That's exactly why I love my Shinko 705's. They stick to the road like street tires, ride smooth, and they actually do decent in hard packed dirt. I might have to give those 761's a go when I wear these out.
Love these tires. I do mainly 90% onroad and 10% offroad and they work for what i want. The best thing about these tires is how cheap they are compared to how long they last and the satisfactory performance they offer.
well.. theres nothing mutch i can say now... i wanted you to put the back tire change video... but it seems that everyone else wants the same thing.. lolol get that video in here dude! =D thise videos are not just pratical... the're also entertaining! =) tumbs up for ya!
Great vid series..... could you post the rear tire vid???? It will help me with any pit-falls... many thanks Next time you guys hit South Mount--- PM me
You compress the forks to allow the untightened side to "float" laterally into a position which doesn't cause fork binding. Also, I think it's easier if you lever the tire so that the valve stem area is the last to be done. That way the valve stem doesn't limit how much the tire can drop into the well.
That was pretty good. Im doing mine soon so this really will give me a good idea on how easy it can be if I stay organized and have the right tools. Torque specs on the allen wrench or just very snug. Axle? I will pull up torque spec. Thanks. Done 3 dozen mountain bikes first flat I ever got on my KLR in 9 years.
"its pretty hard to pinch it at this stage, its easier to pinch it at another stage. Ill show u." LOL!!!! so i gota ask, did u change from calling the "shaft" an axle because of me? ;P Its good to hear "this is the plan" again.
ok no mention is made about the inner speedometer mechanism issue. 5.000 miles after fixing a flat my speedometer died. And l did my tire change exactly like this. Upon inspection l realized the speedometer gear mesh was completely eaten up, and since it's part of the hub the entire thing needs be replaced @ a nice starting cost of $500. Ridiculous. Dealer said lack of maintenance, whatever that is other than greasing it very well (like @ 6:03) upon apperture (not by some kind of scheduling??) Forums said it's a common KLR problem with no explaination. Guys just went ahead and bought the vapor techs and sent a new hub to hell
Could somebody tell me what the right front tire pressure would be on a KLR? The manual says 22 psi but the tire seems pretty flat at that pressure and doesn't feel too good either when I'm riding... Does it depend on the kind of tire I have on the bike??
@ToastToGo U might even say i appreciated this vid....prolly not as much as i would of had i been a baby because when ur a baby u appreciate stuff more and u have no hair and wear a diaper. Where as now i do have hair and dont wear a diaper but maybe when im old i will appreciate it more cuz i wont have hair and will be wearing a diaper. Plus ill be to frail to beat a subject with a dead horse ;P
you actually are pretty skilled at this for your second time. very good to see you using a bead buddy. the only thing i would recommend is that you use actual tire lube instead of windex. it is very slippery, cleans easy and when it dries it becomes sticky to help keep the tire from spinning on the rim during acceleration. and i would also not recommend using soapy water because when it dries, if you ride in the wet, it will become slippery again and spin the tire on the rim.
Very helpful thank you! We couldn’t get the tire back on until we watched and saw how you used body weight to help. Thanks!
this tire you just desmount was very elastic, wow, mine just de tire man suffered to much time and with big tools, you´re amazing
Great video, very helpful. Maybe using your knees as you move around the tire. Thank you for posting.
Ive got Stinko's on my KLR too.
it allows enough free play to finish mounting the tire great vid by the way
it allows enough free play to finish mounting the tire great vid by the way those are fork pinch bolts
@rebelyell91 great, I'm waiting for rear video too.

im not sure if its the same for motorcycle tires, but for regular car tires its called the drop center, not the dish.

Great video

Excelente. Muchas gracias. Me ha sido de mucha utilidad. Muy claro y bien hecho. Gracias.
Great vid series..... could you post the rear tire vid???? It will help me with any pit-falls... many thanks Next time you guys hit South Mount--- PM me
@jarenmanpk by popularity I'll edit and post the rear tire change eventually lol
I think you should air the vid of the rear tire. Maybe a "not to do" vid. Keep up the maintenance vids, i'm learning a lot here.
@laserblade74 I'm glad I can help and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :)

