    UPDATE:
    These tires held up until about 2000 miles. The slime held the air the whole time. I changed the tires off camera to practice. IF you have any questions about the full tire change, drop a comment and I will answer! It just takes a couple more steps to remove the deck cover and unplug the motor wires.

      Glad it was useful Josh! And just know, the first time is hardest, it gets easier every time you take the scooter apart. Just take your time and make sure everything is well aligned.
      I'm not sure if I included this in the video, but it also helps. On your split rim, at the hole that the valve stem goes through, it can be a little sharp on the inside. If you file this down it could potentially save you some trouble too.

      @@joycejean979 HI there, to be honest if a thief wants it bad enough they will take it.. there's no lock that will keep them away.. a lock only acts as a somewhat deterrent if the scooter is left alone for a short time in a public area. Your best bet would be to add either a GPS tracker(subscription needed) or (which I use) is a smart tag(Samsung) or Airtag(iPhone)
      The smart tags work very well.

    I'm glad I watched this. Been flat over a month. Haven't had time to look at it. Yesterday I sprayed the tire down to find the leak. Nothing no bubbles. Sprayed the valve core nothing. Watched this then sprayed the base of valve stem. And got bubbles. I didn't even think to check there. Inner tube on the way.

    • @ScootaGang
      @ScootaGang  3 года назад

      Glad you figured it out man! Changing the tube isn't too bad, if you have any issues let me know! I think the tubes are sometimes installed sloppily in China and are a little bit crooked so the valve stem is stretched a bit and it eventually breaks there. Be extra careful when you put the new tube in that the valve stem is lined up exactly perfect! I haven't had any more flats and almost 2000 miles now. I have to change my tires soon they are near the end!

    im guessing i have the same issue as u have in this video.
    i will have a look in the morning, thanks alot for showing us how to change a tyre @Scoota Gang.
    if it's the valve, maybe vsett is using bad quality inner tubes

    • @ScootaGang
      @ScootaGang  3 года назад

      Yeah hard to know if it's bad quality or if we just got unlucky and it was installed a few mm crooked. I think if the valve gets stretched at all it can develop this issue quickly. I would try slime before you go to replace the whole tube. Also grab one of these tire pressure monitor systems, I have one now and it will alert you if it starts leaking. Plus it's nice peace of mind so I'm not paranoid about my tires all the time. My tread is getting low so I'll have a full tire change video soon!

      You have the best odds if you heat it up with a blowtorch or blowdryer and then use a t25 torx aka star bit. It grabs better than the allen key and less likely to strip. It could still strip, but the heat will melt the locktite if you get it warm enough

    • @ScootaGang
      @ScootaGang  3 года назад +1

      The main difference is that the alibaba unit is usually shipped directly to you from China. So it's a bit riskier because shipping damage or quality control can be an issue sometimes. When you buy it from RevRides, or any reputable dealer, they get it into your country first and inspect it for quality before sending it to you. Since it's then only shipping a short distance and short time, there is usually no extra damage to get it to your doorstep! Alibaba usually doesnt have a phone number you can call if there are any issues.

    Hey boss i got a question. So i bought a vsett 11+ right and im having issues with the tubes. If i had road on the tire itself after a flat for maybe like .25 miles could that have ruined the actual tire itself and thus ruining every tube i swap out? Any insight would be nice thanks. Also have you had a chance to use that new style of tire yet on your vsett? Im looking to buy those same ones on aliexpress but dont know if I should keep them the same.

    • @ScootaGang
      @ScootaGang  2 года назад

      Hey Marc,
      The tire is likely ok if you rode while it was deflating. I did the same thing on the flat in this video. Just inspect it closely to make sure when you take out the old tube. Also have a tried slime yet? It works wonders on most punctures and may save you completely from changing anything.
      Here's a few tips:
      1. Make sure the tubes are fully inflated. Obviously if the tire starts a ride at lower psi then it can more easily catch a flat.
      2. Make sure you seat the tube exactly in the correct spot when you replace it. It can't be folded or stretched, and the valve stem is lined up perfectly in the hole on the split rim piece.
      3. Also note that on some scooters the actual hole that you slide the valve stem through can be sharp on the inside edge. You may want to file it down so it's smooth if you are getting punctures in that area of the tube near the valve stem. Those are also harder to fix with slime.
      4. We are lucky the Vsett has enough room so this tire pressure monitor fits: amzn.to/3xbDCLh
      The peace of mind is worth it to always know where your tires are at.
      I haven't had another flat since this video, about 1700 miles. I did change to the slightly thinner CST tires about 200 miles ago and the cornering is more smooth. I think they have a slightly smaller contact patch, but I haven't noticed any difference in traction, just that the scooter corners better.

      They all have cheap bolts. Worth upgrading to T25 torx on every scooter. It was a demonstration just for those that it does happen too, I didn’t actually strip the bolt. I have stripped bolts a couple times in the past and it’s worth knowing how to remove them, so that’s why I included that in the video.

    bcs im just so lucky, i managed to get a flat once again (6th flat in 8 months)
    this time it's my front tyre, i changed it easily.
    but for some fked up reason i can't get the brake claw attached.
    the claw is grinding against the wheel, and i have no clue what i am doing wrong.
    there is 1 washer that i can't get back in there (the side of where to motor cable is are 2 washers apparently)
    but with both washers in, it's impossible to get the wheel back in.
    but even if i could, i don't see how that would change the distance from my brake disc and the wheel, bcs that's where the brake claw keeps griding.
    also idk why, but ur front wheel disc is on the other side than mine.
    ur motor cable is on the same side as ur kick stand.
    being 100% sure that it's different for me, i still tried to reverse my wheel so that the disc brake is on the other side.
    but 1st of all its physically impossible to do so, and 2end my tyre is then in the opposite direction, which shouldnt be possible because i didnt remove the tyre...
    ive spent hours and hours observing what i'm doing wrong i am litterally losing my shit.

      You have to put both washers back exactly how it was before. It’s hard to get it back but if you loosen the cross joints up above (the red part) it will give the fork more room to seperate and you can fit it with the correct washers. Does that make sense?
