Kyle...thanks for this video. It was nice to see a tire install/exchange video that is very realistic about how easy it ISN'T sometimes. The fact that you didn't over edit this piece is actually the most helpful. It sure alleviated some of my anxiety for when I have to do this. PS: I gave you a shout out and a link in my own tire choosing video on my channel. Thanks again for your great content.
Thanks for watching. It’s all about being real. It can be a struggle sometime but it’s totally doable! Shop rates are crazy and booking time is rough too. Learning to DIY is so helpful!
That is one of the reasons I buy softer sidewall tires (Continental TKC). But it is perhaps a double edged sword.
The main reason is travelling solo to remote places I carry a spare tube just in case I get a slash in the tire (I am tubeless). So, here is the dammed if I do part. The softer sidewall is probably more likely to be slashed but I could effect a repair on a cold day.
With a stiff sidewall, I may be less likely to get a slash but if I did it might be very difficult to effect a roadside repair.
And funny enough, my tire selection comes from you mentioning some of these tires are very difficult to put on without a machine.
When at home, if it is a sunny day, the tire is always warming first on the asphalt. On cold days, i have an electric heater I place near the tire.
I like the blocks idea. I have always used my knee position the bead into the centre of the rim so the effective distance is less.
But, for the life of me, I do not know why you would put the blocks on the other side, which you demonstrate at first. That is counter intuitive as I think both sidewalls are virtually independent when installing them. In fact, that would seem to make it worse. But I am changing my rear tire next week, so I will check it out.
Thanks. Love the videos.
Thanks for watching. Yeah… the sword is sharp on both sides! My favorite tire is the AX41 as it’s soft, easy to mount has is AMAZING… big BUT here… it gets cuts and punctures easily and wears out super fast. Ying & Yang of the tire situation. Still love the Motoz for all around use. The bead slips out of the “drop center” on both sides bit the “back side” I can’t see nor reach… so I use 3 blocks. I typically don’t need on on the front… but It did help in this situation. Thanks for your support!
Kyle, another great video where you make things look so easy. Here in the Texas heat I would have been sweating my butt off, gotten frustrated and thrown it in the trunk, and went to the BMW dealer to have it mounted!
Yeah… I’ve done it trail side in the 120 degree Arizona sunshine! I feel your pain. It was that… or die out there from dehydration or… walk 50 miles to the next closest house ;)
*_Great Video, Kyle. Love the blocks. What a great tip._*
Thanks for watching!
I tried the Large Zip Tie method for my KTM 1190. Trick is to have your tire warm in the sun. It is amazing how easy and fast it is. Put about 8 of the large 18 inch+ zip ties and the plastic of the ties helps the tire slide on the rim. no spoons. no busted knuckles.. Awesome.
Maybe we can chat and you can walk me through it. I haven’t been successful with that method… but I might not be doing it correctly either….
Tire mounting....one of my absolute favorite things to do!!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
why doesn't everyone show how much work it really is!
good job 👏
Practice makes perfect!
I did my original Ranger installation on my friends no mar machine and they weren’t terrible on my narrow DR650 rims. I didn’t pay attention to the front direction arrow and mounted it backwards since that’s what made sense in my mind. Been running it that way for 2,500 miles and decided to flip it for more life. I just flipped it with tire levers and I was surprised how easy it was. I’ve done hundreds(maybe thousands) of car tires so that probably helped. Also, it does pretty good backwards😂. Thanks for another great video!
Ha! Ha! Ha! My full review, just wrapped it up today. Be on the look out... and I am curious to see if your results are the same!
@@manybikes You have much more experience than me and are in much different terrain so I'm also curious.
That's a super stiff sidewalled tyre (tire) , and you made it look relatively easy. thanks for including it not going perfectly, and how you adjusted to suit. Those wooden blocks clearly made a huge difference, yoinking that trick (thanks!)
It a necessary thing for everyone to know how to do. So many “lifetime dirt bike riders” won’t touch Adv tires. They are much harder to mount than most. But… with some tricks, it totally doable. This should have been 10 minutes shorter in time… but sometimes you’ve got to readjust. The blocks are huge!!!
Dude, I needed this so bad earlier this week haha. So frustrating! Thank you. I seriously bruised my arm trying to install my k60 ranger a couple months ago.
It’s not an easy tire to mount! I’ve heard of torn beads and trips to dealerships as guys who “typically mount their own” were unsuccessful. Thus the reason for the video release.
@@manybikes my main problem is i was trying to do it like a dirt bike tire where you just set the wheel in the middle. But these adv wheels are just too wide for that method.
