Notice how its Tire and not tires, yeah there is no way i will be able to get a maxxis c6001 on by myself with my ghetto tire irons. I did the front tire as my first attempt to ever really change a dirt bike tire. It took me about an hour but i prob could of got it done a lot quicker if i actually would of thought about what i was doing instead of just going at it. At first i couldnt get the tire to come off the rim then i stood back took a deep breath and realized what i was doing wrong and first try it basically came right off. I had the tire irons to close to eachother and wasnt getting proper leverage. Then the only other holdup was getting the tubes air nozzle thing though the rim. Besides is being 90 degrees it wasnt all that bad, at least i can do my front tire from here on out and the dealer can have $20 to change my rear.
I think i read almost every tire changing post on here and i guess it helped out a lot but you really just need to figure it out on your own to really understand it, but to everyone who has ever put their 2 cents in on changing a tire thanks :cool:
