minus-squarepensa@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up11·1 year agoWhen changing a motorcycle tire it helps to do a nice burnout before starting. It heats up the tire making it easier to pry off with tire irons.
minus-squarepensa@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 year agoYes, but usually not so far that the metal is showing. I learned from this video years ago. Having done tire changes with and without the luxury of a burnout. It is noticeably easier after the burnout. edit: forgot to link the video. https://youtu.be/dAKIuSjPXxA?t=40
minus-squareKevin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoMaybe marginally. It’s pretty easy already to take an old tire off, especially on the machine. Putting a new tire on is always the hard part imo. I usually let mine sit in the sun for an hour before mounting it.
