How NOT To Spoon Dirt Bike Tires.. *Rage Warning*
Vložit

- This is one skill every motorcycle owner should have in my opinion. It is more of an art and I am not Picasso, I have changed probably 6 or so tires using this method and let me tell ya these small ones haven't gotten easier. It seems that the smaller the tire is, the stiffer it is, and after reflecting on this specific tire change on my 2012 KLX110L I would have definitely used a third or even fourth spoon.
Getting that last part of the bead to stretch over the rim is always the hardest and I am sure there are some CZcams experts out there who have the answers so please leave a comment down below!

thay are hard to work on i use 3 to 4 spoons when changing pit bike tiers
I definitely need another set! Bead buddy seems to be the answer.
I have a friend who does motorcycle and car tires, so he does them for me
@@AdventureDaily i have a Bead Buddy too epic tool
There is no rage worse than putting everything back together just to realize you popped the tube 😂 the way I do it is wrapping the end of flathead screwdrivers with duct tape, works good and keeps the jagged edge from popping them. I also use wd-40 instead of soap
Trust me I have done it a couple times and about set the bike on fire😂 Great idea! WD40 is good for just about everything.
Happened to me twice in a row lol
I have changed many many many z125 tires and when you figure out how to use your knees to hold the tire opposite your spoons. So you will be kneeling on one side and spoons on other . That keeps the tire off the bead in center of rim. Then you will be zipping tires on off easy. Great video
Thanks for the tip! Honestly I tried but my knees are shot right now so I couldn't bear it. I am looking into getting a manual machine.
I legitimately haven't laughed this hard watching a video in a long time. You took that a hell of a lot better than I would have. That little pizza wheel would have been tossed out that garage door or I'd have thrown it into the stove. I'd say 3-4 spoons at least and dude, as they say, time is money so look at a stand at least and maybe a changing machine if you plan on doing this regularly. For lube I usually use Armourall or WD-40.
You should never use those as lubes, you want something that is slippery for a moment and then dries off.
@@Ricqu Sorry, I don't share you concern with respect to a dirt bike tire. Raced for years, never an issue.
I'm dying, you kill me with the struggle. Reminded me of my first time changing a tire.
Motion pro makes a bead buddy that helps with changing tires, Happy Birthday Alexis🎊🎉🎂🍻
Great suggestion Paul that seems to be the answer!
Another video, another good laugh.
Happy birthday 🎂🎂🎂🎂
Thank you Mr. Santos!!🙏🏻
This makes me laugh but I have a crf50 with a flat and been putting it off for about 6 months
Good luck!! I am sure this video didn't help motivate you to do it😂
Aaron Van Roekel I just had my friend change mine because I can’t do the 50’s, they are way too small
13:53. Changing motorcycle tires does this to me too. For those that don't know, don't know. The rest of us...
Happy Birthday little lady!
Glad I’m not the only one😂 She thanks you!
You need to put the tire on the ground and use your knees to push the bead towards the center of the rim on the opposite side that you are working your spoons. If you use this technique it makes taking the tire off and putting on much easier on your knuckles. Ok, I commented before the video was over and towards the end of the video you said you know about centering the bead opposite the the spooning but you didn't do it so....????
I tried centering the bead but the tires were so stiff and my knees just weren't enough. I'll be buying a manual machine here soon and giving that a try.
🤣🤣 your a classic mate but I do admire you perseverance and by the way Happy Birthday Alexis 🎈🎈🎈🎈
biggest factor is breaking the bead and consistently making sure both sides of the bead are sitting in the middle of the rim where there is more room, its neigh impossible to remove a tyre whilst the beads are sitting up against the rim walls
Are you sure you broke the bead on that side totally before going in with the spoons? Seemed like the bead was still seated.
It was broke just wouldn't sit in the center, seems like the bead buddy is the answer!
Bead buddy along with the Baja no pinch tool will make this job so much easier. You will never go back to using spoons for the install after using that tool... When removing the tire stick 3 or 4 irons in at once about 4" apart, pry the middle ones first, then the outside. This is the easiest way to get started removing the tire.
