Man I wanna see the lighter fluid trick!!!


Simple and effective! Nice job!

 

Alex, I'd reccomend you don't put any part of your body under the swing of the jack handle if you like how your face is arranged, if the jack gave out that could break a bone.

 

Nice. Thats how we do the dirtbike tires. Little smaller though lol.

EDIT: yeah wheres the lighter fliud trick video? lol

 

You forgot one IMPORTANT tool!

mounting tires with lighter fluid!!

i tried this and it didnt work.. im gonna try the rope trick tommorow..

 

I've done the lighter fluid trick on a wheelbarrow tire but never been sucessful on a truck it just lights my tire on fire

 

Yeah i've done many dirt bike tires, this is actually easier imo, i just throw my dirt bike tires in the oven for 5 mins

 

Awesome! ha ha So how you gonna set the bead???? are you going with the lighter fluid trick or a ratchet strap tighter than crap in the middle of the tire and a shot of air from the compressor. We want video of that too.

Nice work we like it when its free

 

I wouldnt have thought of polishing the system if it werent for your help. I used the ratchet strap, the starter fluid hasn't worked for me on a truck tire

 

Wow i just realized it was 3 mins, thats a record. My time on the last tire was 5

 

I just saw guys using starting fluid on utube be careful man

 

Haha i tried it but i got more on the outside of the tire than on the inside so it just lit on fire :/

 

good to see someone has documented that mounting tires (putting rim into tire) is not rocket science. setting the bead is not that hard, you can just pick up the freshly mounted tire and slam it down on the tread and start to fill with air and pop! it is on there.
good video.

 

Yes dirtbike tires are a pita. The worst one I ever did was for my XR650r it was an enduro tire with a really hard compound. I was trying to get it to last more than a month. That bike eats tires. lol. But definetly the most fun bike I've ridden. Damn thing would pull the front end up in 3rd.

 

Nice vid! good job

 

Great vid.
I must say that the best part was the little game of fetch that goes on intermittantly.

 

good job man... that was pretty fast!

even had time to throw the stick for your dog lol...

 

Yeah i had a beefed yz 125 that would pull the front end up into 3rd if you werent ready for it, would do 6th if you pulled on it a bit gotta love the fmf gold series (and the numerous other parts). I really wish i didnt sell that thing. but yeah being over that much power is as fun as it gets

 

Hah yeah she's at my feet 24/7 with the toy