@@therealturbofanisme yes, it can be challenging!
Liked then viewed 👍🏼
That block tip was awesome!
Can you make a vid on balancing please? 🙏
Yes Sir! Shot the same day… need to edit it up.
Nice work there Kyle! Had same problem with my Ranger wheel. That sidewall is stiff!! 💪🏼
100% Practice on the tough tires makes the other ones easy ;)
Thanks Kyle! Wish I would of seen this yesterday before I entered the battle!!
Next time Seis, next time!
Baja no pinch Tire mounting tool is what I use on and off the trail along with the motion Pro bead breaker irons to dismount the tire
I need to get a Baja No Pinch… it’s been on my list for a while. Any tips?
@Kyle Bradshaw for my kit I keep the motion Pro bead breaker irons along with one more spoon as it's easier with three all together when prying the tire off the wheel, also a motion Pro bead buddy to keep the tire in place on the wheel as you are mounting the tire back on. I also keep a tube of bull snot for lubricant. If you have a tube type Tire, inflate with a couple of pounds and install it into the tire first as it will be easier to put the valve stem back into the rim. Start mounting the tire in the same fashion that you did in your video, the last 5 to 10 in. you can use the no pinch tool. And now start working the top bead into the rim and insert the motion Pro bead buddy to keep the tire from moving on the rim while installing the rest of the Tire. Using the no pinch Tire Tool start working the tire bead back onto the rim while making sure the rest of the tire is in the drop Zone. What I really like about this tool is it pushes the tire over the lip of the rim instead of being Pryed over the lip of the rim. Hope this helps, like any other new tool it takes a little getting used to, but once you do you'll wonder why you didn't purchase it sooner
The airbag jacket still gets me every time. 😂
Ha! Ha! Ha! My kids’ favorite part ;)
good idea those 1 inch blocks, cheers V!
Dude… they are lifesavers!!!
Hello great channel very nice filmed ;)
Thank you very much!
My BMW R1250GS is harder to change tires then my Husqvarna 450. on my GS I use a ratchet strap around the tire to seal the bead instead of the starter fluid and a match method. I like your blocks of wood.👍
Some rims are way easier than others… that is for sure! The Ratchet method works great and so does a blow nozzle on the air compressor. 120 psi straight into the tire. Pop! Pop! Super quick.
Looks hard. Ima let the shop do it.😊
Everyone should know how to do and should have done it a few times so “you can” If you “have to!”
Try this with a Dunlop Trailmax Mission rear tire on a Honda CB500X! The front was easy, the rear pretty much impossible. I unfortunately screwed up the bead a bit while trying, despite taking tiny bites each time. I don't think I will buy Trailmax Missions next time, pretty much impossible to repair on the trail.
FYI, before attempting, I watched your video a bunch of times, used the 1" blocks, lots of Windex, etc. Giving up, before I wreck my tires any further.
This is sad to hear... sorry to hear about your bead. Sometimes it can be a struggle. That Mission is tough! I have hand mounted 2 of them and they were both a pain in the butt. Drop Center... there had to be an area still not in the drop center all the way. What will you try next?
So I just did this in my garage, thank for the vid it was a struggle but so glad I’m not the only one. I got the head seated with my air compressor after this, but I don’t understand how if you had to fix something on the trail you’d set the bead ??? I guess just carry a tube and if something happens throw that in? Any more experienced people have any advice?
Congrats! It gets better with practice. Three times I’ve been unsuccessful seating a tubeless tire trailside. We tried everything… then tossed a tube into the tire. Presto… seats every time.
Just put a Motoz Adventure Rally rear on, but that Heidenau looks to be harder. The Baja No Pinch really helps.
But I had a Motoz DV to put on the front - one of the easiest ever to put on. Slipped right on.
I flipped my Dual Venture front last week and it was like butter!!! Three weeks ago I put a new Desert HT on the 1190… then a RallZ three days later due to a major puncture. I think I need a Baja No Pinch tool… they seem amazing.
@@manybikes - Oh yeah. My wife reckons it has reduced the swearing and cursing by at least 60% 😁
Rims are still on their way. Just been stupid busy with work and UPS is closed.
Woohoo!
You’ve convinced me my No Mar tire changer was a great investment.
I had a NoMar and loved it … until it was stolen from my side yard. :(
Hello Kyle! Nice vid! It is posible to do a vid about the best kit's to transform a tube rim in an tubeless one? I with like to make a 990 adventure wheels tubeless. Thank's!