@RiderontheStorm1992 by popularity I'll edit and post the rear tire change eventually lol
"you can put your shaft back in " thats what she said :)
@Invisiblepanda haha good call
@shamshy1 will do...in time.
That was pretty good. Im doing mine soon so this really will give me a good idea on how easy it can be if I stay organized and have the right tools. Torque specs on the allen wrench or just very snug. Axle? I will pull up torque spec. Thanks. Done 3 dozen mountain bikes first flat I ever got on my KLR in 9 years.
That is the plan!
Again, awesome job and video! :) Wouldn't mind watching you change the rear tire as well.
@angelofsummons I could be wrong, but who knows :)
@1VanFlyheight1 thanks Joe - you are too kind :P
Excellent videos. You've been putting some mileage to replace the tires in less than a year. I saw the bell :D by the way.
@canis002 thanks mate! :) I'll put up the rear video hopefully within 7 days haha
I watched this because I wanted to know how you torque the front axle you didn't show that
Great vid rebel, you're a natural at these tutorials :)
@woodenchairs lol hell yes.
and I did call it an axle because of you :)
thanks, helpful,great job. I think a lot of people would consider removing the brake rotor in case things dont go well
@Hotwheelsftw lol nicee
TY
Oh I need that bead buddy. I hate fighting with putting bead in haha.
@simuma9 glad I can help
Awesome video I'm gonna try to do my own this month!
"its pretty hard to pinch it at this stage, its easier to pinch it at another stage. Ill show u." LOL!!!!
so i gota ask, did u change from calling the "shaft" an axle because of me? ;P
Its good to hear "this is the plan" again.
This video brought to you by Windex. Great job thanks for the upload.
@kd4ysi good call. :) see, refer to your service manual people! :P
Nice video! =D Would be interesting to see how it works on the rear tire ;-)
@aznbartgamer by popular demand I'll edit and post the rear tire change eventually lol
I usually run 28-32 psi in the front and 32 psi in the rear.
Hey Rebel where did you get that shirt at?
@CushFilez haha yeah? that's fine if people think that :P
actually it's less lazy to voice-over - it takes a lot of effort
@SuperDrake79 :) yep the bell is there, I STILL have to do a video on that haha
sorry buddy - perhaps we should meetup next year
@dxeavy sure i'll put that up eventually (:
Great job. I need a "bead buddy" .
@kws45fl nice...
Kenda 761s - they are pretty awesome actually - for the price. :D
@Sponge1310 by popular demand I will edit and post the rear tire change eventually. :)
Awesome dude. Post a rear tire vid too!
@attackRus I just shook my head at this comment lol
rear tire change please :)
yes very much so!
Woodenchairs is going to have a ball with this video hahaha. Great stuff.
this helped me through a few sessions of swearing and yelling. thanks!!
look for it!
Put up the rear tire change. thanks
"bead buddy " aka tire iron
Great vid, thanks
really appreciated.
next time I change a tire... Im using Astroglide ;) haha

nothing. Speedo is dead. l just use the GPS
Sounds like you put the speedo drive gear on incorrectly
@frontier1701 by popularity I'll edit and post the rear tire change eventually lol come to the monthly vlogger meet up and we'll chat then (:
@jillybooty lol I'll edit it and upload it soon :P
I like this to the point ! exactly want I needed.
I got this
Could somebody tell me what the right front tire pressure would be on a KLR? The manual says 22 psi but the tire seems pretty flat at that pressure and doesn't feel too good either when I'm riding... Does it depend on the kind of tire I have on the bike??
@ben14kansas good info good info indeed, thanks for the encouragement.
@ToastToGo Haha most likely.
@Anavengertg interesting. :)
So how are those K761's holding up after a few months use?
What make of tire is this and how well have they performed?
@ToastToGo U might even say i appreciated this vid....prolly not as much as i would of had i been a baby because when ur a baby u appreciate stuff more and u have no hair and wear a diaper. Where as now i do have hair and dont wear a diaper but maybe when im old i will appreciate it more cuz i wont have hair and will be wearing a diaper. Plus ill be to frail to beat a subject with a dead horse ;P
YAY! i finally know how the story ends!
@ToastToGo and i did ;P
Y did cycle gear do it for free I paid 100
@woodenchairs Hahahaha, Well I'm glad you appreciate this video even though you don't wear diapers and have hair.
@kd4ysi oh ok (:
lol you said shaft. he he he shaft....
@havedogwillscooter lol F youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :)
We watch the video to figure out what the Torx were and you didn't give us that so that was pretty useless
you actually are pretty skilled at this for your second time. very good to see you using a bead buddy. the only thing i would recommend is that you use actual tire lube instead of windex. it is very slippery, cleans easy and when it dries it becomes sticky to help keep the tire from spinning on the rim during acceleration. and i would also not recommend using soapy water because when it dries, if you ride in the wet, it will become slippery again and spin the tire on the rim.
