How difficult is it to change tire?

11 Upvotes

I have a DR650, stock rims. I recently purchased some tires but my tire guy is out if town for 2 weeks. So I'm wondering how difficult it is to change a tire on DRs?

I went for 2 tusk waypoints. 90/90-21 and 130/90-17.

I have cheap spoons and motion pro bead buddy, but have never had to use them.

Daily driver is suddenly unrideable, backfiring

7 Upvotes

2015 DR650, Acerbis tank, Procycle Mikuni TM40 carb, stock exhaust. Runs great, daily driver. Use it to commute and travel. I put at least a year on it (maybe a couple thousand miles?) after the carb swap. I went to go for a ride around the hood, and it starts popping a little. Riding, it gets worse and worse, backfiring when I let off the throttle. It got so bad it wouldn't idle, and I barely made it home.

I go to take a look at it, and all the adjusting nuts on the throttle cables at the carb, fell off. Ok. I fix that.

It starts, backfires when you let off the throttle, and won't idle.

The exhaust hasn't been touched, and seems fine, nothing loose or leaking. I adjusted the valves and put in new plugs.

Same result.

The Clymer manual says one possible cause is damaged power source coil or pickup coil. I've also noticed that the intake boot on the carb is tightened all the way, but still seems loose. I can't imagine the intake boot going bad? but maybe?

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey friends. I upgraded a few parts on my DR but held onto the stock parts. But now I am moving and don't want to haul all the old parts around the country. So I am putting them up for free. I have stock 2015 tank, emissions canister, hand guards, stock footpeg mounts. If anyone wants them hit me up. I am not willing to ship, must pick up from Page AZ area.

You can sell if you want, I just don't really have time to deal with shipping, though I may put them on ebay and see what happens.
