Hey Josh you should youtube changing motorcycle tires using zip ties and see what ya think. I've used this idea several times it's the only way I'll do it now.
Good morning Mr. Surgeon this was a great video and would love to see this become a regular or series on the channel.
$60/year to have any motorcycle repair question honestly and factually answered that could potentially save you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. You can't beat that deal!
I’m really loving this new ‘series’. As someone who doesn’t know how to work on anything, I really appreciate how you get very remedial.
Hang around!!!... You'll pick up a thing or 2😉
I am what I call mechanically challenged.
Its nice having friends that know their shit
You ain’t kiddin!
First, this new mechanical series with Joe is indispensable and thank god it lives here on the internet for all of eternity. B, 2 seasons with my local shop changing tires plus the gouge they put in my beautiful gold cross spoke rims....then watching you guys...it will only take 3 seasons and the Rabaconda will pay for itself. Keep it up Joe and you're gonna be a STAR!!
this is a great series thanks Joe, Shadetree
Mondays with Joe needs its own intro theme because he really stealing the show
Dear Mr. Surgeon, This guy is a gem. Thank you, sir.
This is awesome. Thank you guys. I learned to balance a wheel by watching an older (80 year old) fella do it like you did. But he didn’t explain what he was doing.
I'm really looking forward to this collaboration. You two have a good chemistry, and I KNOW I'm gonna learn whole bunch of great stuff while still keeping it weird! Great job, guys!
I never hate hangin with Joe :)
This is awesome!!! I haven't changed a tire in a loooong time. What a great reference. Thank y'all so much!
When i changed the tires on my dual sport it was 98 degrees and i didn't have a fan or stand. It was 2 spoon bars and piece of particle board on the floor to prevent damage to the hard wood floor of the shed. It wasn't as bad of a time people were making it out to be. Simply because i let the 2 new tires sit ontop of the SUV in direct sun for 2 hours before i put them on the rim. For balancing i used 2 floor jack stands and the tires axle bar to find the heavy spot.
Damn that stand seems like a life saver, I wrestled some shinko 777's for my sportster and I was hating like doing in on the garage floor and decided to use cyclegears free tire change with purchase for my next set on my striple but that was a 3 day ordeal and in a different city so a long drive. Thank you guys for this, great content, makes me wish i lived in florida so i could ride with you guys!
You know what, I'm actually getting a new front tire put on next week because I wasn't confident in dealing with bead sealing and other tire shenanigans... But Joe did a great job in convincing me that it's not all that bad. I might do it myself next time.
You guys did a awesome job changing tires i didn't even get tired watching 🤔
😂
Man, I really appreciate all the info from the Mountain Jedi. I have really enjoyed his informational videos. Even though as a mechanic i have done all these things, but he pointed out a lot of tips and tricks that are helpful, especially with the balancing.
Appreciate it brother....pass it along!
Yes! Mechanic Monday! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, experience and wisdom, Joe! You’re a gentleman and scholar, kind Sir, and a sharp dresser too! Pierre from Montreal (yeah, that guy 😁)
I’m loving these Joe segments
This was freaking awesome! Thanks for sharing and trying something different.
Lovin it! Lookin forward to the next monday!
Just call me Micky dees cause im lovin it! ok that may have been a little too cheesy... any way keep em coming guys.
I could listen to this man talk for the rest of forever. He sounds like glazed America warmed in the oven on Sunday morning.
Joe said something very important there... when working on your own bike you see other things that maybe need some love... Good video guys and big thanks!!!
I love the content with Joe the Mountain Jedi. The perfect amount of explanation and a little humor mixed in. 👍🏼✌️
I've poor boy'd my fair share of tires over the years, last ones being during covid lockdown, a set of four 31-10.50's. One thing I have never attempted is fork seals, and I have a little bit of oil showing on one and gonna have to do it before to much longer. Any advice from the Surgeon and the Jedi would be awesome. Loving these vids and all the vids really. Thanks!
Stay tuned.....gonna be diving into some forks here in a couple of weeks on a long term project!!
Wouldn’t try it but definitely understood the concept. Thanks Joe
So this year i tried balancing beads and got motion pro bead budy highly recommend them .
I absolutely love these segments. Great job guys
I'm in love with the new series! Joe is a master teacher!
"The sole, shining glimpse of worth that this thing has..." LOL I love this guy
Keep them coming! Enjoying having more Expert Joe time on the channel.
I just changed both of my tires, I like doing it myself. Great explanation of balancing!
Wow, love this new series! Joe is very personable and communicates like a friend.
