Very helpful. A couple tips: you mean tire bead, not tire beam, and the thing inside the valve stem which you unscrewed is the actual valve. It’s called a Schrader Valve. Thanks for the DIY.
Thank you Phil. Although I made a few Typos on my other videos. I'll be making more videos in the future and I hope it will help a lot of motorist. Have a wonderful day Phil.
So where were the 2 pops as you first inflated the tyre?....sorry tire. It will pop as either side bead crosses the ridges around the wheel.....this way you know it has seated correctly......usually you then reduce pressure to the correct value for riding. Then check the rubber lines around the tyre to see if parallel with rim to make sure its concentric.
Nice, but a couple of things: 1. I wouldn't trust the axle to balance the wheel. If it's stiff at all, especially with grease all over it which causes surface tension, then it won't be accurate. Better to do off bike with a piece of steel bar in a vice or something 2. Tightening your breaks that way may make them drag and not brake as eficiently. You should rotate the wheel while gently squeezing the brake lever until it finds it's home, then tighten up the bolts while holding the lever in to keep it locked in place. It will then run true.
Thanks for the tip it's exactly what I need to do on the brakes, no wonder why it was slipping a little bit. I actually did a rework on the wheel balance with a wheel balancer but I admit I got lazy and did not do the video on it. Again thanks for the advice. Have a great safe ride day.
@@bosconiantrade6181 No worries, I got the tip from David Moss Tuning and always do my brakes that way now. BTW you made the tire removal and install look super easy compared to the nightmare I had. Took over a day to get on and off my Angel GT. I didn't have the bead breaker that you have, just 3 spoons. My neighbour used to be a tyre fitter and even with his help we struggled. Used nearly a whole bottle of dish soap to get it to seat on the bead, taking the pressure up to 70psi, hitting with hammer, bouncing around etc. I don't think I will bother again. It's only 50 quid labour I saved on.
The brake calipers are indexed by sitting over a shoulder so the method you speak of probably won't make a difference but it doesn't hurt if it makes you feel better.
@@andrewloeffler432 Yes they are, but there is still lateral movement since the machined parts are not perfect. They make the shoulders smaller on purpose because of thermal expansion, so there is always wiggle room (literally). Perhaps on later bikes than mine they started to make them so they line up perfectly, but until I get a new bike and find this out, I still need to do it this way.
Hi! Nikolay. I did that intentionally for the following reasons: Torque Values are critical. Mechanics should always recheck torque values " in Accordance with Manufacturers Specifications because they can be modified and change for newer models. Normally Quality Assurance Inspectors witness Torques in critical areas . For safety precautions I recommended for solo mechanics that they should always verify and confirm Torque Values through the Maintenance Manual specified for the bike. Have a safe ride.
Nice video. only one thing I wonder. Why would you change your tire yourself without a tire machine? For 10euro or dollar you can have it done at your local motorcycle shop. otherwise a beautiful bike.
Actually I did it out of curious sake. It's my first time doing it. If you ask me if I want to do it again after 7 years hmmmm...well I don't know I'll be 68 yrs old by then. Yeaph maybe I'll just go to the shop and have it done. Thank you.
Thanks for this useful tuto now i will not be be afraid to do it myself Just let ask you few questions how many Km you got on your bike ? do you use it every day ? but most important HOW CAN YOU HAVE A BIKE SO SHINNING spécially the exhaust ? please help us best regards
I average about 1400 to 1600 miles a year. I'm trying to preserve it as much as I could. So maybe one day may one of my grandkids or future great grandkids can enjoy it. To keep the chrome shiny. I use recommended cleaning stuff that are safe for the bike. Ride safe have a great day.
Just about to do exactly the same on exactly the same bike - Great video

Yeaph you were right about that. Thanks
Awesome video, exactly what i needed and to the point.
This is an outstandingly clear and well made video.
Thank you Phil. Although I made a few Typos on my other videos. I'll be making more videos in the future and I hope it will help a lot of motorist. Have a wonderful day Phil.
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much for video….massively helpful 😃
Good video. I would suggest putting some blocks or something underneath the rim so you dont warp the rotors.
Good idea. Thank you.
nice video and i feel cared for in your videos. you have a wonderful life.
Thank you
Thanks, very helpful. *Sweet torque wrench.
Why not supply torque specs?

Thank you for the tips. I'll do that next time I change the front tire but for the rear one I always bring to the shop to get it pop.
Great video

What grease do you use on the spacer and quick release shaft? Can I pick that up at the auto parts store?

Nice vdeo, but I was wondering why you didn't bother to balance your tire?
As a matter of fact that will be on my next video. Stay tune. Maraming salamat ride safe mga utol.

Thank you, very informative. Only you missing are torque values for all of bolt junction.

Thanks for this useful tuto
now i will not be be afraid to do it myself
Just let ask you few questions
how many Km you got on your bike ?
do you use it every day ?
but most important HOW CAN YOU HAVE A BIKE SO SHINNING spécially the exhaust ?
please help us

Which brand of tyre did you installed on your BM? Thanks for the video.
Michelin Road 5
@@bosconiantrade6181 Now that you have ridden the Michelin Road 5s for a while, how do you like them? I'm thinking of putting them on my R1200RT.
Very smooth specially on the curbs. Michellin Tires maybe a little bit pricy but it's worth what I paid for.
@@bosconiantrade6181 Thank You! I have Micheleins on my baggers and love them, but wondered about handling on the BMW.
What tool was used to remove the air valve?
I used a Tire valve cover with stem core remover. Thank you for watching the video.

Good job cababayan
I like your scooters. I enjoy watching your videos.
