    I have been paying dealers to change tires during 50+ years of riding, on over 40 different motorcycles; I just used the Rabaconda for the first time and I wish I would it would have been available years ago. Over the years dealers have scratched my rims, taken too long to change tires on wheels taken in off the motorcycle, and appointments and drive time have been required. I consider any comment on this channel submitted by anyone whining about the price to be an irrelevant comment; there is a point on the graph where the inconvenience of having to pay someone else to do a job that is not difficult to do yourself combined with the ineptitude and/ or lack of caring of many shops crosses over any price I pay to enjoy the convenience of installing a new tire any day of the week, any hour of the day, at my convenience. If you seldom ride, don't ride very far in a season, have high mileage tires, are a penny-pinching oaf in a sport/ hobby that requires an infusion of cash.. or if any single one of those things by itself applies to you, keep in mind that no one is forcing you to buy this product; keep paying someone else to change your tires and feel free to put your silly comments here complaining about the price. This is a great product for a decent price; anyone who has ever attempted paying for research & development, engineering, legal fees, marketing, patent application, and production for a new item, may understand this.

      ​@@bronsonFlynnmulligana full machine is taking a lot of space. Its a thing to consider also. For me space i very good could use to wrench or park a bike. And if you just use it a few times a year the big machine is waste of space in my opinion. Thats also why i made the choice for the rabaconda

    This is the real deal. I’ve now changed 4 tires and each time it gets much easier. Changed tires on a BMW K1600 and a Kawasaki Concours 14 so far. The first few times are a struggle as you need to learn the proper technique but after that this thing is golden. Thanks to the Rabaconda folks for making this awesome tool! No more wasted time at the dealer, it’s so nice being self sufficient.

    My first couple of attempts were on stiff ADV tires. It's definitely a learning curve on those, but when I went to sport bike tires, it was so easy haha.

    • @Rabaconda
      @Rabaconda  Před 23 dny

      Working with stiff tires requires a bit more patience and soapy water. To break the bead, we work the long lever in a smaller section.

    Just got mine today, put new Shinkos on my '84 Magna. It took me longer to take the wheels off the bike than to change the tires. It was worth every. Single. Penny. Gonna do an '81 Goldwing tomorrow and an '06 V Star in the near future. Other commenters have mentioned the brush shedding bristles. And it does. But. Small potatoes compared to the main event. I do not regret my purchase, I have 4 bikes, Ima wear that thing out lol.

    Just ordered my Street Tire Ultimate kit, on the waiting list for restock in April 2023 . All good things are worth waiting for. I'll probably be putting my No-Mar up for sale/free. I'm on my 4th house move in 7 years, and I just don't have it in me to unbolt that thing from the slab and move it again. What really sold me on the Rabaconda was the portability vs. the No-Mar. So wish me luck thanks for the vids!

  • @boordbelsj
    @boordbelsj Před 25 dny

    Bought it, got it yesterday. And indead. There is a learning curve. Tried it firat with a 16inch scooter tire that is very narrow. So it was a bit triggy. I was deffinetly affraid of damaging the duckhead with spooning the tire over it at the first time. Think i need to learn to trust the plastics. But man o man. What an enjoyement. From operating to building quality. Rabaconda nailed it. This is a company they worked out everything you get in the package!(thats based on my 1st impression and 1st use)
    How often you get a bag with something and it wont even fit or tear when looking at it!
    Not with the rabaconda bag!
    So far guys i am very happy with my purchase. As you state in the first minute. You buy yourself some freedom💪🤙

    I just received a Rabaconda Street Tire Changer and am most impressed with the quality of construction and the company really has done everything possible to make this task simple and easy. The manual with the changer is excellent as are the online videos. I've tried tire irons and jumping on the tire to break the bead in the past. This is a much better, clean, safe way with no wheel damage. I am very pleased with this acquisition especially when you consider I live in somewhat of a backwater region, nearest dealer is 50 miles away, charges exorbitant prices for tires and even charges me to damage my wheels. I have three older bikes, difficult to get parts for and really can't tolerate wheel damage. This is an excellent tire changing system.

