After 15,000 kilometers, it is time to change the tires.
I decided to change Bridgestone Battlax T30 to Metzeler Roadtec 01.
Noticeable improvement when cornering.
Enjoy.

Great video, thanks very much. Just changing the tyres on my 2019 Versys 1000 and though i've removed wheels many times it's the first time on this one and it's nice to just have a heads up before starting on the work. Really good and clear - though I do get someone else to fit the tyres! Thanks from the UK.

Thank you so much for this video. I have a 2017 Versys 1000 Base model and just change the tires today. Love the bike and your videos are extremely helpful.

Hi. Your videos are great. I'm crap at mechanics but decided I was going to buy a motorbike; a 650 versys. You've inspired me to do things on my bike myself with your videos.. The versys has no haynes manual so these videos are invaluable..

great tires, the best I have ever had. They stick to the road as if they were glued, both on dry and wet. The only problem with these tires is that they are noisy when cornering. my next tires will be from Metzeler for sure.

@MotoAndy 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks. I usually ride on dry so, apart from a little dust, the moto is not very dirty so it is enough to wash it once in a while. I usually use regular car shampoo and chain cleaner to wash rear wheel grease and other parts that are around. When it gets warmer I'll do vid about that.

Hey Andy, don't suppose you can remember what size that Hex bit for the main front axle is can you ? Can't see any reference in the manuals and its driving me nuts (sorry for the pun) . Looks like about 23 or 24 ish on my 2018......but no doubt, same as yours. Cheers Paul

The only thing doing your own tyre changes is ballencing???? I brought.... Old stock brand new V 1000.... New. Put on front fender extender, to keep crap off the headers, radiator. And had givi engine guards put on. What screen you put on? New Zealand

What are those red dots? Don’t see them on my new tires.

@MotoAndy 2 ай бұрын

It is possible that other tire brands have different dot colors. The dot should be in the same place as the valve in the rim, it marks the lightest place of the tire, and when we place the valve in the same place, we equalize the weight of the tire, i.e. automatic balancing (in a sense)

You should pump the forks then tighten the bottom pinch bolts

@MotoAndy 4 жыл бұрын

why?

@PremierNZ-qb5zd 4 жыл бұрын

The recommended practice is to tighten the pinch bolts on the left side first then pump the forks then tighten the right hand pinch bolts. This ensures the axle is seated in the bottom of the fork leg thereby maintaining correct alignment.

@MotoAndy 4 жыл бұрын

Yes but the pinch bolt is only one, right side of the bike