This content is very helpful to those of us not skilled enough to be a "surgeon". I can ride them, but I can't fix them. Joe's nature seems to perfectly align with the idea of teaching. He is very calm in his explanations and does not panic when things are not as expected. I hope we can get much more content with Joe. And as always, Josh thanks for keeping it weird.
Great job Joe the mountain jedi balance tire makes it a more smoother ride. Thanks for sharing shade tree Army
I'm glad to see I'm not the only person that will call when the older more knowledgeable guy for help and they are willing to pass on the knowledge ❤
Between Joe the Mountain Jedi and @saddletramp, you've got me covered.
I have changed 7 tires on 4 bikes in the last 2 years on my knees. That stand sorta sucks, but better than on your knees. (One knee replaced and the other one hates me. Ha )
Thanks to you and Joe. For all the info. Keep them coming
I've probably changed 20 tires by hand with no stand. For a bead breaker, I used a old bumper jack, putting the base on the bead and jack it up. It works slick as shit.
That was very easy to follow...for us challenged folk. Thank you, Joe!
LOVE this!!!! Obviously we all love Joe and being a sponge around him would be a privilege. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that him talking with a cig in his mouth hit me in the feels as my dad did that and I NEVER gave it a thought, until Joe just did it. Brought a smile and was a fantastic memory of my dad whos been gone for 34 years.
I'm sorry, but somehow my reply to your comment vanished!!
I hope the memory was a good one for you.....I catch myself doing the same thing at odd times throughout the day. I learned SO much from my Dad and Grandpa that stuck with me to the core....both of these Men were a HUGE impact on my life, and the way I approach things, and I miss them both something terrible....
My sympathies on your loss sir, I know that pain well brother.
I just changed my tires for about the 4th time and it doesn't get easier, but I'm glad to have done it myself.
Did my front tire a couple weeks back, used spoons and the zip tie trick, worked pretty good
As someone who only has a small amount of confidence when working on a 70's or 80's Japanese dirt or street bike. I have a desire to learn how to do at least regular maintenance on my 2005 Dyna.
Man, I love these episodes with Joe. Such a down-to-earth dude that knows his shit!
Two further tips. Warm the Tyre in the sun or with a heat gun, makes life easier. Also start and finish at the valve stem then you can push it up to keep front snagging the tube.
I do mine on a mat in the driveway/garage with spoons. The first time was fun. An 05 sporty with factory tires in 22. I do have a manual press that I used with wood blocks to break the beads though. Be creative and the journey makes itself.
Awesome video my mind is blown about balancing the tire.
What I wouldn't give to just drink beer and tinker on shit with joe. That would be a awesome time. Keep up with the Mondays with joe y'all are the shit
Great new addition to channel!! Look forward to more from the Jedi.
This is great. If that was me, there would be a lot of cussing and sweating and some bleeding. Lololol 🤣
Here's one about Harley rims for ya. Most of the 70-80s sportster rims that were spokes were boranni rims. so what you say . Well they completely were hand made in Italy. Hand formed , hand drilled for spoke holes, and assembled. If I remember correctly there were 3 different rims. The most valuable were the high wallers . On the inside of the rims was a type of serial number that indicated what motorcycle it was built for and manufactured for the brand of bike. Now these wheels were built for cars ,bikes, motorcycles, and race cars from the early teens or twenty's of the 19 th century. Including Ferraris . They are valuable. I have a few of them polished up they look real nice !
This was EXCELLENT, nice job guys!!!
I also find leaving the new tire to soak in the sun, if available, helps with mounting it. If no sun, then a hair dryer or heat gun (carefully) will help relax the tire and make installation that much easier ...
I love the collaboration between Shadetree and Joe... but I hope Joe will start his own channel at some point.
I frickin' hate changing tires. It always takes me 3 times as long as I budget for. That Rabaconda device that Weems has looks really nice. I don't change tires that often so it's hard to justify buying one of those. I think I've changed 3 sets of motorcycle tires in my life. I cursed and screamed the whole time.
Love it! I've changed countless tires by wrestling them on the floor with spoons and a C clamp to break the bead. Even my kids helped me. But I started by using big flathead screwdrivers on bicycle tires. I usually used Dishsoap, byt now I'll try silicone.
One thing a bunch of guys suggested when I got my harbor freight wheel holder, was to bend the tabs that clamp down on the rim. So it doesn't pop off. And get a big NoMar brand tire iron.
Great content! Thanks for all your work.
How toos are not the staple of this channel but this one was useful. Thanks.