You extended the life of the bearings and chain with your cleaning technique. Happy Birthday Alexis!
Thanks for the good laugh haha.
On a serious note, use more spoon, will def help you since small tires can be a pain.
Happy birthday Alexis :)
Anytime😁 An extra spoon and a bead buddy seems like the answer! She thanks you!!
Man, that was funny as hell. As far as tire change tips, just watch pretty much any Jay Clark video. He's a rep for Dunlop, so he changes many tires! He can explain it a lot better than me, but definitely get 3-4 good 13.5" motion pro spoons and a bead buddy. The best tire lube I've used yet is a product made by No-Mar - its a tire paste and you can pick some up on Amazon.
I always use a “Bead Buddy” to stop the tyre bead coming off and sending your tyre levers flying.
If you have a bearing press in your shop, put down the spoons. Use the ram on your press to press your tire on after putting it on as far as you can by hand. Just work it around 2 to 3 inches at a time. This saves damage to your rim also. I have a bearing press from H.F. 😎
Happy Birthday Alexis!!!!!🎂🎂🎂Hope y’all have a wonderful night 🔥🎉🎂
I have the same set of motion pro tire irons. They are ok and pack nicely, but if you try and do anything other than a basic tube type with them I always manage to find a way to destroy the tire because they are too small to get enough of a bite without destroying the bead. The actual "spoon" shaped ones seem a lot better.
Thanks for making this, great laugh. My garage sounds exactly like that when I change tires 😁
Happy birthday Alexis wish you all the best. Enjoy your special day.
She thanks you!!!
Use 2 people get more spoons and it make its way easer don’t we wish we had 3 hands, great vid super funny happy b day Lexis
Funny to watch you do a tire. Push the tire down in the rim on the opposite side of the spoons 😂😂😂😂😂
No way I had no idea!!
I'm about too do my rear tire and I looked up a vid and saw one by adventure daily (attention deficit) and I had too watch because I've been watching for years lol but the part where you rim saver went flying and wasted pops up had me dieing tanner 😂😂
I understand you know keeping the bead in the valley is the money shit I put the tire on the ground and stand and squash the bead like that. Glad you got that tire done it was painful to watch!
🤗 happy birthday lex🥀🥀 love from R1 Greg 🖐️🥳🥳
Happy birthday Alexis!
She thanks you!
Happy Born Day, Lex.
She thanks you!
That is like doing tires for lawnmowers. Some are easy others are a pain in butt and make you angry.
Happy birthday Alexis 🎂 Tanner that rim protector to the face looked brutal 🤕
She thanks you! It felt great😂
You were having trouble with that tire because you did not have your co-worker Diesel there for help! Lol
Probably so!! My furry manager would have shown me the ways!
Happy Bday Alexis, Hope your having fun and doing well. Hope to see you in more videos. Thank you both so much for all the great videos.
Chris. #GromGang
Ok pro tip you need to get the opposite side of the tire into the center of the rim. When the bead is still up the tire doesn’t fit over the rim. It makes it much easier to use spoons. Or you can do what I do and use a rim clamp tire machine. Just did my grom pilot powers the other day.
Try a piece of 2x4 or thinner wood to keep bead down.
On the opposite side of the tire iron if someone could help you have them push the tire down into the center of the rim. Easy Peasy!!!! But the smaller the tire the bigger Bitch it is to change. I also use Honda Spray Polish on the tire bead. Seems to help me out. And Happy Birthday Alexis!!!!!!
Happy Bday Alexa.
She thanks you!
Dude that was comedy gold, pretty much everything the hard way you could do in changing a tyre, you managed to find it 😆 A 3rd spoon and "Bead Buddy" from Motion Pro will make your life much easier but less entertaining for us!
I am here for your entertainment!😁 Bead buddy sounds like the answer thank you for the comment!
Get ya some of the Dr. Roc spoons on amazon with the screwdriver like handles, and a bead buddy, went from impossible to doable with those tools
Bead buddy seems like the answer! Thanks for the comment!
