Another great tyre changing video thanks. You changed my tyre changing from bleeding knuckles, swearing, and flying tools to a job that I find pretty easy now.
Video idea...how about a video with any tips/tricks for those that don't have a tire changing stand? I know there are lots of folks out there wrestling around down on the floor, cursing and swearing! I appreciate all of the tire changing vids...they have definitely saved some $ in pinched tubes!
Just finished up building your tire-stand from the plans you emailed me. Man... I gotta say -- this thing is the bee's knees! Super fun to build, me and a buddy took a day off of work and got'er done! 🤘🏻😎 Now I just need to watch how you change a tire a few more times and I should be g2g! 😅
Awesome tutorial Jay. I was recently able to still get some bicycle brand Tip Top Real Talcum Powder. They’ve removed genuine Talc from baby powder due to all the lawsuits but nothing works as well as real Talc. Disclaimer: wear a mask so you don’t breathe it in. Heaven knows we all have access to masks now. The only other thing I do to help prevents the occasional tube pinching (which us less experienced mechanics might do) I put a small shot of air in the tube ...just enough to barely inflate it but not enough to put any stretch into the tube. Like so little you can’t measure the psi but enough that it kind of holds a real soft shape. That way it won’t add any difficulty to the install yet it won’t be able to lay flat between the tire and bead. Cheers
I learned how to change a tire with little fuss from your videos and this one is great too! But the first time I did a rear it took about 45 minutes just taking my time having a cold one. It looks like you are enjoying some type of highly caffeinated beverage, can you please share what that is...I could get my tire change down to something like 5-10 minutes ; )
I remember watching both Brian Fleck's and your Dunlop videos back in the day. Before that, I was doing it wrong. I can't do it in 5 minutes like Brian and yourself, but it no longer requires swear words to get in done 😜
Love the advise you give...but your a next level tech and make it look so easy! Kinda like McGrath giving tips on how to get through the whoop section on a pro supercross track
How about changing some harder compound larger adventure tyres. Show riders how to break the bead on these on the trail. Even just a dirty old D606 on the rear of a DR650. I change a lot of tyres and those MX tyres just fall off and on but not all tyres do.
Exactly my thought. Not only painted but also silver rims. Many scratches in the rim after the procedure shown in the video. I always use rim protectors to avoid it.
So i tried changing the tube on my sons pw50. I got two pinch flats and ruined both tubes. He was bummed, i was bummed lol. I added a little air to his tube but im thinking maybe to much. I got two more gonna try again. We are racing the cold here in upstate ny. Gonna be doing a tire on an 88 250 so we can ride Thursday. What a beast that bike is old faithful. My nephew rides it when his 97 rm80 is down.
Thanks Jay. Just needed a refresher. I Don't know why I never put the tube in the tire first and then put onto the rim. Anyway it's an easier process. I guess I was worried about tube pinching. Can you recommend a tire stand I could buy? I have no way of building one. Thanks
Question, Do I tighten the stem nut all the way til its hits the rim on both the front and rear rims or not? Also, is there a stem nut that also goes on the inside of the rim? And last question...My rims have a rubber mold between the rim and the stem nut. Do I tighten the stem nut til its hits the rubber mold or not?
One thing I'd mention is I always get guys coming back saying I didn't tighten the nut on the valve stem I Always tighten cap to the nut Not the nut tight to the rim this gives room for the stem to move when the tire spins on the rim In-between tests I've noticed my tire moving on the rim took the nut off and the valve stem when into my rim without going flat I've tried everything 2 rim locks idk if its because I'm 200lbs but always happens to me thinks it's because I use my tire up don't replace it often
I’m on the last step and the tire bead works itself off when I’m using my tire irons. When it stays on the bead stretches and the rubber around the bead tears slightly.
likely wont get answer but one question. I see on some brand tires like that one you are doing here, they have a yellow circle on the tire I think it was actually a video you did saying that is the place you should put the new valve stem. ? Why is that Thanks
Many times I seem to get a bulge in the sidewall of a freshly mounted tire right at the valve stem. This makes for a lump as the tire goes around. Does anybody know how to prevent that and once it's there how to get rid of it? It seems to happen often on soft carcass tires such as shinko 241 and others. Thanks
Thanks Jay! I’ve watched you change tyres in awe loads of time on instagram. Watched the rear tyre part about 10x and learned something new every time. My takeaways… get the beadlock set and work away from it like Jay says… pulling the tyre off to start again is tiring and demoralising. 🥵😅 Tyre paste is a must. My kit I got off my friend uses fairy liquid in a spray bottle. The wetter the better. Paste is best. With the rear, watch the technique closely for getting the spoon under the bead and not into the sidewall… squeeze down, slide in to get the bead and pop it over. That was the bit I missed but soon as I got it, was a lot easier. A little air to fill the tube but not too much, enough as it sits well so you don’t pinch it, too much and it’s got too much shape for seating and you risk nipping it that way too. Away to do the front now. 😁
Not sure if anyone else caught it, but on the rear tire you let the air out after popping the bead. Then tightened up the rim lock. On the front you filled the tire with air, popped the bead and then tightened rim lock. I never know what order to do it it?
Great vid! But my MX12 front is not going on that easy! You must be using the softest tires ever. Update: sry I doubted you, I got better, and the mx12 went on way better this time!
Trying to install a Michelin Starcross 6 21 inch with no tire stand. 2 hours and still not on. I hate this crap. KTM rim. Fought like a motherf to get the piece of crap Dunlop AT81 off. Bike has 12 hours on it.
Sorry, but I've watched almost every tire change video you've done and very 1st beak brake, I removed all the paint from the rim. I'm also dealing with Motoz tires. Your sidewalls always move around like tortillas. You must be using the softest side wall tire for these videos. Once I break the bead, I'm unable to get another spoon in
I need to play the video at 1/64 to follow along 😂 a proper tire stand like yours looks like it will be a worthwhile investment
A good tire stand is worth its weight in gold. For me it’s the difference in 10 minutes or 45 minutes wrestling on the ground lol
Just built a stand and did my first tire. You are my hero!

