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
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! 👍🏻
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! 👍🏻
Good video. Using those jack stands was genius.
Thank you!
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
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 😂
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!
Thank you. Very easy way to balance.
Your welcome
Thank you for the great video. My 98 Aspencade air pump/suspension isn’t working. Do you have a video on trouble shooting that?
@@ralphvalkenhoff2887 Thank you, unfortunately not, I never had any problem with mine so it’s not something I ever looked into, sorry about that
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
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 Sir that was amazing
Your welcome, I’m glad it was useful 👍🏻
👊👍
Thank you 👍🏻
I got my shinkos in from chap, 50 week of 2023 rear and 8th week of 2024 having problems balancing this rear though, had to come back and see if i missed a step or something.
went back out just now, I only have 1/4 oz weights. Lol i thought that would be fine, but even of I put 2 and 1/4 ounce it stil does not balance out. i am thinking it;s less than that to ballance and that these cheap ass harbour fright non lead weights are too spread out to balance this thing. also i am doubting this red dot thing. it;s right on the valve stem but the vale stem is dang near 1/4 way to the left up with no weights. im getting a little frustrated LOL. id trade ya that older tire for this newer mfg tire Bajaja.. I think i am going to let the air out of this thing, break the bead and move that red dot to where the heavy spot is. also probably need to go get some heavier less foot print better weight set. it;s always something with me. some bs no one ever heard of before.
have wholly aphids? me neither, got up today, 109 degrees outside ! and my apple tree looked like it had snow on it! took me 2 hours of bike fixing time to fix the tree! Grrrrr
Sometimes you can balance them immediately after mounting and before airing up so that you can move the tire around to get the best mount with out using so much weight
@@herbiesgarage681 yup! just learned that the long way. LO i am blessed with sz 16.5 feet and i am 280 so i just pulled the stem valve and stomped on the tire and the bead broke loose, then I put the rim in the big clamp on the dorky harbour frieght machine LOL and I twisted that red dot to the opposite side of the wheel from the stem ( I got those 90 deg fancey ones from show chrome with a nut on it. they are lighter than the old stock one. I ended up going bac tk the machine and bringing the red dot back a little bit. Then i ballance the tire prefectly in about 6 min with .5 ounce. no joke. 1/4 on each side/
I cannot believe the weight of this tire! I mean, I dont really know what they are supposed to weigh, But i have a pretty nice scale, it's an old school fairbanks. anyway. the old rear Dunlop Elite 3 ( 2009 with IDK how many miles) it weighs in at 19.4 pounds. the new shinko is just over 21 pounds! it;s wider than the dunlop also. 160/30 16 SR734 rear SR734. IDK why they put Tour Master on the side of these, they don't even call them that on the label. the front is the 733. I tried to find centermatics and looks like the company is completely out of touch with folks. they quit making them for 1500's How weird is that? not only that, seems like they tried to scrub the internet for information about them.
@@RockAnAhardSpot I’d like to know how much your old tire weighed when new and compared that with the Shinko. Sometimes tires are lighter simply because they have less material in them. I’m not really sure though as I’ve never even checked the weight 😁
@@herbiesgarage681 I was curious as well thats why I put them on a scale/ no telling what my old tire weighed when new though. i will see if I can look that up. it is a 2009 dunlop e3 160/80 R16 what I was really curious about was if the new tire was well made. seems to be. I dont really think that the dunlop has 2 whole pounds of rubber shaved off it from usage though. I mean, it;s old and all but thats a lotta weight. I got the new tire on now and dropped the boxes back down. i fired the bike up just to hear it run without those pipes on it and now i am thinking I want new pipes! LOl sounds wicked with no pipes!
@@RockAnAhardSpot Dunlop e3 are hard tires meant to get extra mileage out of them. Some people don’t like them because they claim they are slick in the rain. I’ve had them and liked them myself. I would be surprised if the Dunlop weigh a lot less new than the Shinko but who knows it’s possible I guess.
Oh my, I started mine without pipes too, a little loud for my taste. Just something to keep in mind, when it comes time to sell the bike, you’ll cut way down on your demographic of buyers with louder pipes. Most people prefer the quiet pipes on a Wing. Imho, and from reading forums. But then again if you enjoy with louder pipes, go for it, that’s the beauty of motorcycling. We get to customize the bike to our liking 👍🏻

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
cut it off with a sawsaw
Yeah I’ve tried cutting tires off before, I didn’t care for doing it like that myself.
it a bad tire for goldwing mister shinko is not good
@@telemark140 I’ve had good luck with Shinko tires but opinions vary widely on tires and oil so I shy away from that if possible 😂

Thank you Tony, yes I found that out later. At least they were less than a year old. 😁
