I don't see your link to to the tire changer in your description.
So im someone who enjoys the small details and actually feel the video is ..would be better with you showing all your steps.even if it's a super lengthy video ..
If someone doesn't like it they can skip to the next step ...
But I did want to see how long that pump took because I have a portable rechargeable one for 80.00 so it's interesting for me
The yellow dot is the *lightest* part of the tire. That mates up with the valve stem, or the heaviest part of the wheel, and means there is less weights required for balancing.
I thought that was weird.
@@sadow51Thank you. He didn't hear me when I yelled at the TV.
I’ve been using the Rabaconda for about a year now. It may seem like alot but after you change a few tires and get comfortable you’ll see how great it is. I can change a tire in about 10 mins now. If you’re a street rider you may not see the worth, but if you race and change tires frequently having this changer is very necessary.
He dot on the tire is the lightest part of the tire, and you align it with the valve because the valve adds weight.
Might pay to check the balance of your rim before you mount the new tire. The valve goes in the hole of the rim where metal (heavy)was removed--drilled out so possibly light spot.
@@harley5881 I also balance the wheel before mounting the tire. The valve stem isnt always the heaviest point of the rotating combo when the brake disc and sprocket is installed. I mark the disc and sprocket after finding the heaviest point, and then remove them during tire mounting. I just mounted two tires by hand today. I swear im getting this tool when it comes time to change a tire again.
@@MrBigSp00n I am planning on making one. I have the steel and duck head. Thinking if I bother with the ratchet I will use a 1/2 inch ratchet socket handle. Maybe play flat too. 👍👍
@@flippy66 Yep. It is best if you determine the heaviest spot with the balancing stand and align it with the lightest spot of the tire.
WARNING: don't have your fingers anywhere near the tire when you apply air to seat the bead. 🙂
I can definitely vouch for the rabaconda tire changer! It’s worked great for me!
If you like the tire changer so much, why not put a link in the description?
Because it’s not an ad
Nice to see a trusted person review this product - rather than the tons of reviewers that I don't "know". I don't need a tire changer right now but hopefully will have a good black Friday deal.
I love my Rabaconda. I forgot to put tire lube on one day (in my haste) and fully mounted a set of S22's before I even realized that there was no lube. I have absolutely no regrets on this purchase.
I have a No Mar changer bolted to the floor of my garage, and was considering a Rabaconda to free up space, and am totally sold after seeing this.
Best tire mounting lube I’ve found is Ruglyde. You spray it on and it’s excellent at getting the beads over the rim lip. It dries to a powder so no residue inside the tire. Works better than the grease in my experience ( mostly race car tires but motorcycle road tires, too.) Great video, nice machine if you do a lot of your own motorcycle tires. Will take a few years to pay back for most people, but if you have a group of riding buddies would be great to chip in.
Thanks Yammie, Very instructional and the tire changer works great !!
Great video, ill take this as my sign to finally change my tires
There’s always one artist amongst the crew.
Wow that just blew my mind... wtf. I used to do my own tires on my car and this is definitely the move. I'm sold.
I have the Rabconda to change my slicks for the track. Thanks for making this video. It broke it down to the easiest way to do it.
Great Content!
Thanks Yam!
It's definitely a good thing to consider if you're doing a lot of miles, lots of burnouts, or have mates that are doing the same.
Thank you Yammie Noob some more DIY videos would be epic
i was ready to turn my nose up at this set up. I worked automotive for 20 years for Audi and changed hundreds of auto tires, and a few years with a motorcycle shop in the bay area - another few hundred motorcycle tires. I bought the harbor freight tire changer and modified it to take my Kawasaki Concours tires (I commute 500 mile a week - go bay area!) but that's a crap set up. I bought the No Mar motorcycle tire change a few months back but haven't unboxed it yet...... but this tool looks really really good. It's small and light and doesn't look like it moved around or flexed at all. The heavy duty tongue that runs on the bead of the tire looks like automotive and will no way scratch your rim. Very impressive. Wish i hada thought of it! And yes.... you must use copious amounts of grease and lube when mounting.
Wouldn't you want the tyres heavy spot directly opposite the valve so that you required less balance weights?
