I love the way they do these vids in a nice, neat tidy workplace with a showroom condition bike and all proper equipment....... There's me out on my drive with cold wind, my wheel on the ground rolling around, getting covered in oil and road grime while saying every swear word in the book!!
I would be taking it into a shop for a tire change if I couldn't work inside
I mean that’s basicly me except I say every swearword in the book in every launguage!
Dan Wilson I like how it took him one second to get the valve stem into the rim hole. Took me 3 hours.
Yeah, I fought my rear tire for two hrs in 105 degree weather. I don't want to take it in, because they charge like $60 to mount and balance for my specific bike.
@danwilson I have watched hundreds of videos on dirtbike and motorcycle repair, and in the videos they are always way fast and never struggle. But after I do the same repair a few times is all becomes 2nd nature. I have also slowly turned my garage into a mechanic shop over the years and hell that helps a lot too.
The last time I changes a Dual-sport tire was about 20 yrs ago. Now I'm 73 and having a hell of a time. Glad I found your video. It cleared up a couple of questions I had and I'm ready to tackle it again. Thanks for the videol
As a MX'r of 40 years, I was just looking for a chance to call "BS". I did not see one. I was taught years ago this same way from an old time MX'r and it has served me well for hundreds of tire changes. Well done Cameron!!
I am now retired from MX but still get the fellow MX'r having trouble changing tires. I am happy to show them this, of many i'm sure, techniques. There is more than one way of course, but for me, this is hands down the best.
Just one note to add. Avoid doing this with a cold tire. I have even used a hair drier on cold days to warm the tire prior to doing the work. If the sun is out, lay the tires out in the sun. Your rims and knuckles will come out in the end thanking you.
Definitely invest in a tire stand and "bead buddy". Spot on there.
Cheers, Well done, keep it up.
5:05 “work rotor side up to protect your knuckles” me dripping blood from my pointer finger 👁👄👁
One of the best videos I have found! I run tubliss and have that system pretty dialed, but just switched to a tube for winter riding because my studded tire has a few leaks in the knobs. You made this process chill. Thanks mate 💪
Awwwwwwwww, the rag in the sprocket is an awesome idea. I always struggle with making sure the parts are all where they are supposed to be. Thanks!
Great explanation! I have learned how easy this job can be if you take your time and follow all the steps.
Its about twenty times harder for me, and takes twenty times longer.
lol treu story
Great video. You made it look easy. In all of the other tire change videos I've seen, they put the tube in after they get one side of the tire on the rim. I've often wondered why they're not putting the tube in place first, like you did. I thought maybe it's because there's less of a chance damaging (or pinching) the tube if you get one side of the tire over the rim before putting it in.
Best dirtbike videos on RUclips by far. Thanks bro!
Cheers fella some good tips there ... I always put the tyre half on then do the tube but your way looks so simple. Thanks
I’ve always been taught different on how to put a tire on by putting the tube in once one side of the tire is on and trying to get the little valve stem through the rim is always a prick. Will try this way! Love the videos man keep it up! Thanks aye
Gotta love Australian summers the tires just about pull themselves on 😂
Great video, I've always struggled with tires, but not anymore!!! Bead buddy really helps and those spoons work great too!
Nicely done. Well explained. Organized and not to wordie. Good video.
Some good tips thanks Cameron. Had to fabricate my tire tools...I used to just use 2 big flathead screwdrivers, talk about being careful to not pinch the tube haha I knew he would have all the proper tools and stand. Keep posting.
How to not pinch the tube
Thank you so much for your time and efforts Cameron! GREAT video.
I appreciate you watching! It's comments like this that keep me going to make more videos.
You make great vids. Thank you for speaking so slowly and clearly
Thanks so much! Glad you found the videos!
Thanks! I am new to the dirt bike world due to my son getting one for Christmas and we already experienced a flat tire so I had to figure out how to change the inner tube on it. Whats crazy is that the inner tube had a fine cut around it.
best video I seen to do this task.... Great job Bud!!!
Nice one easy steps to follow Thank you, Cameron.
You guys that have real stiff tires, or are up north where its colder, lay the tire down and stick hair dryer in the tire for about 20 minutes. Makes the tire a lot more pliable.
I tried. It cooled off pretty quickly. The tire was super stiff anyway.
warm rubber more stretchy
@@murraydupley9330 not stretchy but more pliable.
Great video. I didn't have a "tire Buddy tool, so I used some C clamps to hold the tire down into the rim. works pretty well.
I put some wrenches inbetween the rim and tire and its still a bitch.
Nice video. I have an extra tire with rim for my paddle tire. Saves my back.
Excellent video Cam. Picked up my Moose Racing tire stand at TJ's (KTM) here in Austin. Will putting the stand, the spoons, and the knowledge from this video to work tomorrow.
