Today I'll show you how to change the rear tire on a KLR650. This process is applicable to most motorcycles with or without tube-type tires. You can see the process and I'll give you some tips along the way.
I knew the basics, but as l'm a new KLR owner about to go on a long ride, I thought I should make sure l know what I'm doing. This was a really useful video and worthwhile commentary, so thank you. I also learned what a Bead Buddy is and shall add one to my tool kit 😬
Might I also add, it's a damn good idea to inspect the rubber spoke guard for any damage before you install the new tube/tire and replace it if there is any damage from spokes poking through..
Excellent vid. On topic and thorough. I just spooned my 4th 705 onto the rear of my KLR650. Glad I'm not the only one that struggles a bit. The bolt into the bench is a great trip. I'm really sure how I would do trail side. For sure warmth, lube and keeping the bead in the drop center is key. Keep 'em coming. Subd.
Its just 1/2" plywood with a 2x4 frame. It is cut in half and hinges on the wall allow it to fold up to the wall in 2 sections. The legs are also hinged so they fold down when the top is folded up. This is an old, small 7'x8' shed, so i had to configure it for as much utility as possible.
@@goneridn4339 gonna have to make one! It's a little of struggle learning the first time as eventually we will have to do it out on the back roads for sure! Thanks for the info!!!
I normally purchase from revzilla.com or rockymountainatvmc.com. Any tube with a similar ratio to the tire size and same wheel size will work, such as a 110/100-17. In an emergency you could even use a 21" front tube in the rear to get you back to civilization. Of course that is a temporary fix.
I used balancing beads in these tires, I think I forgot to show that in the video. But I do have another video on balancing tires that I will link below. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fE7f1NGOaE4.htmlsi=MLKDBp5xpbNHhPxI