I would have never been able to take off my tires without this video. Took my tires off in 20 minutes with minimal effort.
The old tire was mint!

Right on!!!
@@dirtbiketv1 how do I get the drawings for the stand?
@@tb8841 email us. Contacts from website or Instagram etc.
just used my tyre changing stand I built from the plans. brilliant bit of kit, thanks a lot
I laugh when you say, "We can just push most of the tire on". Not mine!!!🤣🤣🤣
Not mine either.
Super cool video. Great job on slowing down a little this time

Best videos on youtube! God bless from Sweden
Jay would have to go through special training to learn how to install a tire slowly.
I don't recall if you do bibs or not. Maybe a change video on that.
Best video by far
To be fair, the KTM rims are easier due to the proximity of the valve stem to the rim lock. I'm going to re-drill my Yammie rims like that.
Best tire change video out there! You should do it on a 14" wheel for those of us with kids.........just saying.
This guy does the best video's, keep up the good work.
HELPED ALOT thanks for the video !!!!

Great video! My problem is where do you dispose of the old tires?
local tire shop or moto track
Awesome video. Great in depth detail
Just like anything, practice makes perfect. Easier said than done 5 miles out on a trail in the rain
Jay, do you recommend running a beadlock on the rear wheel when running a mousse?
Yes - email me for more details. Contact info in About tab.
great video, how can I get plans for tire stand
Thanks i can do mine on my kx85 and not have to ask somone that will scratch it up .
I wish it was this easy. After ruining 3 tubes! I am going Tubliss after this.
Awesome tips! Thanks, Jay.
How do you avoid scratching painted rims with metal tire irons?
Exactly my thought. Not only painted but also silver rims. Many scratches in the rim after the procedure shown in the video. I always use rim protectors to avoid it.
Like from Ukraine
You make it look painless. How many (EST) tires have you did? GREAT JOB.
When I changed tires with tubes, I always installed new ones just to be safe. Now I run mousses so no worries
So i tried changing the tube on my sons pw50. I got two pinch flats and ruined both tubes. He was bummed, i was bummed lol. I added a little air to his tube but im thinking maybe to much.