I have tears in my eyes from laughing so much hahahaha. Best video youve made to date! my advice take it to a shop. Thats what i do with my KLX haha. Ill rebuild an engine no problem but mini dirtbike tires...nope.
I laughed so hard how did I miss this video I completely felt your pain been there so funny
You'll have an easier time doing that on the floor using your feet and knees to hold down the spoon while you move to the next spoon and get a better set of 3 spoons with a curve on one end easy peasy.
For sure!
@@AdventureDaily The curve I mentioned is a cresent following the profile of the sidewall.
Tanner says some of the most random shit lol 😂
Just imagine the stuff I don't put in the video😂
Attention Deficit you should make a deleted scenes video but CZcams would probably take it down
I was totally feeling like I'm not f****** with the front tire either after finally getting the back tire off lol
Happy birthday Alexis
She thanks you!
Dude!!! I think we were literally changing mini tires at the same time the other night! I did the front tire on my Grom and it was awful. After the rear comes in tomorrow I don't think I will ever do that again. It's probably the only thing besides roof work that I will probably pay someone to do from now on. Not a fan of heights..
I'm sure a tyre stand sill make a huge difference.
Proper tyre soap is better than soapy water too as your hands and tools can stay dry 👍
this video killed me lol. You attitude was pretty good compared to how I was last time I did this. After busting 2 tubes I brought it to the Honda shop lol
I tried to maintain my cool! It's hard to complain with the shop being done, it is my place of Zen😂
Attention Deficit I completely understand, I completed mine about 6 months ago.
Happy 23 ed girl!
She thanks you!
Best tire bead lube I've ever used is Crisco cooking shortening.
I can really empathize with you on this video.
One trick I’ve learned is to have something stand on the tire with the rim on the floor. It lets it have more room to work with. And it’s easier to get the tire spoon/screw driver in
Good idea! Thank for the tip.
Never use screw drivers. Also these tire irons aren't the best you could use. Try the "spoon" shaped irons, Motion Pro makes them, you'll find them. They are much easier to work with
I like how he makes videos of him struggling to put a tire on
I’m here for your entertainment😂
I chickened out, when it came time to change the Grom. One long "curved shank tire spoon" and two like those I carry on my TU250X, for emergency; not looking forward to it. Used them on 50cc scooter tires for practice, the first tire was hell. Sometimes it's best to just be a chicken.
what helps me is to surround myself with stuff I dont mind destroying on projects like this cause I have a terrible temper and will F some S up. Speaking of today I broke a tap off flush in my car hood henge. everything I touch I break at least once.
I can totally relate to this :D I changed my tires last week, I can totally relate. Front... moderately annoying. Rear - 2 hands and one leg, and 2lbs hammer job ;) I beat the last bit of tire on the rim
Dude that was painful but funny to watch! But i bet most of us watching have been there! It is what it is... Check out the bead buddy seems to help.
Workshop looks fire!
Thank you!!🙏🏻
Good video, I tryed doing my kx80 back tire its 14 inch and I lost my voice by screaming and almost literally gave myself a heart attack just trying to get it off then before I sent myself to the hospital in am ambulance and lost 65 pounds from sweat I decided to pay my shop the 15 bucks it was to do it lol
Try a c-clamp on the tire opposite your spoons. Helps keep bead in the channel.
I have actually tried that before! I'm going to buy a manual station here soon.
Def need a third iron. I use a pair of Motion Pro bead breaking levers, they are long for leverage, along with a few of their short levers.
Best way to mount small tires is to change them on the floor and use your foot to prevent the tire from backing off works every time 👌🏽
I tried off camera, still failed😂
I found that the larger the spoon the better. Sometimes the ends are too thick to fit between the tire and the rim. I ground a sharper taper into the ends to make it easier. Also bar clamps help get the bead into the center.
Thanks for the tips!!
