I remember watching your videos when i was 15-16 years old. Now im almost 23 i still think you are so underrated, u should have much more subs and views.

Been changing street bike tires for almost 50 yrs. I've had a NoMar classic for 6-7 yrs, and change ~10 tires a year. A few pointers to help you out: > lube each wheel side at the rim edge BEFORE breaking the bead. "Pumping" the bead breaker helps lube seep into the bead. > use a strap around a wheel spoke and the changer to prevent tire rotation. The owner of NoMar doesn't believe this is needed - he is wrong (I've known him since before NoMar existed) > the yellow thing and wood block are not needed for demount. > get a better rim protector that snaps onto the rim. It is typical to need a tire iron to get the 1st bead over the demount tip. Lever the bead away, and use other hand to push opposite bead into the drop center, then grab the bar and insert the demount tip. > lift the tire where the demount tip is and rotate the bar to get started. Once a small part of the bead is over the rim, no need to hold it up. > get a nylon tire bead clamp drop center tool ($10 amazon). Mounting: > push the bead down by hand, then insert the drop center tool. > insert the mount bar head > insert the yellow thing, push ~90 deg or so, then insert wood block behind it to keep in place > rotate mount bar. You show you know to keep pushing the bead into the drop center I think you will find a tire change goes much easier with these tips. The only time a tire tool is needed is for demount, and usually only the top bead. Sometimes I have to use an iron iron to get the lower bead onto the demount tip with rear tires. Good luck!

With that wheel use the dog and cam blocks they work Mitch better

This exactly represents my experience with ours. 20 tires later it goes better but yeah I still don’t do it in 2 minutes like many videos seem to show.

Dirt bike tv has Great vids on The topic. IMO The best tire changing vids ive come a cross

I actually am in the market for a tire changer. Thanks for the vid. You rock

Glad it's helpful! I should have probably mentioned in the video that this one has a pretty sturdy center bar and it has an adapter on the end to size the bar down and let it fit smaller bearings and such. Those are good things for scooter wheels that won't fit the center post on a lot of changers.

I have the same tire changer. I think you did not have enough lube (I use the paste AND the spray), tires were too cold and the posi clamps were not tight enough. Yes, takes a lot force to keep those wheels from rotating

Thank you. I may have to buy one of these, I spent all this week struggling with a stubborn back tire bead.

The tough tires and wheels without a good drop center can make it a miserable experience, even if you're used to tires. If you change many, think about this one. If you don't do it much, there's always the option to pay a pro with a tire machine when you need it.

Looked like a hard job, will stay away from that tire changer. Thanks for posting.

If you're looking for alternatives, just keep in mind what you want to do. If you do scooter wheels and tires, then it's important to have a strong center post because mast bars are not going to fit through a lot of scooter wheels without removing the wheel bearings and still may not fit the ones with axle splines for the rear. This thing does have a good strong center post. It uses a small adapter on the end to go into smaller bearings and that sort of thing could probably be pretty easily done to center bars on other changers. My other thought was to come up with something to use a duckhead mount/dismount tool, but by the time I could make something or modify a cheaper changer, it made more sense to me to just get this.

Hi!

Ps LONG CASE WATER COOLED SYSTEM ARE NOT CHEAP SO IT'S BEETER GETTING SYM 2 STROKE IF YOU CAN FIND ONE

How about getting a longer conrod with a Aliminum spacer for more compression timing may need to be altered???

@49ccscoot

Conrod length can affect timing requirements. If you download the ignition manual here, you can see how they change timing based on conrod length and stroke : stage6-racing.com/en/download/

Oh man, this reminds me I gotta change the tires on my ruckus. That stretched rear tire is not gonna be fun 😮‍💨

Great video🥳 maybe you can make a video about balancing the motorcycle wheels also🙏🇳🇴

@@49ccscoot Well, everything is still ahead. By the way, try to make the ignition earlier by washing down the clutch, on which there is a hall sensor of 2-3 millimeters. This gives a noticeable increase in power. the main thing is not to overdo it

Your difficulty with the rear tire install looks like you either did not put any lube on the drop center or did not put enough lube on the drop center. I had the same issue with my tires until I followed the No-Marr instructions and videos more accurately and lubed the drop center of the wheel with sufficient lube. Also to help keep the already installed part of the bead down below the drop center there are plastic items you can purchase called Bead Clamp Drop Center Tool that help make installing the tires easier. I have used Coats and Harbor Freight Motorcycle changers and if I had to pick from my experiences again, I would spend the money for the No-Marr again. I had to modify the Harbor Freight unit a lot in order to do my motorcycle tires and once the Motorcycle optional unit is bolted on top of the Tire Changer, the assembly is so high that removing and mounting tires is difficult because I couldn't get enough leverage on the mount/demount bar. I am 5' 8" tall and 160 pounds. I found that Dunlop tires were the most difficult to work with compared to Michelin, Continental and Metzler. Those were the brand tires I changed the most. I have also used a variety of power tire changers and for my home shop I am very happy with the No-Marr manual changer. Some of my auto mechanic friends hate doing wide automotive performance tires as found on the rear of Corvettes, with powered changing machines, yet if I follow the No-Marr directions, especially the "lube the drop center" . . . mounting even a 305/40R18 on an 18" by 11" wheel is not very difficult, easier even than your installing the rear tire on this video. My pick up truck tires are a breeze because the side wall is tall and the rubber flexes much more. Lastly, you shouldn't need to use the Yellow Thing when dismounting the tires.

Hmmm, tough decision. The Rabaconda is awfully expensive. How hard was it to seat those threads into your concrete floor? Also will No Mar handle quad tires? Thanks! Great video!

The anchors weren't the easiest job, but not terrible. You'll need a masonry bit and a hammer drill. I had a problem with the drill walking and making a larger hole at the top on the first one. Then I used the base of the NoMar while I drilled and that made nice holes by keeping it from moving during drilling. I've only done the tires shown and smaller scooter tires, but this is what their site says; "Use for street bikes, dirt bikes, ATV, Side-by-Sides, trailers and more!".

condensed version "I paid $500 and STILL had to use tire irons and STILL scratched my rim" hmmm....I am trying to decide on this or the rabaconda streetbike set up? Which is more money....and there is also the No Mar Classic?? again more money

My wheels were scratched and losing paint from past changes and salt water. That part you should be fine with.

why did not choose the rabaconda? price?

@49ccscoot

That was what pretty much immediately eliminated it for me.

The black plastic wheel rim holders are next to impossible to use. One person cannot push the wheel down hard enough to get the rim under the edge and keep it there while trying to get the rim trapped under the other two. Tire sidewall is too stiff to get the wheel down far enough to trap.
