Removing a Motorcycle Tire from the Wheel

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Drew Neilon from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in Little River. I work at Beach Customs and today I'm going to show you how to change and maintain a tire for Expert Village. Alright now I'm going to remove this spacer right here and I'm going to put this on this side of the bike because I know that when I put the tire back on this axle will go right here, the same exact spot. So I'm going to take the chain off the bike. Some bikes have belts and some have chains, which will be the same exact thing. I'm taking the chain off. And now I'm going to jack the bike up. Once the bike is jacked up, I'm going to go over on the other side and remove the brake from the frame itself. Now I'm going to remove the brake from the frame itself so I can pull the tire out. I'm going to put the brake right here. I'm going to put a rag right here over the pipes to prevent any scratching on the pipes as I lay the brake here. Now the tire is ready to be pulled out, so I have to go back around to the other side and jack the bike up higher. Now I'm going to jack the bike up and remove the tire. On this step you want to make sure that you have the bike tied strap too, to lift itself. I'm jacking the bike up so I can have enough clearance to pull the tire out. And that's how you remove the tire."
