Brilliant! Clamps to break the bead. I would suggest a mounting lube.
Yeah, I plan on getting some lube, I already bought a balancer, also going to get a bead breaker. I’m trying to get into the 21st century 😂
Good video. Using those jack stands was genius.
Thank you!
Thank you. Very easy way to balance.
Your welcome
Thank you very much for making these videos and passing along your tips and tricks. It inspired to do the tire change myself, it worked out on the front wheel but I ended up taking the rear wheel to shop as I didnt have the C clamps you used and my vise was too small. The video showing the wheel removal and lifting up of the bags saved me alot of time. Keep up the great work..subscribed 👍👍😎
Your welcome Peter! I’m glad the video was helpful, thank you very much for subscribing! 👍🏻
I also run Shinko tires with good results.
The pressure listed on the tire is maximum pressure cold, not necessarily what you have to use. Somewhere between what Honda recommends and maximum pressure is likely where you'll find the best results.
I clean my rims with soapy water and lightly scrub with 0000 steel wool. It doesn't scratch but cleans excellent. Sometimes I'll use a heat gun on sticky weights after they're stuck to rim to make sure they adhere well. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much! 👍🏻
Hey friend!
The rim you will notice is conical. It is way easier and more correct to remove it towards the rotor lateral side. That way, you’re not fighting to remove the inner edge over the thicker part of the rim. Next time try t will be easier. Most car rims are designed that way.
Great videos, brother👊👊
Awesome, thank you for that information!! I appreciate helpful comments like this because it helps me and probably others as well. 👊👊
wow! a 22 in 24 from Dennis KIRK noted, i am fixing to go with shinkos I think also. thinking of SR733 SR734 combo but I aint going to order from DK lol. they are more expensive from there also and have not answered my emails . Been really trying hard to fin a set of centramatic balance disks so I would not have to go thru the whole wheel wheel balance thing but no luck. seems to me they scrubbed the info from the net and quit selling them for 1500's and now only make them for 1800's weird. would be cool to never have to balance the wheels again and always have them be exact thru their wear time.
It's been a while since I've done that tire change but if I remember correctly, I made a correction on that because I read the date code wrong, I'll have to go back and check. I just ordered a set of tires off of Amazon and they are a year and a few months old. Dennis Kirk has always been a good company to buy from in my experience. I think the less popular tires are going to be older stock, just the nature of the beast, I guess. They do make balance beads that you pour into your valve core, and they do work fantastic I've used them before and are super simple to use. Thanks for the comment
FYI, I just got a set of Dunlop Elite 4s from Wingstuff, they are about 6 months old. Dish soap is made to break down grease, and can degrade tire rubber.
Thank you for the information, I’ve never had any problems with the dawn soap in over 20 years of changing tires but I might need to consider switching to a regular tire lube instead. I like the Elite 4 tires and will probably go to them next.
@@herbiesgarage681 The real stuff isn't expensive on Amazon.
I lived in snow country for a while, and watched when summer tires were taken off a friend's car to put on her snow tires. There was a gummy residue left on the rims that the tire shop guy said was because of the dish soap that her brother had used 6 months earlier.
@@SoloPilot6 I see, that interesting, Thank you!
Just a little tip for breaking the bead…use your body weight and a spade shovel (tip point away from the rim towards the tire) …two jumps is about all you need
Thanks for the tip 👍🏻
@@herbiesgarage681 No problem…I’ve been doing motorcycle tires for years this way…even my car tires…I recommend practicing on an old rim and tire you don’t care about to get the technique down. But once you’ve mastered the technique…changing a tire takes about 5 minutes or less
@@localenterprisebroadcastin5971 Awesome, thanks
Thank you Sir that was amazing
Your welcome, I’m glad it was useful 👍🏻
ha my old tires are dunlop e3 from 2009 but i would like my dot on my new set of shinkos to be 2004 lol
2024 tires would be nice
👊👍
Thank you 👍🏻
just save me 50 bucks. LOl I was going to go buy more crap. I was thinking I MUST have the Conical bolt on the shaft stand LOL nope! i have jack stands! I am just going to order my tires online , I was thinking i would wait and call moto one one more time and see what they would charge for all this and .. i don't even want to mess them/ seems ridiculous. I don't go to mechanics to fix my cars and trucks, I don't make car and bike payments, I don't buy warranties, why would I treat this situation differently. I will order my tires and spend the days waiting cleaning up my garage a bit.
Yeah, save a few bucks and maybe learn something new, win-win

Thank you Tony, yes I found that out later. At least they were less than a year old. 😁
cut it off with a sawsaw
Yeah I’ve tried cutting tires off before, I didn’t care for doing it like that myself.
44th week of 22
That makes sense, I was thinking it was the 4th day of the 4th month of 2022.
@@herbiesgarage681 Most likely you'll need new tires before you have to worry about the age of your new tires. I bought a used low miles Bike. One owner was 70+ years old. He kept it garaged. He bought the bike as NOS (new old stock) later in 2020 that Honda had shipped to the dealers at a discount to the USA to get them out of their warehouses in Japan. He provided me the original Bill of receipt and maintenance paperwork and gave it to me after purchase to keep as history/records. The bike had 4k on the original 2015 Bridgestone tires. No cracking or other issues with the tires so I rode on them for an additional 2k miles. Not too fast or crazy curves. I think the older 2015 tires were getting harder, yet I had no issues on pavement or wet roads. They still had a lot of tread on the old tires when I recently swapped the 2015 Battlax Bridgestones out for new Dunlop RoadMasters. The new tires feel better. They are DOT1823
@@nomoreblahblah interesting story, thanks for sharing that! Sounds like you got something special. I have 4 bikes so I only ride my wing maybe 3k miles a year so yeah most likely I will need tires in 3-4 years anyway
