Y'know what, we've all been there! Credit to you for uploading the video with your mistakes and frustrations and explaining them. This is what it's all about.

Thanks for the ‘real world’ video. Things don’t always go a smoothly as we hope. A lot of videos probably have mistakes edited out to save face. You did your best, you learned a lot, you taught a lot and you eventually got it done right. Much respect to you for being real. No need to apologize for anything. Thumbs up from me👍

Brilliant real world review and great to see a normal guy being honest and showing his frustrations. We need more videos like this on KZfaq 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧👏🏻

Couple things: 1. Road 6 is a great all round street tire and I'd be running that on a lot of different bikes, especially an ADV bike that was used primarily for road touring and twisty riding. 2. S22 in FL with it's lack of twisty is useless unless you're going to the track regularly. 3. S22 is amazingly more grippy than a road 6 in dry conditions cornering and I don't know where you'd have felt the tire being loose and squirrelly considering it's rated for upper intermediate track riding conditions where a road 6 or sport tourer will surely lose grip + your tires have wide chicken strips on them(it's FL afterall)so haven't even been fully used + a lot of highway pulls will def get an S22 worn out in 3k or less down the middle. In Cali we have endless miles of smooth twisty of all types and nobody on a sport bike or sport naked out here who is riding hard on them complains about the sport tires like riders in flatlands do due to the less mileage. The reason the bike is equipped with the S22 is because it's a performance bike capable of being way leaned over at a high pace where the S22 shines-- it isn't a cheap or crap "stock tire" it's just a different purpose.

Subbed. Absolutely PHENOMENAL that you posted the vid, “learning moments” and all.

I always enjoy your videos and I also learn stuff! Thank you bro!

Great video. One of my favorites for many reasons but after watching every second……I had to hit the sub button!

Keeping it real… making mistakes is part of it… Loved it. Made me subscribe.❤

In the spirit of sharing info to make things easier next time for you and anyone else watching this... The lock nuts don't need to be loosened to remove the chain. Once the axle is removed and wheel is dropped to the ground, roll the wheel forward. This will allow for the chain to be removed from the sprocket without having to reset the chain slack when the wheel is re-installed. Also, if you take a broken-down cardboard box and fold it over a few times you can place it under the rear wheel to easily align the wheel hub with the swingarm. This way you don't need to hoist the wheel while simultaneously aligning the wheel and the swingarm when attempting to insert the axle.

nice video man! I went from S22s to Road 5s on my fz6r and I fell in love, by far the best tires I ever had

Thanks man 👍 good video helps us not make the same mistakes

Full credit to you. You will be better the next time you do a similar job. It is a good learning experience. You never fully learn everything there is to know in relation to motorcycles. It is a never ending learning curve.

Those tires are so awesome looking! I didn't hear it in the video but did you go with a wider rear tire (like a 190 or 200) or did you stay with the stock 180?

Great video, subbed, I like to see a guy showing the real world mistakes we all make as we learn, nothing worse than some over edited rubbish that helps no one, you'll love the Road 6, just got a set myself. A little digital caliper is very handy for setting the chain straight.

Just Subbed... Fellow MT-09 owner

No worries, we've all missed things, not a one of us is perfect. I'm probably going to be putting Road 6s on my 2021 MT-09 this winter, when it's too cold to enjoy the ride.

I say kudos to you for leaving the video as is… Warts and all. We've all been there. I'm 55 and I've done it a lot in the past and still do it and I'm sure I will until the day I die… So good for you and thank you for the video. I watched the whole thing.

Great video. I have a set of Road 6s ready to go on my 21 MT09 SP too. I'm right around 3000 miles on my S22s and they are getting pretty worn. Only thing I would check on is the chain tightness. Looks a little too tight to me but I don't know how it settled once everything was tightened up. I ran a chain tight like that on my old FZ6 and it cost me an engine after it split the case when the suspension compressed on a big dip in the road. Just a heads up!

Got 6500mi on Road 6's on my 22' 09SP and they're great. I've done a ton of riding in the rain and dry and the tires are planted. Approaching 10500mi on the MT so far this season.

Real World video, briliant

We’ve all been there! I plan on powder coating mine after I get a few scratches. The paint is very thin on these wheels!

I pulled the wheels, having Road 6s mounted, should have the wheels back tomorrow. The temperature when I was doing the work, around 60 degrees. I sure that made my work a lot easier than when you did yours!

Always a pain in the arse getting the rear wheel in the swinging arm. How was the handling on the road 6s compared to the S22 ? Do they have a quick turn in on the road 6s ?

I place tape on the rim where the rachet might touch the rim. Red Green's duck tape is soooo goood!!

How are you liking those new Road 6s by now? I might put some on my 17 FJ09

Great real Video not sure if they are as bad over your end but i noticed my Pins for front and rear Wheels was dry these should be greased a little every time you change tyres this helps with many things also idea to do same for the sliders too by sound of it... still great video

I always used the road 4 and 5 on my r1. I felt no difference compared to the "high peeformance" tires but these would last 3x as long. Can't beat michelin. And at the end of their life they are still round. Really impressive tire.

What do you think was the reason of the bolts seizing up on the front slider? Any way to avoid it? Anti seize grease maybe?

good night, a question, I just got the same bike! I would like to know on average how many miles did the S22 tires last you?

Great video! Keep them coming! Love your work on the MT09, looking sexy!!!!! Ride safe!

I've got a few hundred miles on my road 6's and so far has been great. Keep up the good work on the videos. #smallchannellove #fannypacklyfe #getwaisted

nice video... love videos with mistakes in them as we all make them!!!

Should get 10,000 miles + out of those mate 👍🏻

No reason to loosen the chain adjuster, simply loosen the axle nut & pull the axle out.

Florida? You need to trade that triple in for a scooter.

Didn’t grease the axles. And I’m sure you didn’t do the proper procedure for the front end. Chains probably too tight. You should take it to a shop dude.

Wrong position pleas set the back caliper in the slide to the svingarm!

Funny how ppl don't know anything about motorcycle mechanics and then decide to make a video about it.

That thing u called rubber is cupling rubber........

The caliper back are in rong position