Thanks for your support. Man… other than putting spokes to the outside of the rim like BMW, the tubeless endeavor with spokes on the inside is a ticking time bomb. So mane people I know who have done the tubeless conversion (Africa Twin, T7, 500exc, CB500X and more) have ended up going back to tubes. Silicone and 3M tape is what I’ve seen as the best, most affordable and most robust of the options available. All this being said, yes… I’ll look into it.
@@manybikes No Sir, thank you!!!🙏 All your advices/tips were great🍻🍻🍻
I want to see someone mount a Motoz rear tire by hand!
Ok… I do it all the time. I’ll make one for you.
How much harder are Motoz RallZ tires? Last set the dealer installed. This time I'm doing it myself.
Same same….both have robust sidewalls. Do it! Everyone should!
Great video Kyle..octopus arms 😂..i am changing regularly motocross tires with mousses, i know what you are talking about 😄. Good idea with the wooden blocks! I have the Rabaconda for dirt bike tires, almost a pleasure to change tires..i guess the rabaconda could help me also if i want to change the tires of my 1290 SAR, which i have never done before, what do you think? The advantage is..no mousse which makes pressure and no gripster...maybe a stiffer gum then MX tires? The best part is always when the tire is installed and you can take away all the bead keepers and the levers and let the air flip the tire into the bead, it´s almost as good as.... 👻
For sure! The Rabaconda is amazing. Your SAR will be fine... Just big pressure to seat the bead.
How are those tire irons? I always protect my rim with some plastic to prevent scratching. I see you aren't using any protection?
On my street rims I use microfiber cloths as the rim protectors. These beat up dirt wheels.... they are beat up and you couldn't tell a new scratch from the old ;)
Kyle, I am out of breath just watching and thinking about doing one.
It's typically not that bad. This one did fight a little... You got it... just remember that drop center! It's the most important part!
What are Octopus Arms tire fitting tools? Can't find anything on Google about them
Just realized you literally meant having more arms lmfao time for another drink 🤣
OMG this is great! I'll have one with you ;)
Thanks for the idea for the "cheater blocks". That's brilliant. You said one inch thick, right?
It is a game changer for sure! 1" thick 2" wide and 3" long is the perfect size I have found. If you sand them smooth they work even better.
I see the spokes are sealed inside the wheel. Not owning a KTM, I don't know if that is stock, did you seal it?
It’s the stock Tubeless wheel.
Good video. I'll just let you mount mine 😁😂
Come on over!
How to mount a tubeless adventure tyre at home is different to How to mount a tubeless motoz tyre at home 😆
Thanks for Kyles recommendation anyway, aprart from mounting my rallz onto the rim, happy hours every ride since!
I have hand mounted every set of Motoz tires on my 1190. The process is exactly the same and so is the outcome. Fun stuff!
@@manybikes thanks Kyle, I did it myself too. Quite a memorable experience and I wouldn't dare to do the same in the bush haha!
@@XtremeCoke yeah, the “controlled environment” is much easier. But the view out in the bush is much nicer ;)
Heat gun for a moment and you wont beat any thing up.. other than KY, nothing slips better than Dawn
Nice tips!
So that’s how you mount a tire on the 1190. I’ve only heard of such things😂
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Don’t you have any TPMS sw sorts on these wheels? Kinda looks like you’d break them if you did.
This wheel does have the KTM TPMS
Sensors. Why’s should thus installation break them?
@@manybikes Never changed a KTM wheel, but with BMW, they tell you not to break the bead anywhere near the 1/4 side where the stem is.
@@ryanmalone2681 Ahh… I see. That’s because most use a tire machine that can push the bead off the rim lip into the sensor breaking it with the Hydraulic pressure of the machine. With simple tools like this you often need to work your way around the entire rim.
@@manybikes I use a NoMar, but I need to learn to do this so I can do it on the trail if I need to but I keep putting it off!
😁
Fun stuff!
Or pay the shop. My shop charges $20AUD or free if U buy the tyre from them.
How do U get tubeless tyres off the rim?
Dude... I have a video on that coming. Our local shops charge 1 hour labor to "swap tires" so its like $125 to have them do it OFF THE BIKE. Horrible.
It's good to know how... But when you're changing this many tyres, just get a machine !!
Yes, I do need to invest in a tire machine. Would be good side $$ too for the neighbors bikes.
Omg. That looks absolutely miserable. I’m exhausted watching this. I’ll just leave the bike and buy a new one.
Ha! Ha! Ha! It wasn't that bad ;) One of the more stubborn I have spooned on in a while though.
