Changing Tyres on the GS & Torque settings

Replacing Tyres and the torque settings, now this was the first time I ever did this, well I mean took the wheels off the GS on the sky lift in an attempt to save some money, I'm not entirely sure I did!
maybe you can tell me?

Spoiler alert😂 All the torque settings you need are in that thing called the Rider's Manual from page 187 onwards....I know, I can hear you now saying no one likes a smartarse. Another little tip for the rear is take the bottom bolt out last and put it back 1st holding the rim in place with your knee against the tyre at the bottom as that stops the rear wheel kicking out at the bottom and potentially falling off the hub and scratching the rims. Looking forward to hearing about what you think of the CTA3s compared to the OE tyres😉
Forgot to add, you should remove the front ABS sensor too before taking the wheel out so you don't accidentally damage it when removing or installing the front wheel.

I don’t like following the rules, and I can’t find the bloody book, anyhow I have you, so in future I will just ask you

Just brought a 1250 gsa from Wollaston’s. Jacks a good bloke he knows his stuff.

Jack is a legend, he agreed that I could do a video behind the scenes, but Covid killed it.

Great Job teaching ! Would be fantastic if you add the brand name of tools and size torx and bit used. My regards from Monterrey, Mexico

[@Gaz1za21]

My local charges £15 for fitting and balancing too, so not unreasonable given the time it takes; for me any less would concern me about the quality of the fit as there’s pressure sensors to worry about👍

[@SmileyoureonTV]

Totally agree

[@clivebishop8757]

For me it’s worth it, I also have the sky lift and prefer to torque up and install myself

[@SmileyoureonTV]

fills the garage tho, I'm running out of room, wife said if I was to have another bike I need to move out

[@stags-gr8to]

Enjoyed the video! What tyres did you have, and how many miles did you get out of them?

[@SmileyoureonTV]

they were the road 5's and they lasted about 7k miles, front was fine but it needed to go at the same time

[@stags-gr8to]

@@SmileyoureonTV 👍 Thanks for the information!

[@clivebishop8757]

Nice torque wrench, may I ask make model and how much you paid, many thanks

[@SmileyoureonTV]

its only a Halfords one, not hat expensive and its a clicker not a tone one.

[@samsara3694]

Thinking back to when BMW Wollaston fitted my tyres, I reckon you will have saved yourself a hundred pounds or so. And why not?

[@SmileyoureonTV]

really as much as that!

[@samsara3694]

@@SmileyoureonTV well, thought I'd just check. For a set of Roadtech 01s it was 412 squid.