I wish you the best Phil! Let me know how it goes.
Great job. U made that look super easy. Thanks for the great video.
Great tips! One more; if you have trouble getting the bead to seat, put the tire back on the bike, loosen the rim lock, put air in and roll it up and down the driveway, the weight of the bike will make the tire flex and the beat usually goes right on. Don't forget to tighten the rim lock.
I just take the valve stem out an rapidly fill and deplete the air
Thank you so much bro I really needed this no other guid could really show me every thing
Great vid. Cam. Keep up the good work.
Much thanks Matt! Really appreciate the kinds words.
I'd like to thank Prince Harry for taking time out of his busy schedule to show us muggles how to change a tire.
Funny how they always fail to mention the stand which also makes a huge difference.
have to rise tire to pull
have to raise tire to pull. logs

Who's they?

Excellent video, very helpful. Thanks! How does anyone give this a thumbs down?
Awesome video man I'm about to get a dirtbike so ive been trying to Learn as much as I can
Much thanks for watching Matthew! Stay tuned I have a lot more on the way.
yeah def the speaking slowly and clearly help by a lot. Keep with ur vids....ur knowledge is key for your followers
Great video. Really made me comfortable about changing a tyre myself now
Tires too.
You are an awesome teacher!
Great step by step video thanks bro it help a first timer(me) tremendously!!!
Glad to help!
Thanks and very informative.
The section between 3:45 and 4:05 is what I struggle with most. In my case I try to do this for a tenere 700 rear street tyre (scorpion str, 150/70/18). When the rim sinks down in the tyre the top almost will not budge to allow me to pull out the tyre. I have managed to do it with warmer weather but with around 10 degrees celsius the whole because so stiff that I couldn’t manage. I tried using loads of grease and also tried with soapy water but no luck. Any tips here?
Done. Whew. Oh crap, I put the used tire back on. :)
Well done Vid...Does it matter which hole the rim lock it mounted?
1st time watching...was very clear and easy to understand. Keep 'em coming!
Do you know what the rear axle torque spec is for a Xr200r
Do I need a tool for pulling the valve stem core out? Or can I do it with just my fingers?
Thanks, Cameron. I was struggling with my rear tire for hours without succeeding. Had a look at this video and 5 minutes later my tire was out. Awesome :) I appreciate the effort you put in your vids. Keep up the good work.
What brand are your tyre levers please? Great instructional video btw.
900th like, love your vids man!
good video for such a pain in the ass process. what do people do on the trail though when they get a flat? bring all the tools and get it done without the mount? and what kinds of tubes are good to run? questions for probably another video...
Spanner for the axle nut, valve core remover, two 10" tire spoons, a couple of rags, and a spanner for your rim lock. If you keep these in your pack, you'll be good to do a tube change/repair anywhere. People will often keep one front tube in their pack, since the front tube will work in either the front or rear tire if needed. Or you can bring a good patch kit (takes up less space). I use heavy duty tubes. Also pack a small hand pump or a CO2 kit.
@Tyler Nicholson nailed it. I can second patch kits working well for trail repairs. But your best bet is to invest in heavy duty tubes.
awesome guys thanks
tmac9938 ride back to the truck on a flat.
Cameron Niemela heavy duty tubes weigh too much when you only weigh 120 lbs like me. It's very noticeable on my 250's.
Great Video. I looked through the comments and didn't see it so I will ask. Who makes the stand you are using? Thank You
Thanks! Here's the stand amzn.to/2wPFIlz
Awesome videos man, thumbs up
Great video. Thanks.
Excellent vid but no mention of installing with the correct tire direction arrow!! Would a little air not be better with the final fit, to reduce risk of pinching? And I think I've found that leaving a "lazy" (loose) tyre lever in position during final section (eg. @6:42) can pinch the tire if/as the loose lever flips over the rim edge.
Muy buenas ideas amigo.
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Great tutorial ............thanks Cameron
Sending love, Cam!
Man youre the best . Ive learned a ton from watching your videos !!
I appreciate you watching the videos, glad I can help out.
Thanks this helped me out a lot
I assume the plating on those is similar to the plating on those pit bike rims. We had multiple xr/crf trail bikes and they had chrome rims that never scratched. I need some cuz I got anodized yellow rims for my RM and using bulky rubber rim guards are a pain.
The rims on XR's are chrome plated, while the levers are nickel plated I believe. The rim protectors I used work really well, I've had great luck with them over the years. Or you could get a set of plastic tire levers. Only thing is the durability isn't very good.
ReVive Moto Parts i had very similar ones i tried using today. I guess the tire was so tight it ripped through the protector and scratched my rims any way. I guess I need small tire spoons for mx tires as well always used bulky car tire irons. I looked at stubby tire tools but I heard they break after a while.