I have for 40 years hated changing tires. Still do.
Thank you
Awesome video can you do one about hydraulic clutches and clutch drag
what email I have to send you a request for the tire stand drawing? Thanks
Go to his website www.dirtbiketv1.com or linktee on instagram - we dont list it here to cut down on bots and scammers- Thanks!
saved my ass. thankyou

Sir another great vid but should you recommend a new tube on the tire swap 😳 I don't know

I just did a number on my 450 rear still can’t get the bead to seat and the gouges are cringy
I’m on the last step and the tire bead works itself off when I’m using my tire irons. When it stays on the bead stretches and the rubber around the bead tears slightly.
What tire stand do you use ???
Costum made email us. Link in bio contact.
anyone know where i can get a good tire changing stand like the one in the video?
We have the plans/drawings for free we can email you. You find a local welder/buddy to weld it up. Email is my contact or site or IG.
I have 2 rimlocks on my rear wheel , i just cant get the tire over the locks , what am i doing wrong??? please help
likely wont get answer but one question. I see on some brand tires like that one you are doing here, they have a yellow circle on the tire I think it was actually a video you did saying that is the place you should put the new valve stem. ? Why is that Thanks

Great job man.
@@dirtbiketv1 front was a lot easier and my final advice would be practice, practice, practice! 😄 Cheers for sharing, it was a great help. 😎🍻
What email? Where are these Google docs at? Ild love to see a video chaging a rear honda 450 tire
got to my website jayclarkent.com -- or my instagram -- its not hard to find it-- I don't post it on here because of scammers and bots
Dang you could tell this guys has changed a couple of tires before
Not sure if anyone else caught it, but on the rear tire you let the air out after popping the bead. Then tightened up the rim lock. On the front you filled the tire with air, popped the bead and then tightened rim lock. I never know what order to do it it?
Good catch-- Best way is to tighten rim lock FIRST thing after fill up-- then set pressure. I sometimes get off on order ---
Awesome thanks for the info and quick reply! Good stuff
Looks like you did a good job. But how the hell am I supposed to learn when you’re hauling a**😂😂
Takes me 30 minutes to swap out a new tire and UHD tube. I'd like to see you try it instead of those paper thin tubes you use !!
agree...my super duty was a challenge. did it twice due to getting tube over the locker
Man does it In 5mins
Great vid! But my MX12 front is not going on that easy! You must be using the softest tires ever.
Update: sry I doubted you, I got better, and the mx12 went on way better this time!
🤞
Baby powder in a garbage bag. Throw tube in and give it a shake. It’ll last years
This mf put the tire on in 2 minutes and I've been here for 2 hours and I can't even get the tire go over the rim
People want is slower because they want to be taught, not impressed.
This is not a how to video. This is watch me show off on how fast I can do it.
You made that look too simple man! I usually have WAY MORE expletives and colorful language LOL- just saying
The demo tire has little to no side wall. Do it with a regular tire, not this soft crap. I recommend the Mitas E-07 tire. And no video cuts!
i’ll be honest i just cut mine off it’s not worth the effort and the standard yamaha rims bend very easily
"Most of the people who want it in slow motion probably cant do it anyway" your wifes boyfriend must think your so cool
Trying to install a Michelin Starcross 6 21 inch with no tire stand. 2 hours and still not on. I hate this crap.
KTM rim.
Fought like a motherf to get the piece of crap Dunlop AT81 off. Bike has 12 hours on it.
Thanks but what's the point of doing a vid where you fly through everything? It's hard to follow.
Sorry, but I've watched almost every tire change video you've done and very 1st beak brake, I removed all the paint from the rim. I'm also dealing with Motoz tires. Your sidewalls always move around like tortillas. You must be using the softest side wall tire for these videos. Once I break the bead, I'm unable to get another spoon in
We only run Dunlop and as a rule the Dunlop have the strongest sidewalls around since they are designed for racing at the highest level.
At the risk of sounding like a girl, are you not concerned about scratching those nice did rims?
