Take off the shark nose fairing and you have an average looking cruiser.
Gotta clean up the lower fork legs and run my seal mate through but they are pretty much ready to go on. Let's hope the KDX bearing races come out easily

Anyone change their own tires?
Started doing tracks day and I was looking to save some money so I picked up the motion pro bead splitters for some Metzeler racetecs.
I got the front tire one no problem.
6 beers deep I tackled the rear tire. No problem until trying to slip that last part of the bead in. Ripped it in several places. Won't hold pressure. Wasn't going to use it but thought I'd check anyways. I just ripped the very bottom part of the bead that seats on the inner part of the rim in several places
What did I do wrong? I've ordered another $250 dollar rear coming later this week.
I did not heat the tire which I've recently learned is a good idea
any tips?
>rustifag getting shit on AGAIN
I love these episodes
>>15390024
>100 hp
>>15390083
>with race ecu 212
Would a nighthawk 750 be too big as a beginner bike? Only reason I ask is because I found one for 1000 dollars in good shape.
>>15390094
$1000 is an awful deal, and nighthawks (read: honduhs) are awful bikes. maybe if it was free it would be a good deal
>>15390083
>in cuck countries
>over 200 hp without restrictions
>>15390072
I just changed the tires last week. The rear tire was more difficult, but not impossible by any means. Be sure to lube it up, if you didn't do that, I dunno how you'd even get close. Also, as you get to the very end, it helps to push down on the opposite side of the tire, it gives you just a tiny bit more material to work with. I had a buddy to help, as well, but I could have done it alone without too much trouble.
>>15390101
you're right, the rear was a bitch compared to the front. I used windex, is there are better option?
>>15390094
It's a great starter bike, ignore rustifag. I've got a 750, it's light, easy to maneuver and fly out from under you like a sport bike. Your insurance will also be dirt cheap.
>>15390099
>Kelley blue book
>Almost 500 dollars under value
>"Honduh"
Hows that midlife crisis with your Harley going?
>>15390109
I used windex, it worked okay. They sell tire paste or you can also use soapy water. Did you press down on the tire opposite the little bit that's not in the bead? My buddy also changed his at the same time, he didn't do that, and wasn't able to get it to go in without doing that.
>>15390072
More (any) physical lube for the rubber (dish soap works alright), less social lube for your brain m8.
>>15390094
If you can balance a bicycle, have the first clue how to operate a manual transmission, and respect the power of the machine you could literally start on any bike and be fine. More powerful bikes simply demand more respect and caution from you up front.
On the flipside if you're a complete 'tard then any bike is too big for you.
>>15390130
> Did you press down on the tire opposite the little bit that's not in the bead? My buddy also changed his at the same time, he didn't do that, and wasn't able to get it to go in without doing that.
no, just tried to pry it on with the spoons which caused the rips. I'll get a press or a clamp to use for the last part.
thanks for the input.
>>15390129
rossifag doesn't have a bike
>>15390142
I just watched a bunch of youtube videos until it made sense, I'd suggest doing the same.
>>15390150
Lol no way really
>>15390142
It helps a lot to push the opposite side of the tire down so it can pull into the recessed middle bit of the tire. Tricky if you are doing it alone but it helps a lot. Also liberal use of dish soap on the inside of the tire so the iron doesn't grip the rubber
Maybe try the ziptie method also. I haven't tried it yet but heard it works pretty well.
>>15390178
recessed middle bit of the wheel I mean
>>15390094
m8 there pretty good bikes unless its an old 1980s shitbike.
So i have to ride a motorcycle that my friend just bought, a sym 250cc, im use to riding a cruiser so i there anything i need to do differently
>>15390024
The ducati desmosedici happened 10 years ago anon, I know you only started riding 3 months ago but trust me it was a big deal.
>>15390301

>>15390349
Looks like his forks are twisted.
>>15390072
I did the same thing.
If that last part doesn't want to pop over don't force it. It will take some effort but not all of your might. Lube it up all around and if it doesn't want to slip over then squeeze in on the opposite tire so it can sink to the inside of the rim and allow that last bit to move over the lip.
>>15389568
>mirrors on an ATV
>>15390072
probably the fact those tyres are 9 years old.

Use shit tons of tire lube.
Also I use the zip-tie method but still, use shit tons of tire lube.
>>15390301
A 250cc Sym? Is it an actual motorcycle or a scooter? Only 250cc Sym I know of is the T2/Symfighter. It'll behave like any other 250cc sport/naked.
This isn't bike related but I do own one so I am going to post it here anyways. I've gone more than 623 miles on my Lexus CT200H on a single tank straight from the dealer. and there is still some left in the tank.
deal w/ it
Dyna Fat Bob > Forty-Eight ?
>>15390471
that's nice. I get 100 miles/tank on my shitbike.
>>15390471
good for you, i got 300 miles miles on a tank and still had over 20% of it left when i tanked up

It really kinda sucks because I've been following this project on IG with really only Boorman's short clip of excitement to go off of. The fact that this is it is kind of disappointing
>>15390770
about 2 rear tires per year
>>15390956
Ya know i always thought the mt-07 wasnt supposed to be a road bike, it even looks better as an adventure bike.
>>15390948
thousand miles is easy m8
my last 3 vacations were 1100, 1300 and 600 miles, the last one almost all offroad and trail on a dirtbike too
>>15390994
so they act like 1000 miles is a huge journey?
thats not even crossing 2 states where i live.
>>15390994
Well yeah, but do I want to watch 6 newbie riders in what they themselves are calling a "Faith Based Adventure Film"?
I'm not saying I'm not a newbie rider, either. I wouldn't watch it if it was me in it. I'd be so boring to watch
>>15389598
Many actually look really nice, it's the accessories and fairings riders put on them that makes them look shit.
>>15391011
