teeter
Frank Zappa the 6th
*mostly
So, I saw this post on ADV Rider by a user named Poolside a couple years ago and decided to finally try it this weekend. I run Pilot Road 2's and all tire/wheel combos are different, but I expect it should work with all FZ6 mounts. Wow.. just wow. The tire just pops on with a slight kick.
I cinched the up with 8 lashing straps making sure the beads were touching all the way around
I sprayed one side down with WD40, placed it on the rim and simply pushed it in place.
Outstanding little trick.
Removal of the old tire still takes tire irons (unless you want to cut it off), but this still really cuts some time and sweat out of tire day.
I'll post my bead breaker set up as well in case anybody that stumbled upon this needs some ideas..
I made an open-back ramp for my truck:
And placed the wheel on a frame to keep the sprocket/rotors of the ground..
And this is the full setup..