    Just received the starter kit 3 weeks earlier than expected, very happy about that! Tried it out this morning and was soon reminded that IT PAYS TO READ THE MANUAL CAREFULLY! 😋 I seriously struggled to dismount the first bead over the duck head with the tire iron, then went over the instructions and watched this video again. Don't know why it works, but putting the valve stem at 3 o'clock works. After that, everything went smoothly, it gets easier with practice. As others have said, the included brush has an issue with the bristles pulling out, but not a big issue, everything worked as advertised and I'm very pleased with it, except now all of my riding buddies want to use it.... 😛

    • @Rabaconda
      @Rabaconda  Před rokem

      Alright, Bland! Thanks for the feedback. As for the valve stem. By placing it at 3 o'clock, it won't stay in the way for the tire to fall into drop center, plus its in the last sector when working with the duck head. Hope it helps.

BEST PURCHASE EVER 1000000% worth the wait for this amazing work of art. Keep it up!!!

    I currently own 2 motorcycles ('15 FJR1300 & '14 CTX1300D). I ride commute to work 5 days a week, plus pleasure riding on weekends. On a yearly basis, I replace both tires in each bike. The last time I swapped tires they charged me $70 per tire. , this is me bringing my own wheels to them. After doing the math (70 x 4 = $280 dollars), that's half the cost of the machine. This machine will pay itself in 2 years.

    Just bought one of these street tire changers and did the front tire on my ‘14 Indian Chieftain. Dunlop’s American Elites are very stiff but warming the new tire up, 2 of the black drop center tools and plenty of tire lube helped. Getting the old tire off was more work than mounting the new tire. Have to use the supplied strap since the large brake rotors won’t let you use the pin to prevent rim rotation. Great system and I like how it breaks down and stows in the supplied bag.

    Just finished changing the rear tire on my KTM 1290 Super Adventure. I replaced the old Heidenau K60 Scout with a new one of the same type. They are extremely stiff, so it was a bit of a challenge on that type for my first try with the Rabaconda Street Bike tire changer. To be honest the hardest part was breaking the bead on the old tire. It was a slow go for me with several trips back into the house to watch the next part of the tutorial video, but I can say with complete assurance that I would never have manged to change the tire by hand without the Rabaconda. Great device! Now my only problem is that I don't have an air compressor that puts out enough air to seat the bead on the new tire. Off to Harbor Freight I go. LOL. Good work guys!

    • @Rabaconda
      @Rabaconda  Před rokem +1

      Most awesome!!! Heidenau K60 Scout is the mother of all stiffness!! 😜 We used this tire as the ultimate test. By the way, one of the early test units were turned into a pretzel 🥨😆. But our respect to you sir! When breaking the bead, it helps to rotate the wheel a tiny bit when pushing. Some how it helps to break the bead better

    The first tire I ever changed was with my new Rabaconda tire changer, and it was the rear tire of a Honda VTX 1800C. That was a tough one to learn on! The wheel stop pin wouldn’t fit with the rim & brake rotor configuration, so I had to use the strap. The wheel & tire are extremely heavy, the tire is extremely stiff, and they both fought me every step of the way. It was not easy! After that experience, I feel like I can change any motorcycle tire.

  • @disarray-qh4qw
    @disarray-qh4qw Před rokem +1

    Just did my first tire change using my brand new Rabbaconda machine. Only two complaints...
    The supplied bead grease brush is terrible, it sheds bristles all over the tire and inside the tire as I was lubing it with the lube.
    I used a tire warmer to heat the new tire before fitting it and this made the tire lube dry out a lot more quickly so I had to re-apply it as I was working the tire onto the rim with the machine, which meant more loose bristles from the brush.
    My second complaint is that the supplied drop centre tools are useless on a twin disc 2010 Triumph, they just don't fit onto the rim unless you remove one of the discs first, which is a pita.
    However, let me say that this is without a doubt, the easiest to use tire changing machine that I have used so far in many years.
    I think the design is great, and once you get the hang of how it works, it is easy to use.
    Thank you..

