Hey Josh you should youtube changing motorcycle tires using zip ties and see what ya think. I've used this idea several times it's the only way I'll do it now.

@engir63 Ай бұрын

Good morning Mr. Surgeon this was a great video and would love to see this become a regular or series on the channel.

@keithhuntsman9455 Ай бұрын

$60/year to have any motorcycle repair question honestly and factually answered that could potentially save you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. You can't beat that deal!

First, this new mechanical series with Joe is indispensable and thank god it lives here on the internet for all of eternity. B, 2 seasons with my local shop changing tires plus the gouge they put in my beautiful gold cross spoke rims....then watching you guys...it will only take 3 seasons and the Rabaconda will pay for itself. Keep it up Joe and you're gonna be a STAR!!

Dear Mr. Surgeon, This guy is a gem. Thank you, sir.

@upchuckchops Ай бұрын

This is awesome. Thank you guys. I learned to balance a wheel by watching an older (80 year old) fella do it like you did. But he didn’t explain what he was doing.

@SGTvolcan Ай бұрын

When i changed the tires on my dual sport it was 98 degrees and i didn't have a fan or stand. It was 2 spoon bars and piece of particle board on the floor to prevent damage to the hard wood floor of the shed. It wasn't as bad of a time people were making it out to be. Simply because i let the 2 new tires sit ontop of the SUV in direct sun for 2 hours before i put them on the rim. For balancing i used 2 floor jack stands and the tires axle bar to find the heavy spot.

Damn that stand seems like a life saver, I wrestled some shinko 777's for my sportster and I was hating like doing in on the garage floor and decided to use cyclegears free tire change with purchase for my next set on my striple but that was a 3 day ordeal and in a different city so a long drive. Thank you guys for this, great content, makes me wish i lived in florida so i could ride with you guys!

@northranger741 Ай бұрын

You know what, I'm actually getting a new front tire put on next week because I wasn't confident in dealing with bead sealing and other tire shenanigans... But Joe did a great job in convincing me that it's not all that bad. I might do it myself next time.

I've poor boy'd my fair share of tires over the years, last ones being during covid lockdown, a set of four 31-10.50's. One thing I have never attempted is fork seals, and I have a little bit of oil showing on one and gonna have to do it before to much longer. Any advice from the Surgeon and the Jedi would be awesome. Loving these vids and all the vids really. Thanks!

I helped my Dad and uncle change a tubed tire on a CB750 when I was a teenager. It took a fair bit longer, and involved significantly more sweat and indelicate language, as I recall.

@robedmunds7163 29 күн бұрын

Two further tips. Warm the Tyre in the sun or with a heat gun, makes life easier. Also start and finish at the valve stem then you can push it up to keep front snagging the tube.

Brought a smile and was a fantastic memory of my dad whos been gone for 34 years.

I'm sorry, but somehow my reply to your comment vanished!! I hope the memory was a good one for you.....I catch myself doing the same thing at odd times throughout the day.

My sympathies on your loss sir, I know that pain well brother.

This content is very helpful to those of us not skilled enough to be a "surgeon". I can ride them, but I can't fix them. Joe's nature seems to perfectly align with the idea of teaching. He is very calm in his explanations and does not panic when things are not as expected. I hope we can get much more content with Joe. And as always, Josh thanks for keeping it weird.

As someone who only has a small amount of confidence when working on a 70's or 80's Japanese dirt or street bike. I have a desire to learn how to do at least regular maintenance on my 2005 Dyna.

@bennyj.8085 Ай бұрын

I've probably changed 20 tires by hand with no stand. For a bead breaker, I used a old bumper jack, putting the base on the bead and jack it up. It works slick as shit.

I do mine on a mat in the driveway/garage with spoons. The first time was fun. An 05 sporty with factory tires in 22. I do have a manual press that I used with wood blocks to break the beads though. Be creative and the journey makes itself.

I've been using a Rabaconda for about 4 years and let me tell you the money was money well spent. It makes changing tires a breeze and when you change tires as many times as I do as well as all of my friends now that they know I have a tire changer. The instructions from Joe the Mountain Jedi was excellent.

@packgrog Ай бұрын

Fantastic stuff, Joe! Thank you! Well outside of what I'd be able to do in my parking spot, sadly, but excellent knowledge either way.

@joekool4 Ай бұрын

Love it! I've changed countless tires by wrestling them on the floor with spoons and a C clamp to break the bead. Even my kids helped me. But I started by using big flathead screwdrivers on bicycle tires. I usually used Dishsoap, byt now I'll try silicone. One thing a bunch of guys suggested when I got my harbor freight wheel holder, was to bend the tabs that clamp down on the rim. So it doesn't pop off. And get a big NoMar brand tire iron.

Run across a tubeless with a stubborn to seat bead where I've used ratchet straps placed down center of tire to push sidewalls out...Rare to need it on motorcycle tire but handy tip for heavier lug ATV/lawn mower/small tractor tires.... > Used to see (even in pro shops way back when) old metal trashcan with plate at bottom & steel rod thru center...fill trashcan with gravel,rocks/brick,etc.anything heavy for weight = cobbled up tire change stand... Great video ! I like those longer tire spoons with actual handles.

@TODDFINK1 Ай бұрын

Great vid! Thank you for the insight. I like to do work myself that way if it gets screwed up i'm the one to blame. Not to mention i can look at everything to have an understanding and an eye on everything. I have a shop i trust for tires and they have really good prices imho so i think until they prove me wrong i'll stick with them for my tires at least.

I also find leaving the new tire to soak in the sun, if available, helps with mounting it. If no sun, then a hair dryer or heat gun (carefully) will help relax the tire and make installation that much easier ...

I love the collaboration between Shadetree and Joe... but I hope Joe will start his own channel at some point. I frickin' hate changing tires. It always takes me 3 times as long as I budget for. That Rabaconda device that Weems has looks really nice. I don't change tires that often so it's hard to justify buying one of those. I think I've changed 3 sets of motorcycle tires in my life. I cursed and screamed the whole time.
