Hey CC I bought some of those powermadd mirrors for my bike. I have since broken one by dropping the bike on a steep incline so I emailed powermadd and told them what happened. They responded in (literally) five minutes and said if I sent them a picture of the broken mirror they would send me a new one free of charge. Thanks for recommending a great product made by a great company.

[@robertholsopple9451]

I ruined a tire my 1st time too. Don't feel bad. Nice to see someone make a video about how easy it is to ruin a expensive tire. Most people don't mention the tire has to be in that groove. Experience is a hell of a teacher. Good video! Btw, sometimes it easier if the NEW tire sits in the sun for an hour or if its winter I put a hair drier on low inside the tire and put the tire in a box if I have one big enough. WARM TIRES ARE ALOT MORE PLIABLE!

[@krugerblue]

Man, i sincerely admire your DIY attitude. I do a lot of work on my cars, but i believe that sometimes if you pay for something, it ends up being cheaper :)

This is an exceptional how to, I just order a new set for my 2001 Kawasaki ninja 500r, and have already torn most of it apart and put it back together just to familiarize myself with it. This how-to just gave me the courage to do something I once thought would be too difficult :)

This is the first video of urs I’ve seen. I have to say pretty good stuff. Wish I would’ve known back in the day when I started out. Look forward to more. Keep up the good work bro.

[@CycleCruza]

Thanks! I appreciate it. I wish I had known this back in the day too, it would have saved me money and time dealing with lazy shops that take all day to mount tire and balance them. It's nice to be self sufficient and learn to do things yourself and not have to rely on others.

[@nicktruong1000]

Exactly. I bought all my stuff at Harbor Freight for less than 1 trip to the shop to change a tire. And I know it’s done right.

[@Strict-Sandwich]

Thanks man I did the exact same thing as you first time around. Them dang sidewalls are stiff. 100 but a good lesson and some experience gained.

[@GixxerFoo]

I can't get it mannn... omg I almost I died the way you said that!!! Great job on the tires! Inspired me to try myself, probably a bad idea but that's how you learn.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

great to see you giving it another go and, success. Now you are SuperCruza the tyre changing king. I'm going to change out my front tyre soon too after doing the rear this summer it should be easier. Good to how others do it, Great tips thanks.

[@JimmieJohn]

hey man, what about balancing beads? do you use them?

[@LeeBo318]

That's why I'm in the comments, for your exact question.... have you used them yet? I had a new rear tire installed a couple of days ago on my zx14, and my buddy used the Dyno beads, and we removed the weights....it feels exactly the same to me.

[@kaiul2967]

It always pays to have the right tools. And it always saves to DIY. Nice job, I'll have to consider doing this job myself now when the time comes. Do you think sportbike tires will be more difficult?

[@josebendana]

I had the same experience as your previous video today, tried to be cheap and do it myself but damaged the bead on my new tire. I'm gonna go buy a couple of bead keepers and try tomorrow!

[@tad3531]

Hi cyclecruza, today my mechanic changed my tire on my cbr 125 r. He couldn't get the rear tire to fit correctly in the wheel so he put an airchamber in it, but it is a tubeless wheel :/ is it dangerous(maximum speed of the cbr125r is 130km/h(or 80mph)) can my tire blow up?(i read that the air between the tire and the chamber can explode the chamber or the tire if it gets to hot)

Ok so I remember watching your some of your videos a while back. You were talking about how expensive it is to own certain bikes because of maintenance through the the dealerships. I do my own maintenance, valve jobs, everything. I take my wheels and tires and to a shop. C'mon Cycle Cruza, everything else is easier than tire changes without a machine.

[@CycleCruza]

C'mon change tires yourself, it's so easy it's not funny with these tips I gave. The two bead buddies make changing tires a cinch.

[@tedmarakas2626]

Just did my Aprilia Tuono tires. It took me for both tires 1 hour including balancing. I love Continental tires, they are soft and super easy to mount. I used 3 rubber rim savers and a spoon. No scratches, no damage on the wheel or tire. It would have taken me more time if I had to remove the tires, this time the tires were taken off by the previous owner. P.S. I wish that I had a set of knee pads, my knees are kinda sore.

Awww man, I remember my first tire change. It was pretty easy on the front and just like what happened to you on the rear. Finally got it after taking a little break. But had to take it to a shop since my tire inflator didn't have enough power to pop it. Got them balanced for free since it just needed air to pop it.

Those weights at 8:50. My local dealership left those on my wheels when I had them do tire changes for both of my bikes, and then I would get pissed off and remove them. Was I supposed to keep them there?

[@ralphkrueger5386]

They need to be there to balance the wheel/tire assembly. On spoke rims I prefer the weights that go in the spoke, can't fly off and doesn't look ugly on an awesome rim. Mag wheels basically have no choice. I agree with another reply that said to turn the tire 90* or even start at 180* and see if it lowers the weight needed to do the job. The red dot is the starting point.

[@E2Moto]

And yet, Suzuki never left them there when I bought my bikes. Why?