That’s the way I do it.
Yes, that way it starts off already mostly balanced.
Tire*
@kawaiikabar1932 Maybe for you... but we spell the word 'tyre' here in the UK.
Putting all the weight in the same spot will make it way easier to find a way more consistent miss balance, I'd rather have to find 3g on one spot then 1g on 2.....
If you want it to beeven easier, use the tire warmer on the tire before taking it off and on so its a bit warm and softer.
I just saw this and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking to get. I have trouble removing tires using tire tools alone. And I don’t want to mount a tire removal tool to the floor of my (personal) garage. It would take too much space. But this looks like just the right fit.
Thanks! 🏍💨🏍💨
The smiley man looks so happy about his hat! How nice
I'm definitely get one of those! Awesome
boy that made things a lot easier...more time to ride...thanks have a safe day..
An actual product that i dont have to fast foward the video to see it in action. Actualy amazinly fast!
Couple of additional things. Dawn dishwashing liquid makes a great tire bead lubricator. If the new tire is collapsed from sitting on a pile of tires or is a wrapped tire that the beads are too close together; put soda cans between the beads in several places to stretch the tire wider and put it in a warm place for a while to assist in the stretching making it easier to inflate. (such as the tire is very cold in winter climates). Also Harbor Freight has a nice cheap bead breaker but no nice spiral bead remover/installer like your Barraconda.
great vido Yamm! Use a No-Mar not as easy as this demo! Good info. Thanks!
Hey Yammster!!! Now that’s a helpful video!!!
Great Explanation !
Recently did my first tire change since the shop I usually bring the wheels to decided to double their price 😮. I have six bikes so the bead breaker stand and spoon set I bought will pay for themselves quickly. I always use the ceramic beads for balancing so no need for the balancer. Actual tire mounting lube makes it soo much easier versus windex or something similar.
Commonly I've both seen and used Dawn dish soap since it's both lubricating and self cleaning with water. The grease is still better?
@@jerryglennie5375 yes, I couldn't get the bead to seat properly on one tire so I got the tire lube from O'Reilly's and it seated right away. Made spooning the tire on soo much quicker than the first time too. The excess dried to a foam consistency and wiped right off. The dish soap is too runny so I didn't want it to use it since it could seep into the tire and get on the balancing beads. The tire lube is thick and doesn't run.
@@FAFObozo 👍 thanks for that. I never minded the runniness of the soap but ether seems like a bad idea on aluminum wheels to get a good seat
I absolutely need/want/must have that tire changer!!!
I couldn't believe it when I heard the ratchet on the duckhead. I thought ok, that's just their way of giving the person who mounts a bit more space. But no, this makes stuff SO MUCH easier. I know the brand from their off-road version, and have seen this one a while ago. Got one of the ground level street tools, but I think it's time to change to Rabaconda now. My back will thank me aswell mounting tyres more of standing. 😉😂
West Texas goes for $50 a tire. Or $25 a tire if you by then through cycle gear. In southern New Mexico it’s 125 minimum a tire. 😮
So you apparently knew I needed new tires huh....thanks for the video!!!
It's easier if you put a bit of lube on the tire iron, and if you squeeze the tire on the side opposite the one you are working on (180 deg away, iow), so that it drops into the center more easily. Although, that may not be easy with that tool. Lubing the bead a bit can help as well.
Are we gonna project farm this? What other competitors are on the market and how does it stack up with this?
Put the dot on the opposite side of the valve stem and you don't have to worry about balancing
My new tire has a yellow dot and red dot. I've heard the red is light and yellow is heavy. The valve stem is the heavy spot? Would it make seto Line up the light part of tire with valve stem? I'm asking sincerely
@@chadridsdale9970 It ultimately doesn't matter, however, you wont have to hassle with the balancing as much if you put the heavy part of the tire opposite of the valve stem. Just depends on how many weights you want to put on your rim lol.
