He had the most trouble with the strap at the end of the video.😂 impressive! Just got the 2024 GSA and I have a K1300s as well. I am tired of dealership prices for simple tire changes, as well as the drive to moderately priced motorcycle shop where I bring the tires to them. Thx Mark Barnes for your BMW MOA magazine article on this product.
I had the "other guy's" manual tire change machine for years. Unbolted it from the floor and moved it twice. Bought the Rabaconda last winter and just used it for the first time this week, with Dunlop TMMs on a R1200GS. Wow! How stupid easy! I fiddle-farted around with the front as I figured out how to use the machine. Screwed up, watched this video several times, redid it, etc. bingo! Got it! When it came to the rear, I kinda had the hang of it and it went almost flawless. Won't say I didn't break a sweat but, it was really simple. I'm sure in another pair of tires I'll be as good as this guy - haha. Bottom line, yea it's pricy, but it does indeed work, well. Very well. And portable! I'm a convert. Would recommend, two thumbs up, would buy again, and all that.
What a clever design. I am thinking hard about getting one after seeing it handle the Trailmax. I have a HD Pan America, 2018 Honda Goldwing and a 2007 BMW R1200R. Can this machine with the proper accessories change all those wheel sizes?
Yep, it works on all these bikes. You need some extras. Duck Head Kit for cross spoked wheels for Pan America and BMW adapter for the single sided swing arm
Do you recommend this or the other tire changer. I want to change my KLR 650 and my KTM 890 adventure but I see this new Street version and I want something that can do both!
Hey, if you want a challenge shown us how to change the tyres on a Triumph 900 Scrambler please. I've just done a pair and it took me 3 hours. I could have done it faster with tyre levers. Show me what I'm doing wrong please.
@@Rabaconda thanks for the reply. I have since done tyres on the 1200 Scrambler (Pirelli STR) with the correct duck head and in a 1290 Super Adventure S (Mitas E07+) and they were both relatively easy but the 900 Scrambler with shallow drop centre wheels was an absolute nightmare to do. I was just interested to see a professional have a go.
You should have him Do this over and Utilize the tools and technique you have it works much better ...I did it in under 8min off and on never having used it before..followed the Instructions super simple
I feel like this video was made for me (R1200GSA… front wheel) since I contacted them due to not being able to break the bead off with that design flaw of the bracket. I was told that they have received the new bracket and will be shipping out this week. I took the wheel to a local shop, had them break the bead and remove the tire completely and then used the rabaconda to install the front tire. Was a cake walk less the hour I spent trying to break the front bead. The rear tire took less than 5 minutes to dismount, total of 10 minutes for the rear. Anyhow, hopefully it’ll be this week that they ship it out.
@@slk5020 Thanks for the info! I've only done one rear so far and have been putting off the front as I can't get the leverage needed with the bracket in the wide position. Hopefully the bracket shows up soon.
Hi Jonathan. What’s the diameter of the center hub? Can you send us a picture of the wheel to sales@rabaconda.com so we can have a better understanding. Here is a video of us testing the tire changer on the 1250gs rear wheel: ua-cam.com/video/vc00r-kmm6w/v-deo.html

Oh, that's music to our ears! Thank you for your feedback!
Once again, great video! Thank you.
Rabaconda for the win!
Perfect job👍🏻

Great tool, you spoke so much about the TPS but your camera man didn't show the TPS once which was a pity.
sorry about that! Lots of stuff to remember when wanting to take the video on one go. Next time we'll show that as well

Definitely the Street Bike Tire Changer for these bikes

And fit Pirelli Scorpion STR tyres 😁

Is that a 21” or 19” wheel? You said 21. But it’s from a 1250 - 19” is stock on 1250. I think the 850 has 21”

this is the front wheel. Do you need an adapter for the rear wheel hub?
Yes, you need the BMW Shaft Drive Type Adapter. Here's a video: ua-cam.com/video/vc00r-kmm6w/v-deo.htmlsi=ReCzhDTgCEzm2T9f
When will the updated brackets be sent out for those of us who bought the kits with the incorrect brackets?

Correct, we've received the brackets and will shoot you an email with exact info and delivery estimate. Thank you for your patience!
say, what is the issue with the brackets ?? does this apply to the latest batch ?? just got mine a couple days ago. thanks !!
@@JoelSc14 new tire changers being shipped out are all with updated brackets
How about the rear of the 1250gs? Does it support single side 5 lug pattern wheels?
