The manual has the idea of using your leg and hand to refit the tyre but I could not get it to work at all....but putting a luggage strap around the tyre worked a treat.

Just dont inflate the tyre fully while the strap is on or you cannot remove the strap and remember to get the tyre facing the correct direction for spin. I did not so now I get to practice removing it all again and reinstalling it.

Also remember you motorcycle does not have car valves, it has special motorcycle valves so you will have to buy those instead of the easy to get car wheel valves.

Well, I managed to get the tube on and it was all beautiful the next morning no leaks. Then I tried to put the whell back on and I realised I had put the wheel on in wrong rotation orientation so I removed it and now have damaged the bead so it wont seal.

Has anybody put a inner tube on these tyres? the manual says tubeless but I dont know what makes the difference. Or am I just up to buy another tyre if I can find one up here.

What an annoying day. It looked so nice at the beginning and turned to shit before the sun went down.