You may find the US manufactured tires have the yellow dot as the light spot and goes at the valve with the red dot being the lowest tread depth. Lowest tread depth may be important as a new tire but if worn may not matter at all. I can't imagine it being that much different in tread depth. Other places may not do the same. @@chadridsdale9970
That equipment is fantastic! I'm sold! Now i gotta save up 🤦♂️🤣
Awesome video. I was shocked by the price of that Rabaconda but it seems to be worth the price! Might spend the extra buck and buy it
"They didn't sponsor or pay me to pitch this....". But they sent you a machine for free. 🤣
In my experience leaving the valve core out makes it easier for even small air compressors to seat the tyre bead, since more air can flow into the tyre.
Even more important is that if something goes wrong, you can quickly move away from the wheel and the air will escape, making the assembly safe. If the core is in, you have to re-approach to take the core out and deflate the tire. Plus, since I have tubes, I inflate and deflate my tires several times while bouncing and turning them to avoid pinches. Then, the last time I stick the core in before the air has a chance to escape
Da faq is a "Tyre"?!? 😂
@@matthuber1333 Same thing as a Tire, Tyre is just the british english way of spelling it.
@@SnakePlizkin I know.. just guffin.
@@matthuber1333 Dafuq is a "guffin"?!?
Well, this seems like it’s an absolutely fantastic product. I just ordered one and it will fit my tire so it says or rim as the cases so that would be sick and I’m OK with spending money inconvenience and ease of changing the tire. It will take a bit, but for me this product will pay for itself eventually, plus I’m a fancy fornicator. I’m OK with spending extra money to get the best manual tire changer.
I just did mine last month my adviceit is grab a friend tire spoons and some touch up paint lol and something i wish i had known prior to doing it was the zip tie hack
Man the only thing I’m worried about is wheel scratches but that method looks so easy!
screw drivers and those metal pry bar things are far worse... ask me how I know...
The adapter head has a rubber covering I believe, also if you add a rubber coating where your tools touch the wheel you'll help prevent more scratches.
they make dedicated pry bars that are rubberized/plastidiped. They are a bit harder to use compared to bare metal (more friction).
Now do a tire with spokes.
For what this coat they could have thrown in a b alancer, valve core removal ext. Mine as well grab the harbor frieght one for $120. This would be nice for track though.
Not bad, managed to really show off the rabaconda ;). Skipped the boring balancing part mostly, Could've balanced it in the time you were talking about it; if you didn't keep interrupting it from settling. Also - replace the tyre valve if it's a street bike - the whole valve, especially if it's a rubber stem. And leave the core out when seating the bead, so much easier to seat, doesn't risk overpressuring the valve core and allows air into the tyre faster. Once the second bead has popped you can let the air back out, replace the core and inflate to pressure.
Okay, I wish I hadn't of seen this video. Now I want to go drop way more money than I should on one. 🤣
Gotta get me on of those
Need to do this
excellent tutorial, I wish that Rabaconda was a bit more consumer friendly in price though!
If you buy your tires from a small local shop, they typically do the tire change for only $30 (or around there iirc). If you bring your own they charge more though. I just change my own tires because I like to be on my own schedule and not have to drive it somewhere, hope the weather is nice, have to wait for them to do it etc. And yes, cheaper in the long run.
Should do a video putting the new cl500 through its paces off road
Starting at 14:56 Where he is talking about the heavy spot on the tire he misspoke . The yellow dot is always the lightest part of the tire not the heaviest . He did put the yellow dot at the steam so he did it right he just said the yellow dot was the heaviest ,it is not its the lightest part of the tire .
Big question, this product won't scratch your nice rims if you have carbon or some other fancy rims? Looks very easy to use!
Yellow dot is the heaviest part of the tire, red dot is the lightest. I typically put the yellow dot opposite the valve stem so you need to add less weight but the difference is probably negligible.
Is there a Rabaconda tire changer for other kinds of vehicles? Could help with doing your tire changes on your own car.
Things can be cheaper doing your own tires but i just take my wheels off and take them to cycle gear usually they have a promotion for free instals if you buy the tire there . With that said the things you have to do when puttin your tires on is important and some people they are probably better off leaving it to a shop to do cause they hopefully wont skip anything
Takes me back to my days of working at Discount Tire. Pretty sweet straight forward setup.
