Man, I feel like my tire changing video was soooooo pathetic that you had to do this just to show me how easy it's supposed to look. I'm certain you would have literally done both tires in the time it took me to get my bike up off the ground! Hallelujah for Old Man Experience! Thanks for the vid brother, couple of awesome tips in there. And PS...just used the discount code in the description! HAT and GLOVES ordered!!! Woooohoooo!
Oh sick thankyou! We share the address of all our customers publicly for any potential stalkers, greatly appreciate, time for the Inhardinated shirt to hit the market!
Thanks mate yes the strap could really save some stress out on the road if you only have cannisters or a small compressor or pump. Thanks for the comment
Yeah it flattens the tyre and pushes the tyre bead out to the rim, pretty much seals the gap to stop air escaping, this one little trick could save anyone stuck with a tyre that went flat and popped the bead off. Cheers I'm glad you enjoyed it. By the way on the rear you could see how hard I cranked the strap to spread the tyre
well spotted RV4 for 4wd camping on the beach, that is full 5 star if we take the big tent! I did a vid a while ago on how I set up my garage, yeah they are bloody awkward to store so the get it up high on racks works a treat!
Good work 👍..and fitness 😊 I am changing regularly motocross tires with mousses, i have the rabaconda for dirtbike tires. I never changed myself the tires of my 1290 SAR, it sucks me to spend 40-50 bucks to spend for the tire change, i think i will try to put new tires on the SAR myself, i think it is not more difficult then putting mx tires with mousses, what do you think?
Yeah easier than mousses by a long shot, bigger valley on the wheels, no tubes or anything, its actually easier than fitting an mx tyre, I have it down now to about 15 minutes a wheel back onto the bike, just lube it with some soapy water, use the strap if the bead wont set. I am going to shoot another tyre change in the next week, I need to change my rear again so I may as well do another video!
It will always mark the rims a bit, ever since they went to black rims on mx bikes as well, they always end up with small marks on the rim, I think you can buy plastic rim savers that clip in when using levers, but to me its just part of bike ownership. My GasGas 450 mx bike has silver rims, you don't see any marks. I know a little trick is to touch them up with a black marker pen.
I've seen some tubes fail on highway use on hot roads. I carry tubes in case needed. It's a tough call to run tubes or tubeless. My last bike, the Tiger had tubes, I'll use the tubeless until I experience a failure, then I'll revert back to tubes. I guess I'm going on the theory that cars and suvs use tubeless, "should" be ok. A lot of off road racers also change from tubes to tubeless system. Very debatable subject, if I swap I'll do a vid and explain why
@@christopher54179 yes to go to tubes that would be an issue. I know Jeep owners there is a trick to put the sensors in a pressurised container and leave it in the car! I assume you must be able to program that function out or just let it display blank. But then it will constantly go to alarm??
Yep but where's the fun in that haha always good to have the skill to do it and be familiar yourself with how and what. But oh don't worry option A going to the shop is a LOT easier! As a motocrosser and off road racer we always do our own tyres due to how many we use in a year. All fun, cheers for the comment! Happy New Year!
@@jackchristodoulou197 not much you can really do I think there are products the lever can work against but to be honest most mx and enduro bike rims cop a flogging. I know some guys touch em up with a Sharpie pen. Silver rims definitely better for hiding scratches! I nearly waited till Tuesday for the bike shop to be open to fit them, but thought bugger it make a video, do it myself! The strap around the tyre was awesome I'm glad I got to do that at home, I'll carry a ratchet strap in my spares from now on
That’s great use of the bead breaker when reinstalling 😎🍻

@@oldmanspeedadventures I would hope so...people need to know where to find me to shake my hand for making them so hard!
Great demonstration good to know if caught on a trail and need to patch the inside if plugs don’t work.
Thanks mate yes the strap could really save some stress out on the road if you only have cannisters or a small compressor or pump. Thanks for the comment
That ratchet strap is a great idea, I’ve never seen that before. The 1290 looks great with the new shoes.. George is adorable also!
Poor old Buzz was asleep on the lounge missed his 15 minutes of fame!
Well done Champ
Motoz rallz tyres side walls are one of the hardest
Big effort Mal
Thanks mate wait for the review I have some cool ideas for a video!
Great video! You give us all hope!
I've got it down might be time for a new vid!
Rachet Strap! What a great idea! I like! 👍😁

Great video mal, I reckon you should do one specifically on changing a rear tyre on a dr650. I'll even offer mine up for the video 😂
No worries bring er round!
We need to start a queue for Mal to do all the DR's...this bike ain't no joke!
Love it very informative bud
Cheers mate was a bit clumsy but got it done! Fitted another set at home the other day, same way. Thanks for watching and joining in!
Is that an RV5 hanging from the roof ? Good idea.

@@oldmanspeedadventures
Yeah the RV5 is heavy to be throwing up on the car racks that is why I now use a RS1 . Keep up the good work 👍.

@@oldmanspeedadventures thank you! I will try it 😊. Looking forward to your next video 👍
Nice work mate, gotta do mine next weekend on the AT. What do you do for balancing??
Nothing they had balance weights on the spokes from the last tyres. I have no vibration at all so pretty lucky!
You don't need to balance the wheels each time you change tyres?
I rode it today, about 60km bitumen with no vibration, so in this case no need to
Sometimes could be lucky I guess. I get mine balanced. I wonder how truck balancing beads would work on bike tyres ?
how do you do it without scratching those black painted rims?
It will always mark the rims a bit, ever since they went to black rims on mx bikes as well, they always end up with small marks on the rim, I think you can buy plastic rim savers that clip in when using levers, but to me its just part of bike ownership. My GasGas 450 mx bike has silver rims, you don't see any marks. I know a little trick is to touch them up with a black marker pen.
The best way to change a tyre is to get someone else to do it.
Best money ive ever spent
Agree!
Why do you choose Tubeless over Tubed?
I've seen some tubes fail on highway use on hot roads. I carry tubes in case needed. It's a tough call to run tubes or tubeless. My last bike, the Tiger had tubes, I'll use the tubeless until I experience a failure, then I'll revert back to tubes. I guess I'm going on the theory that cars and suvs use tubeless, "should" be ok. A lot of off road racers also change from tubes to tubeless system. Very debatable subject, if I swap I'll do a vid and explain why
@@oldmanspeedadventures Thanks. Makes perfect sence😁
Problem is how to overcome the valve and TMPS??
@@christopher54179 yes to go to tubes that would be an issue. I know Jeep owners there is a trick to put the sensors in a pressurised container and leave it in the car! I assume you must be able to program that function out or just let it display blank. But then it will constantly go to alarm??
I just call the bike shop order the tyres I want ride in have a coffee and wait til the bike is all done

@@oldmanspeedadventures how do you avoid the tyre lever from scratching up the the black rims

@@oldmanspeedadventures good stuff loving your work
@@jackchristodoulou197 thanks mate it's fun putting these together, you can see who has too much time on his hands!!
It’s like a BBQ chicken 😂
Haha yep exactly the same!
Sorry that was fairly painful to watch
No worries at all mate
I even added my dog to increase the entertainment value oh well ill try harder ✌️