Yeah the stubby ones are nice but I've broken them after a few months. You must have a really stiff tire.
its a wide rim (2.15) with a skinny tire (100) its a real pain but I think buying the thin tire spoons would reduce slips and wrapping them in tape would help too. I think if I were to use the plated ones it would only lightly scratch on the top of the rim where you cant really see it but having tape would help some to I guess.
What is the tire stand you are using? Details please.
Great video sir!
Awesome video thanks brotha
Great job. I hadn"t seen the Bead Buddies. Thanks!
Nice video. I always change my own tires. Not very good at it. I need a tire/rim stand. I use a bucket. I'll check out your site. Thx
Really appreciate you watching the video and checking out the website! Hopefully you picked up a few tips from the vid.
Good video, you make it look to easy.
Thanks Alan!
awesome thank you just what i needed to see
Very helpful. Thank you
Awesome vid!
I appreciate you watching!
excellent! well explained
Thanks Jeffrey!
ok , and what do you do during the travel , you dont have central stand of course?
Great video, been riding and changing my own tires for over 50 years. 70 years old now. Still learning new things. Thank you
Good tips thanks 🙏
Great video!!
Thanks dude, I’m about to change my rear tyre. 🎄🤙
Nice one!
Thanks dude, I appreciate you
Good instructions.
When you start removing the tire with your tire irons it’s imperative to use 5 tire irons spaces about 1-1/2” apart. Insert your 5 irons and then in sequence flip them 1-2-3-4-5 and instantly you’ll have 1/4 of the tire off which relieves the bead stress. From there the irons will work the tire off with ease. Flip the rim and do exactly the same. Once both sides of the tire are on the outside of the rim then pull the rim out of the tire.
When installing be sure to put your last iron in place when the bead is about half way on the tire. The bead will get very tight, so having your last iron in place is very helpful, and always be sure the bead is pushed into the center of the rim to relieve the bead from being so tight on the rim. For the last tire bite I prefer the Nomar spoon bar which was originally made for a Honda Goldwing tire. Using this tool on a dirt bike tire makes the last section of the tire easy to leverage onto the rim without pinching the tube. Tubliss or Bibs are the way to go, tubes will send you home while your friends keep on with the journey.
Sweet instructions
Gr8 video
Keep up gr8 work
Worked my ass off last night installing a new tire on a freshly laced rim. Ended up pinching my tube. Man, I was pissed. But I had a 2nd tube on hand. Worked just as hard the second time around but I got it. I was also installing it on the floor.
What kind of tire stand are you using?
Thank you , Great advise
I've never had soo much trouble with a tire (Pirelli Scorpion Hard Compound). I'm soo frustrated right now because I've gone through 4 tubes. I use the same spoons that you use. I really think it's the tire, because my Kenda Millville II went on fine.
This is the GOTO video every time (once every 2 years or so) I have to change tires.
Great vid thank you
Man your bike is always so clean.. My bike is clean most of the time too but the only time I can get my bike as clean as yours is when I take everything apart to scrub all of the tight spots..
Thanks for watching man!! If you start with a super clean bike it's painful to not keep it clean haha. Dude your RM125 is fresh!
ReVive Moto Parts Thanks man.. I'm about to rebuild and do an overhaul
Post up a video when you have it done. I'd love to see it
Cameron Niemela his rm125 is done
I always seem to cut the tube when I tighten the rim lock. Any tricks for this?
Thanks for video....just successfully changed my rear....even with screwdrivers nailed it!! ..... FYI I'll be getting some spoons 👍
Nays thanks for the inportant details.
This helped me out so much with my bike thx hro
Did you put one the nuts on the stem before sending it through the rim?
Great video.
great video! what about balancing?
Thanks for watching! Dirt bike wheels do not need to be balanced since the surface they run on is never smooth.
Great job - thanks.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Will it still be pretty easy if ur tire is hard af
Hey man I’m looking for a set of black Kawasaki wheels for my kx250. Have any?
I don't unfortunately.
Hi, what a great video, thanks. What kind of grease you use on the axle of the wheel?
half way through, and I'm like ffs....
Me too! I stopped watching when he started pinching the crap out of the tube with his spoon, and had part of the tube trapped between the rim and seated tire at 5:27-5:30 of the vid.
@@warped2875 let's see you poindexters make a better video....
@@coloradodirtbike5930
No need to do so. There are plenty of excellent tire changing videos on RUclips already. I just didn't feel the need to suffer all the way through this one.
Man I really hate changing tires
@@Trillian it's really quite simple after you learn a few tips and tricks... Practice makes perfect!
I did it, pissed it,,, lost the tube stem in the wheel and had to remove the one side of the tire again but I bloody well did it! Thanks.