I used to mount 6pr trelleborg 450x18, and not what they call 6 plies today=3 on the side and 3on the tread=6pr not a chance. Pins on the bead for rimlocks
I double tubed one for a s score race, there was a 23 mile long asphalt section, I had a rear flat and didn't know it, the tire melted and was coming apart hitting me in the back with big big melting pieces of tread.
Try doing it on a carpeted floor. I use my knees to hold down the tire irons. It’s like have 2 more hands
Nice!
Like putting your fingers in a barrel of of mouse traps doing that tyre. Happy Birthday birthday girl hope you had a lovely meal x😃🎂🍰🍹🎈🎊🎉
Watch Dirt Bike Channel. Kyle has gotten pretty good at changing tires
Thanks for the tip!!👊🏻
I live in Florida
Nice!!
Can I use parts of your video in my video just to show people how frustrating it is changing bike tires
I hate doing tires and end up taking them to the shop for $25 a tire lol but I've used the "zip tie method" a few times and had good luck with it
Yeah it's almost worth the money sometimes haha but it is one of those things I want to master. Bead buddy seems to be the answer!
@@AdventureDaily bead buddy will help for sure! Motion pro also makes a tire install tool I've never tried but looks pretty easy to use it goes in like an axle then you ratchet it all the way around until tire is on
👏👏😁yes going for the one dude great video man 🤪👊👍 from R1 Greg
Thank you Greg!! Good times.
HAHA great video man
Good times haha.
Where has your crf450l gone? I just picked one up at a huge reduction.
I run the protrax tires, was actually pretty surprised by them.
Seemed like a no brainer for the price and reviews!
I'ma shit myself if I don't see some 450L content soon
would a "bead lock" (?) help when spooning the tire
"bead buddy"
I've never swapped out a 18" or smaller tire. I just want to know if a bead buddy would really help because I might end up doing it for a 2020 CRF250L ABS.
It will help!! 250L tires are easy though.
You should put an engine with a remote on that garage door and use it as your main entrance. Once done you won’t regret it.
It's on my list!
I always take the side grinder to my old tire because well im not putting them back on. That way the only fight is the new one
I thought about it😂
MotoAZ Sound wisdom.
you gotta have some hair on it, bring back tha busch
When you put the tub in do you put air in it ?
Hang those tires above the wood stove next time!
Great idea!!
Have you ever thought about going tubeless
That was so painful to watch, I wanted to stop watching but couldn’t. Lol I actually love changing tires but with the right tools on hand.
Dude u need a tire change stand
Watching you remove that tire was super cringe worthy. Looked like you caught that tire spoon right between the eyes. How you avoided a massive egg on forehead is a miracle. Way to go.
I'm here for your entertainment😂
What year is that old drum brake bike?
Push the opposite end of the tire into the rim channel brah!
Easier said than done my friend these tires were stiffer than me when I wake up in the morning.
🎂 happy birthday
She thanks you!
I usually stand on the tire😂
A stand makes it tons easier but pit bike tires suuuuuck. Especially when you pinch the tube and have to do it twice lol.
That's what I hear from a lot of people, hence why I made sure to say don't give me advice unless you have done small tires haha. It is definitely a struggle.
Lol lol no coment I'm a loss of words bud lol.
Good times!
When you gonna do the kx100🥺
As soon as I get back from Florida my man IT'S GOING DOWN!
Heat the tire real warm first, softer is easier.
For sure!
if you crack the rim to change the tire...fail quit job, fired.
That was painful to watch
Free entertainment!
pit bike tires are the best!
Good times😁
LMAO
Good times😂
Where in fl are u going to be i really want to meet u
Everywhere!! What area are you in?
Tampa bay area
But anywhere around there i could meet
Are u going to be doing any rideing
Local bike shop charges me $35 a wheel, i guess this is why
It's definitely worth the money with these small guys!
Shop I work at does 15$😂
@@jesse9705 yea, i live too close to seattle, where is it that you work?
A broken tooth doing it
Damn near!
I meant to say I broke a tooth doing it because it came out the tire
Lmao soooooo painful to watch 😂
