very informative and straight to the point. i just watched a different tire changing vid before this one and the dude spent almost half the video just talking about how he didnt like the factory tires lol.
Thanks! Yeah, that’s annoying when people try to interject a lot of personal opinion in a how-to video. My back tire is about to need to be replaced, so I’ll probably do a video on it as well. That and replacing the swing arm chain slide.
Should you have it balanced? I replaced my back tire (same bike) today with a Shink 705 and took it up to shop and had it balanced. Going to replace the front tire tomorrow. I was planning on having it balanced as well.
I didn’t balance mine (other than aligning the red circle with the valve stem) and haven’t had any issues. But having it properly balanced should give you a smoother ride on the road.
@@FixandMaintain Thanks for such a speedy reply! I will order tyres and fit them myself. Going for less knobbly ones for my crf250, better suited to road use.
I have Shinko 705 front and back and love them. I do have a knobby rear tire in my garage that I can change out if I want to go off roading, but most of the time the 80/20 tires are perfect for what I need.

Thanks, great video. Was going to get a shop to do, but over £100 for the pair. Is rear as easy?
Pretty much! I just changed the rear on mine and filmed it, but haven’t had time to edit and record the voiceover yet.

@@FixandMaintain that was one of the tires I was considering . Good to hear that yourate them highly. Thanks
how did you get the bike on the 5 gal bucket?
One hand on the frame, one hand on the rear wheel, and lift. It’s a little awkward because of the size of the bike, but it works for me.
What kind of grease do you use for the seals
I use Bel-Ray waterproof grease: amzn.to/3Fljo4V (ad)
You don't want to add too much or else it will attract dirt.
