How do you change a motorcycle tire?
To change a motorcycle tire, you will need:
- A motorcycle lift or jack stands to lift the bike off the ground.
- A drift to coax out the axle and loosen it as well as loosening pinch bolts at the bottom of most forked legs.
- Remove both brake calipers to remove the wheel.
- Deflate the tire by removing the valve core with a valve core tool.
- Remove all air and break the tire's bead, or seal, to remove it from the rim. Using a bead breaker will be the quickest way, however, you can use a hammer and go around the tire on both sides as well to break the bead.
- Pull the tire off the wheel. You may need a clamp to hold the wheel. Remember to keep the brake rotor side up to avoid putting too much pressure on it. Tire lube, as well as dedicated tire spoons, will help pull the tire off much easier.
- Inspect your wheel and replace your valve stem.
- Find the directional arrows on the sidewall and check to make sure the new tire is relative to the wheel.
- Use tire lube generously on the new tire bead. Install the new tire with your tire spoons to make sure the bead of the new tire goes over the rim lip.
- Once the tire is on and mounted properly, seat the beads. Remove the valve core from the new stem so you can inflate it faster.
- Use a large air compressor to blow the bead onto the wheel.
- With the bead set, replace the valve core and adjust the inflation to the correct pressure.
- Reinstall your wheel.
