- 20 years riding and I confirmed the reason I never change my own tyres.
Long video for Front and Aft Tyre replacement on the Ducati Multistrada - The struggle is real.
Good video and as you said it was your first time. It's good to see the problems as well as the solutions. Many videos make things look much easier than the reality.
Your video was very helpful thanks for taking the time. Nice bikes. On the newer year models the exhaust/silencer shrouds don’t have to be removed when taking off the silencer as the notch is straight and it can just pulled/wiggled straight off.
The paint mark on the tyre is to be matched next to the valve. Most of the time it requires less weight for balancing.
I did that on the front. On the rear i kinda wanted to test how legit it was. It wasn't really exactly opposite. so not sure if the tyre was just out or the wheel.
Put the red dot on the tire at the valve stem. I thought the multi tires were pretty easy to change, dirt bike tires are a lot harder to change. I don't think you need to take the muffler apart, just remove the black shield and loosen the clamp bolt and remove as a unit
When inflating the new tyre(tire) keep the valve core out if you are seating the bead. It allows more air into the tire seating it faster.
Nice idea. Didn't think of that.
good Video! ON your rear tyre, did the chain some mark on the left side? I ve got in this moment on my mts the bridgestone battlax, and did
I didn't notice mate. I'll watch for that on the new ones.
Blimey.. that looks like far to much hassle.. Local tyre shop £12 for fit and balance
Yeah that's pretty good price mate. I live near Seattle at the moment and prices are starting to get silly. They either way over charge for the tyre or charge a lump to swap them.
You had the tyre levers too far apart. With one lever in notice there is a gap between the bead seat and the rim a few inches away from the first lever. Put the second lever in the gap then move successively around the rim. Stiffness of the tyre isn’t really a problem. Practise, practise. Fuck! Don’t put your fingers between the tyre and the rim, EVER! when inflating, unless you could get by OK with fewer.
I agree on all points.. except the points I lost.
A few pointers: more lubrication! Suirt bottle with dish soap works well and really hose those beads. Will make everything a lot easier (and you can see bubbles if the bead does not have a good seal when you inflate it.)
Regarding your balancing: More Patience! Don't nudge the tire in any direction.
It's basically: mark bottom. Put said mark at either 3 or 9 o'clock position and let go (don't nudge it). If mark lines up at the bottom again it's reliable. Apply weights and repeat.
And don't stick weights in more than 1 spot. If you do, you've applied too much weights the first time. If you need to apply more than 50g total on a motorcycle wheel, something's wrong (Tire balancing mark not lined up + a TPMS sensor can cause this kind of unbalance. If this is not the case, tire could be faulty).
Oh, and a bit of lube on your shaft is good practice ;)
Why would you risk damaging a very expensive rim, rather than being charged a few £/$ to change a tyre at your local shop??
If it was 15mins and a few quid its a good point. When i was in Seattle it was a hell of a trecj and often meant taking time off work to fit in their schedule. Now i live in the mountains so its far more attractive option.
from the start to the end on word "bungle"