I've been using a Rabaconda for about 4 years and let me tell you the money was money well spent. It makes changing tires a breeze and when you change tires as many times as I do as well as all of my friends now that they know I have a tire changer. The instructions from Joe the Mountain Jedi was excellent.
Well I thoroughly enjoyed that. Already looking for the next one.
Great video guys! My first go i didn't have a balancer. I used the balance beads
Great video guys thank you for your knowledge Joe
👍👍👍THANK YOU and as others have said - you've got the level just right for utter beginners like me.
This series JUST might give me the confidence to start doing a few maintenance basics at least.
Great job on this, a good way to teach
Oh yeah, keep those tutor video's commin' !
Very awesome vid! The balancing was really interesting.
I'm proud of you for trying new things on camera
Very informative. Thanks gentlemen
Iv changed a million tires and still learned so many things just from this video ❤
Run across a tubeless with a stubborn to seat bead where I've used ratchet straps placed down center of tire to push sidewalls out...Rare to need it on motorcycle tire but handy tip for heavier lug ATV/lawn mower/small tractor tires.... > Used to see (even in pro shops way back when) old metal trashcan with plate at bottom & steel rod thru center...fill trashcan with gravel,rocks/brick,etc.anything heavy for weight = cobbled up tire change stand... Great video ! I like those longer tire spoons with actual handles.
Yeah loving that this is now a regular Monday thing
Awesome. Thanks Joe.
I need to come up and see The Jedi about my Ural, lol.
love this. I learn so much
Great vid! Thank you for the insight. I like to do work myself that way if it gets screwed up i'm the one to blame. Not to mention i can look at everything to have an understanding and an eye on everything. I have a shop i trust for tires and they have really good prices imho so i think until they prove me wrong i'll stick with them for my tires at least.
This guy is great. We appreciate.
Best tip I've picked up without a tire machine is using the bikes kick stand to break the bead or lay the tire under a vehicle and use an inverted scissor jack pressing between the vehicle and tire
This is great content! You and Joe are good team.
Fantastic stuff, Joe! Thank you! Well outside of what I'd be able to do in my parking spot, sadly, but excellent knowledge either way.
Joe The Jedi is an amazing fellow!
good job brother Joe! that Shinko 999 Long Hauler will never need replaced.
Eh, I'll give it till June/July....I put mine on for the key West trip last July, so if I can get 20k out of it, I'll be impressed!!
ooo I want to see you guys rebuild the carbs on the bangkok bagger. I may or may not have to rebuild mine so some insight from the mountain jedi himself will be more than welcome!
Great video, thanks guys.
Hell yeah, love to hear there will be more tech videos to come specially since it’s from the knowledge of the Mountain Man!
The cost of your tire stand and balancer is the cost of having a shop do it! Great video showing diy and the tools!
I run rear Shinko 890's on my Victory Cross Country and they've been fine. Just put my 4th one on, stepped up to a 200/55-16 over the 180/60-16. And I don't even balance them other than lining up the dots, smooth into the triple digits.
I have a super old 6ft tall slide hammer that was my grandpa's that I use to break the beads off my tires. It will give you a workout.
thank you!
I helped my Dad and uncle change a tubed tire on a CB750 when I was a teenager. It took a fair bit longer, and involved significantly more sweat and indelicate language, as I recall.
Great video,i've been doing my own for a good while
Joe the mountain jedi is a certified badass! Awesome that you're showcasing his skills and personality, fuckin rad.
Thanks,enjoyed the video!
Good video!
I've done lots of dirt bike and dual sport tires, but have never tried a tubeless bike tire yet. Back tires getting getting a little skinny on my Voyager though, so I'm tossing around giving it a crack.
Im learning!!!
Nice series Jeep them coming. How about belt adjustment and alignment.
If you' guys could do episode on going thru a clutch inspection and how to adjust a clutch. I would love an episode about clutch work
Yup, this is great content! Keep it going please! Another job that can be off putting for us mortals is adjusting the clutch…
Fantastic!
When is it best to opt for an extended 90-degree valve stem?
Every time, imo, I have that on my rear but not on the front and it pisses me off every time I go to check and/or put air in the front. Getting around discs and all that. I'd do it everytime.
for sure all mine get them
Personally, I do it whenever it's "practical"... On Harley wheels, most of the time, the stem is either on the side of the wheel, or close enough to the brake calipers that it's either sticking out at a dorky angle, or you have to turn it so much to clear the brake package that it's not really as useful as you'd think!!( Not to mention being more prone to getting knocked off by road debris!!)
@joeyother9969 yeah on a bagger it's almost a must ,at least on the rear wheel.
I have used shinko 777HD on my road king and they seemed great