      @Rabaconda  Před rokem +1

      Hi Dis. Thanks for the comments! I'll take your feedback on the brush to our Product team. To avoid bead grease drying, please apply it right before you use the duck head. Otherwise when you apply it and then start heating up the tire, the bead grease will dry up. Regarding the twin disc 2010 Triumph, I kindly ask you to send us a picture at support@rabaconda.com so we could also see the problem and understand what you mean. Warm regards,

    If I still had my road bike, this looks awesome! I have watched mechanics change car tires with a similar method. However, not sure if this will work with 18" to 21" dirt bike tires with tubes and rimlocks. It seems the first side takeoff would be fine, but "backside" would hang on rim lock. Do I assume you'd flip the tire, take off that other side, reach in to remove rimlock, then get tire off on one side? I am probably missing a video ... sorry!

    • @Rabaconda
      @Rabaconda  Před měsícem

      It can work on dirt bikes as well. If you have rim locks on your dirt bike, you should incorporate an extra layer of precaution and awareness when navigating the rim lock.
      However, if you use bib mousse inserts, the only option is the Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tire Changer with a set of good tire irons. Mounting bib mousses with a duck head mounting system is impossible. For the rest of the tires, tubeless or air-tubed set ups, the Street Bike Tire Changer is a good option
      We also have a video below showing a dirt bike tire change on the Street Bike Tire Changer:

    I have a pristine Honda SP2 still on the original tyres, which now, of course, need changing.
    I am admittedly a little paranoid about marking/bruising the rim finish😳
    .
    Is there a part of the Rabaconda process that has particular risk? If so, are there any techniques that can eliminate or at least reduce the risk?

    • @Rabaconda
      @Rabaconda  Před 2 měsíci +1

      All parts that come into contact with the tire and the rim are covered in plastic. But even then, we cannot guarantee anything as it depends too much on the operator and not only the machine itself. But some tips. If you have the option to practice on an old tire before, you can learn the technique. We recommend using soapy water for dismounting and bead grease for mounting (as it helps to seal the bead better).
      The process that needs your attention when operating the duck head:
      Make sure that the tire bead is completely pushed off from the bead rest into the drop center from both sides of the tire. When pulling the tire iron to bring the tire over the duck head, please make sure that the opposite section of the tire is forced into the drop center. You can use the bead breaker for that. The wider the section pushed down the better, but don’t push it too deep as this causes additional tension on the bead. Also, we recommend starting the rotation slowly.

      Update: Just took a look at my wheel and I don't see why running a strap through one of the large holes in the rotor wouldn't work.
      Not sure, but I found one commenter on another video that said he used the Rabaconda to mount a tire to his solid disc wheel by "blocking" it. I think he somehow wedged a wheel chock between the wheel and the tire changer frame. He said it worked fine. I will be trying this with my Softail custom rear wheel as soon as my unit arrives.

I was trying to use the rabaconda street bike tool to change out the tire on my Kawasaki z125 pro which has a 12 inch wheel and the wheel would not fit because I could not slide the wheel down into the tool. The hole where the wheel bearing is was too little for the tool but looks like it would fit if I did take out the wheel bearings. I ended up taking the wheel and tire to a shop to get changed because I didn’t want to take the wheel bearings out.

    • @Rabaconda
      @Rabaconda  Před 3 měsíci

      Yes, the Street changer cannot be used with bib mousse inserts. You cannot get the tire into the drop center from the other side, as the mousse “inflates” the tire. There is simply no room to operate the duck head. Same as you cannot use an industrial tire machine to change tires with bib mousses. For the rest of the tires, tubeless or air-tubed set ups, the Street Bike Tire Changer is a good option.