[@ralphkrueger5386]

2 possible reasons: the first tires were perfect, which isn't likely or they weren't balanced from the factory if your talking about a new bike. Me personally for my own bike with beautiful mags, which I don't have, would mark the tire, pull it off and put a patch inside the tire to weight it. I would do this only after trying to turn the tire first, make the least weight possible. My DRZ400's wheels are so scratched from the first owner it doesn't matter, but I still prefer the weight on the spoke.

[@E2Moto]

I see, and I also own SM DRZ, and then a 17' SV650 a year later. The weights on my SV are still there, but I happen to just give up because they were too hard and risky to remove, and didn't want to scratch my wheels. Thanks for the enlightenment, though. I never could have known that.

[@rickdamico5733]

I am trying to put a tire on a vstar 650. Wont go on. If I send you the tire and rim, how much would you charge. I cannot find a motorcycle service place in the Denver area that is willing to do tires. I dropped it off at a Sun Honda, they had the bike for 2 weeks and said they were not able to get tires on. We are not a big motorcycle place so not much for service here.

[@jadesunde6199]

What rear tire size are you running ?

[@Theillestrator1050]

did the same (breaking the tire bead) but you can just throw some liquid rubber cement on it if you wanna be cheap. Mine lasted the life of the tire.

no, it's just dish soap. Just use a little in some water,

[@superglidefletch8003]

I'm not sure what Ohio charges for that but Texas is around 20.00 a tire for mounting and balancing and installing it back on your bike. Most places you only have to buy the tires from them. thanks for the tips if I ever need it but it's pretty cheap just to have less aggravation. Love the new bike but I'm missing the WR!

[@CycleCruza]

It's often cheaper to buy tires online but if you can find a good deal locally I would still install my own tire, I'd rather have that $20 in my pocket! Here they charge $30 a tire at the cheapest! The more you change tires yourself the easier it gets. As you see my second time it only took me less than 15 minutes. It's so easy if you know what to do. First time always sucks tho.

[@superglidefletch8003]

[@alexsainsbury2176]

those are some hot looking tyres cruza

[@kinghoffbeers7419]

Awesome balancing video super cool nice work

[@wordreet]

It'll do! For everyone's info. The "V" part of the wheel's cross section shape is called the "well". It allows the tire's bead to go over the sides of the rim that are bigger than the bead diameter, as the opposite part of the circle moves into the well. Don't use too strong a mixture of soapy water by the way. Just about the same as you might use to wash dishes by hand. Tire shops use a special soap paste, which doesn't affect the rubber. Neat dish soap won't dry off and actually makes the bead slippery almost permanently.

[@CycleCruza]

No more shops for me! I actually look forward to changing tires now, takes me less than 15 minutes a tire. I installed my rear tire on the rim in less than 5 minutes!

[@wordreet]

When I was doing it as a job, 2.5 mins including balancing. ;¬)

[@MathieuTechMoto]

Make sure that the two beads side are in the middle of the rim to install the tire ! sometimes you will have to flip your wheel over to unstick the bead

[@robertg.durant8489]

Those are awesome looking rims

[@djohnson3678]

i couldnt see if you put the red dot at the valve stem or not. me, if it turned some then i would have marked the heavy part, then the light part, let the air out, broke both beads, turned the tire 1/4 turn, put a lil air in it ( but not to seat ) , put on balancer , and rechecked it for the 'true tire ' . then filled it to the proper pressure. besides, you didnt check the spokes to see if there was no leaks. .. get a tub ( oblong) put warm soapy water in it, set tire in it, rotate it slowly to make certain there is no leaks. awsome video !!

[@babyfaceross9211]

Thanks now I know how to install and balance my own wheels now. Shops by me charge 100 bucks a tire to mount

[@CycleCruza]

Yeah not only expensive BUT they take a long time to mount the tire. Any shop around here has you bring in the wheels in the morning and have you pick them up in the evening or even the next day. One dealership told me it would take a week to get to the wheels. lol Screw all of them, I can easily do it myself now. I wish I knew how to do this years ago, it would have saved me a lot of irritation, time and money.

[@qwertyqwerty3133]

They make something called bead sealer that can be used to stop leaks at the bead. It's like liquid rubber. Break the bead off the rim, brush it on the bead and reseat the tire. For future reference or for someone else.

If you are a committed lifelong motorcycle rider then skip the 900 dollar telephone one year and buy a manual tire machine. Shops in my area won't mount carry in tires and their mark up on tires is out of my budget when I can do the work myself. I bought a Coats 220 twenty years ago and it paid for itself in 4 tire changes. I maintain a Vstrom, Goldwing and an HD Road King. Thumbs up to ya' for sharing your tips, successes and failures. Ride safe.

[@herbwag6456]

I'm glad you tried again and didn't leak out. It's never easy but getting the opposite side into the well or valley makes all the difference. The grunting apeman music was appropriate too!

[@tegan7062]

Split the weights onto both sides of run so let’s say you use 4 weights 2 on one side of spokes 2 on the other side.

[@Ezude]

If you think you’re going to be doing this often. Spend an extra 80 dollars and get the tusk tire changing stand. It gets you off the floor. I had 4 flat tires, I could spend 80 bucks on a stand, or I could pay a shop 300 doll hairs (yes. I quoted it) The stand paid for itself first use and this is a tool i will have forever. Good luck guys
