Replacing tyres yourself, any tips?

Last summer I changed the tyres on my Vmax and the satisfaction from doing it yourself is very pleasing. Balancing is easy. Balancing tool very cheap and tyres have a dot on them which depending on colour/brand goes next to or opposite the valve. Have also done tubed tyres on my Z900 and XS1100 (got through a couple of pinched tubes mind).

Go for it, do it yourself, you`ll be so happy when you succeed.

Or absolutely pissed when you have three nicks in the tube and never got the tyre levers passed 10 to 2  ;D ;)

Sesman:
Oddly enough I was pissed when I did mine and it went without a hitch. Wouldn’t recommend it though.🤪

  Like K2 for some strange perverse reason I can't resist doing my own.
