Step by step in close up detail . All of the key points explained and demonstrated throughout the video. Even a first time beginner will be able to follow along and successfully change a dirt bike tire with no trouble at all . This is also a good refresher for more experienced bikers to reference before changing a tire .
The lubricating tire paste used in this video was NO-Mar tire mounting paste and the spray bottle lube was the same product mixed with water at an 80 : 20 ratio of water to paste .
There are many products available at most automotive supply chains that work very well. Even soapy water or windex can do a fine job too .
The tire levers I primarily use on motorcycle tires are the Motion Pro 10 inch spoon type , model number 08-0115 . But I also use many other types and styles to assist when a third or fourth lever is required during an istallation .
Note * I have to add this fantastic bit of information that was kindly left in the comment section by this knowlegable fellow biker @AndreiBanciu .
"I also place the tube not in line with the valve hole of the rim, but in the opposite direction of the way the tire could slip on the rim . So when the tire has just spun a small amount , the valve stem will line up with the hole and the valve will sit perpendicular to the rim. Then its obvious there was a "slippage condition" and I either have to inflate the tube a bit , unbead the tire and re-jig it's position on the rim or, keep riding and check it regularly , allowing me to continue riding with the same settings ,if terrain requires such low pressure, because there is still more room for the tire to slip before the valve stem gets in a perilous position .
This applies mostly for the rear wheel, but I have had tires slip on the front rim as well.
Thanks Andrei ,This is great information .
