when you put the top bead on. Super jealous of your location, has to be one of the most beautiful places in the US.

[@BKM5931]

Damn it, now I have to buy something else lol. Great video as always buddy.

[@robertbotta6536]

Best tire change video EVER! Thanks buddy.

[@JanFMiller]

If you put the valve stem nut on the puller before you push it into the wheel, you can put the nut on before you remove it from the stem. I wouldn't step on the brake disk, but that's just me.. (:> Been thinking about getting a Baja, looks like a great tool. Thanks for the vid!

[@TBdown70]

I got the baja no puncher after watching this video it is Awesome thanks bro

[@daphnedevi]

I"m a big fan of the BullSnot... I discovered it maybe 2 years ago and it was a game changer... no more cursing when changing tires... almost no cursing anyway.

[@1LiterADV]

Thanks for video. Is the purple sleeve used for the front tire too on the AT 1000L?

[@backcountryadvmoto]

No, blue for the front purple for the rear 👍🏻

[@182mcg1]

I possible use at new tyres am use g clamp to drop edge tyres from rims, pro bed does not work tyres to soft tubeless stack like glue to rim

[@dabike]

Man, I wished I lived down the street from you so I could buy you a bunch of beers and have you teach me how to do all this stuff. But maybe with your videos I'll figure it out in my garage and not on the side of the road. I am still pretty much clueless. Wish you showed taking it off and putting it back on the bike as well.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

+Dennis A sorry bout that Dennis. That part is honestly not too bad. Loosen the adjusters in the side, remove the rear axle, and remove the wheel. Maybe I’ll record it next time I get a flat 🤣. On a serious note though I’ll keep that in mind when I get around to changing another tire. Cheers

[@timeslikethese6379]

Hello. Subscribed and watch all your vids. Question: Do you prefer tube tires or would you rather the bike had come with tubeless? Thanks.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thanks for the sub! I honestly do not care either way. They both have pros and cons

[@kymstock1852]

Cheap tricks: Use a space blanket/ foil emergency blanket under the tyre when you put it in the sun to soften. For lube, add some Lux Flakes laundry soap to very hot water . when it solidifies it makes a very good tyre lube.

[@buntaxxl]

American tools are the best!

[@MrRplo]

Great video - thanks. Do you carry the no pinch tool with you on your backcountry trips/trail rides?

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Yes I do, It stays on the bike at all times. I have the parts stored in various places so they do not get in the way and are easy to carry

[@mohinderlamba]

With all that bull snort on it is there any chance of the tyre slipping out of the rim especially on a hot day ride where the tyre pressure gets to max plus?

[@gta88ws6]

what color collar/shaft do you need for the front axle on the Africa twin for the No-pinch tool?

[@SuperMakija]

I wish I've watched this before pinching the tube twice and wrestling with the tyre to get the valve stem out! Thanks for the video!

[@texassledder]

Baja no pinch works awesome. Even I can change a tire using that!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Yes it does! Don't short yourself Jeremy, you'll be a backyard mechanic before you know it. You are getting some good practice ;)

[@snowcityrider4114]

what's is your consensus on balance beads for on the field replacement? I have been using them for years on my harley but i am pretty new to the ADV side of things

[@backcountryadvmoto]

+SnowCityRider I actually run them now. My only beef with them is if you adjust your pressures often, they can sometimes get fought in the valve stem and not allow it to seal.

[@northeastadventuremotorcycleri]

I'm noticing you're installing a tire on a 17-inch wheel and the tool is coming almost to the end of its gear throw, will this still work installing a 21 inch tire without running past the tools throw?

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Hey Rick, great question. It’s actually an 18in rear. Yes it will work in the 21. This tool was originally designed for track side tire changes so it actually designed for the larger wheel sizes.

[@northeastadventuremotorcycleri]

@@backcountryadvmoto hey thanks for the quick response, I'm definitely sold on this tool!

[@northeastadventuremotorcycleri]

i have used this tool at least 6 times now since we last texted...this tool is simply the best tool out there!! also, i put a little air in the tube and put it inside the tire before mounting it onto the rim, just put the stem through the rim and then start mounting the tire on the rim...alot easier than fishing for it with the wire

[@MuddyDrivewayProductions]

This is a great video! Wish I watched it before I used my Tool. Thanks for sharing!

[@Ralphlac]

very nice! made something "ish" like that a while ago consisting of nut I screwed onto my axel. I welded it to another nut that used a long piece of all-thread with a washer welded to the end to get the job done. This from your video looks like such an improvement from my old idea!

[@gunthernussmuller4863]

Better : ending the mounting at the - (valve ! - ( especially with narrow rims it is important ) - and if valve-position is marked on the tire, balancing will be correct again ! - ( if using the old tire )

[@turdferguson2863]

Ahh a fellow CDA ADV rider, neat

[@enfieldlover8145]

Never... ever ever ever ever... 'just push it out' :))))) never ever. Ever. Ever.... with the shinko 705, i have to see that yet. You make it look easy

[@backcountryadvmoto]

This was a motoz adv tire and it is by far the stiffest side wall of any tire I’ve changed. I’ve known guys to sawzall them off 😆. This tool works like a charm

[@joonask568]

Very informative video. I broke a tube when putting mitas e07+ on. It was so frustrating. Nice tool.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

+JoonasK 👍🏻

[@chadwalker8859]

Fantastic video! I Just purchased a no pinch Baja to change my mx bike tires. My first tire change using only spoons kicked my butt, so bad that I got so frustrated I just took it to get it done at a shop. Hopefully this tool will help me get it done at home. Thank you for great video!

