Mounting and balancing tires for the first time. This is a great opportunity to get deep cleaning in and around the swing arm, something no motorcycle shop will do for you.

I just got a No-Mar tire changer a few months ago, it was life changing. Less than an hr to do 2 tires, and don’t have to spend $80 and wait for the local dealer to do it.

Yeah, I just did another post saying what a pain in the ass it is to do it with tire irons

Not figuratively, a literal pain in the ass.

No thanks. I’ll pay someone else. I hate tires.

Its basically a rod that goes through your wheel and sits on top of good bearings. It’s a simple setup but it allows you to find the heavy spot on a wheel.

Here’s a link for something like mine (I got mine at harbor freight)
