It would help to have tire tools, as big screw drivers are a bit difficult to use on larger tires of larger bikes without srewing up something, like, the bead, the rim, or a tube if you are using a tube type. I don't know what Dennis would say, but I would torque the nuts back on when complete. I have always done my own tires, on both my bicycles and my motorcycles. Stanley

Only one shop within 30 miles that has a machine to remove rubber from rim alone then install without probable damage to the wheel $15.00. Shop says no real reason to balance but we will verify prior to putting back on bike. 1984 650SC.