[@gabrielosorio2172]

Hi, I bought my low no pinch and the truth has not been as easy as you show in your videos, I have a 2019 africa twin and I have not been able to mount a tire, what has happened is that the tire has been damaged, it could be that you have a larger tire than the rim to show that it fits easily? I stay tuned for some kind of help

[@backcountryadvmoto]

My tires are the same size as stock. 150/70/18 in the rear and 90/90/21 in the front. Alignment of the tool is important. Do you the tire elevated on on blocks or anything so the tool sits all the way down in the hole? Other than that, as long as you have the tool set up correctly without binding just make sure you start one side of the tire and get it pushed down into the center of the rim and with the tool take small bites back and forth. The video is done in real time. No tricks.

[@gabrielosorio2172]

@@backcountryadvmoto no friend it definitely seems impossible to change my tires, I have already tried with several tires, and only the tires that are softer are the only ones that I have been able to mount, I would like to share a video so that you can help me

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Shoot me an email [e-mail]

[@Advcrazy]

The tool doesn’t scratch the rim repeatedly?

[@backcountryadvmoto]

James Hooker Good question James, the lip on the tool isn’t long enough to touch the rim. If used correctly it should never touch the wheel. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@Advcrazy]

Backcountry Adventure Motorsports ah, clever! Thanks for the reply!

[@Tb0n3]

I'm jealous of how easy that came off having done an Anakee Wild myself. That was a stiff one.

[@TheIdlesurfer]

Anakee Wild is one stiff bastard of a tyre. I have felt your pain. I did mine with levers, tire spoons as you say in the US. I wish I'd had that magic little tool.

[@culverap]

What brand tube do you use? I find it hard finding the correct tube size for this wheel size

[@zachd3146]

What tire do you like for idaho? I'm doing the second half of the BDR in August. Oops didn't watch till the end. Follow up, how did the shinko compare to the ones you mentioned?

[@backcountryadvmoto]

The Shinkos are ok, but the 805 has almost a paddle to it and I dont like the lateral movement of it. It really likes to kick out to the right on the gnarly stuff

[@danbraden4401]

Great video...How many flats do you get a season? I got a 2017 AT and I'm looking at the 2020 mainly for the tubeless wheels. Do you know if they make that much of a difference? I demoed a new and wow soooo much more power it was awesome. So still going to buy one just wondering about the wheels?

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Tubeless can be easier for sure. What I like about tubes is that if you bend a wheel you can still roll with it instead of trying to beat it and straighten it out. plus if you tear a side wall you can still be ok with a tube ( sometimes) Honestly, Ive never had a flat on my AT, but Im constantly changing tires for the people i ride with. when you are in a group we have the mentality that his flat is also yours so help out lol

[@traveling_on_2wheels]

Hey man thanks for the video, but I guess this baja tool will not work on the bmw R1200 GS rear wheel because there is not axle to stick the tool. Do you know a similar tool that will work on the BMW wheel? Thanks!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

+juan zapata I don’t know of a similar tool, but I bet you could fabricate a adapter that would make it work for you. Even a simple piece of wood with a hole in it that fits inside your wheel would work.

[@traveling_on_2wheels]

Backcountry Adventure Motorsports Ok Thank you

[@BigRigRich]

My Super10 has tubeless tires, so I do carry plugs. However, I’ve heard guys say the carry a tube in case they cut a side wall, so they can at least get somewhere to replace the tire. Can you put your 2 cents in on the subject? Great videos by the way. And thanks for your service.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Yes I would recommend carrying a tube. If you slash a sidewall or dent the rim bad enough that the tire will not seat on the bead, you can use a tube to get you by.

[@egary1974]

I knew more about beer when I lived in north Idaho too. The winters are indeed long.

I’m gonna have to order one of these. I put a Dunlop Trailmax Mission on a couple of days ago and was not having a good time.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Its a game changer for sure. I have a manual tire stand, and I dont even use it anymore

[@alozborne]

Me too! Did a month's worth of swearing over the course of about 90 minutes before giving up. The front was doable, the rear was impossible. I'm sceptical that the Baja could mount a TMM on my CB500X though as the mechanic at my local shop took about 30 minutes using a machine. After he was done he said that he wouldn't recommend the TMMs for my bike. I won't be buying another set of TMMs, although at least they are tubeless and have a very stiff sidewall so hopefully they won't puncture out in the middle of nowhere

[@lw8447]

Do you pack the no pinch on trips or just the spoons?

[@backcountryadvmoto]

I pack both. The spoons are in my tool bag, and my no pinch I’m in a giant loop zigzag pouch on my crash bars. I use the spoon to get the tire off and the no pinch to put it back on

[@chrismaginn]

Do you only need the lube for the rear, or do you use it on front as well?

[@robbloforese]

Thank you for a helpful video 👍

[@badgermtn]

Nice tool. I would get one if I thought it would work on my Harley tires, but their sidewalls are extremely stiff to where this tool may not cut the mustard. I've more than once poked holes in tubes...very irritating!!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

I think it would work. The amount of force it produced is pretty surprising

[@TheVaporous1]

[@backcountryadvmoto]

+Ed Easy I’ll see what I can do.

[@mattluettgen]

pinch the tire 180 away from the spoon, then lever. If you do it right the bead 180 degrees away from the spoon will pull into the lowest spot of the rim. Not always easy to do depending on sidewall stiffness etc...

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Biker Sasquatch haha no worries. I hear ya, I’ve always used spoons till about a year ago. The one thing that this tool does that I really like is give me the piece of mind that the tube isn’t going to get pinched when spooning the tire on. That just sucks especially when you only have one tube to work with

[@NewBelgiumCO]

Backcountry Adventure Motorsports, I’ve got the rear wheeled taped, and have gone tubeless. Running a UHD up front. So far the tubeless set up out back has been great! I’ve been running Kenda Big Blocks, the price is so good, but I may give your tire suggestions a shot!