A lot of valve dust caps have a core remover on the reverse side
Yammie: "yall should get this"
Also yammie: *no link*
For everybody commenting about the valve stem being the heaviest part of the wheel, well thats NOT always the case, and unless you balance your wheel / find the heaviest point, without the tire mounted, then you don’t know IF the valve point is heaviest or not. I’ve checked my wheel that has a metal T valve and it is not the heaviest point and thats using three different static balancers.
No, but that's the rule of thumb to be followed. Especially by a shop. The weights do the rest.
Today I learned that YammieNoob clearly doesn't skip leg day.
I change my tire myself cuz i go through like 3 set of tire on my excf per season so its worth it , but if i had a street bike where tire last a very long time i wouldnt bothers , it isnt hard but it isnt something i enjoy doing
I kinda thought he was going to show us a roadside repair with a couple of spoons and a patch kit. Oh well. This is a nice kit.
I have the No-Mar changer and I love it but itv does take a little bit of space this one looks pretty good. And yes I'm in TN and shops will charge me up to $80 bucks to change tires and no guarantee that they won't scratch up your tires 🤦🏻♂️ and you have to leave the wheels for hours with them, is not like they'll do it for you right there and then! It's the real world out there.....
What part of TN?
Gotta admit, that is indeed a pretty clever tool
I've been meaning to get a rabaconda street and dirt set, changing and balancing my own has been agonizing without, but money saving agony. all reviews of rabaconda insist they're well worth the money.
I want to see this done with a 240mm+ tire. Particularly the balancing..
What are the pink drawings on the tire tread?
Can we get more maintainance videos?
One additional thing, I notice that some tires are correctly mounted with the cipes flowing outward on the tread and some look like the tire is on backwards from the factory. Do you know why and when they started doing the tread sipes differently?
In my area it would pay for itself in two sets of tires. Gouging is normal in North Carolina.
is the busa coming back?
I’m sure Schrödinger’s cat would not mind having that valve named after it instead😂 Buy your tires a Schrödinger’s valve it’s there and it’s not 😂😂
What wheel balancer are you using, and where can I get it?
Wheres the link for the product?
The nerd is strong in this one!
I have all the tools including a torpedo heater. Did it twice. The local shop charges $30 a tire. Tire replacements are a pain.
Keep the valve core out when popping the bead on, will happen a lot quicker
I built my own tire changing rig last spring and I've paid for it and made some savings already. ...I go through a lot of tires it seems...
is there a link to the tire changer?
how do you know how much weight to apply in the balancing step?
Hey can y’all help me I’m looking for my first motorcycle I need one with some power to easily go 70-75 on the interstate and It. Needs to be good at commuting any advice will be much appreciated
Also I watched a dude do this with 2 spoons and a shovel in half the time this fancy machine that takes up space I don't have in my garage did.
Anyone know anywhere I can find that Rossi picture from above the sofa? It'd be a cool wallpaper. thank you :)
never bean earlier holy moly
Does this work on spoke wheels as well? Like harley davidson classics
@yammie fun fact Michelin is the only tire manufacturer that doesn't use that yellow dot. According to Michelin if a tire requires the yellow dot It should be tossed in the trash.
I recently had a front tire put on and I thought the same thing it's been a few years since I put a tire on a motorcycle but that is just ridiculous that's almost the price of the rubber
What about balancing beads for a tire?
Ain’t nothing like screaming in my garage while gripping tire irons like my life depends on it. Way cheaper than taking it to a shop though lmao.
Look at that yam gams! Someone has been riding a different kind of bike…
Dude your leg muscles are like hulk…
I like that the first bead reinstallation is a freebie. I think you have the valve stem orientation explanation backwards. The dart on the tire is the lightest part of the tire, therefore the valve counter acts on it. Just wanted to clear that up.
Here in Canada, they quoted me at a KTM dealer, $135 per hour. They said they needed 2 hours. What a rip off.
All you need is few thick zipties and understand how the bead valley works on the rim. Some soapy water will do. Skip the 500$ and do it easy almost free. Balancer is a nice thing to have tho!
how do you add weight to the tire when balancing?
