Here are some more information for Bead Breaker Racing:
Everyone knows that a flat tire can ruin the day. Most ATV lovers can tell you that it has happened to them or to a member of their party. Knowing how to repair a flat tire on your ATV can get you out of a bad situation and knowing how to prevent one is even better. In this article we will explain how to do so.
The main cause of a flat tire is a foreign object, an inexperienced driver and improper use or care of the tire. We suggest to carry an all-purpose repair kit when going out. These are small and compact. They can be put in a storage unit of your ATV or in a backpack. You will need these tools to help you repair the flat tire. Here are the eight basic steps.
First, locate the hole on your ATV's tire. Then remove the foreign object if there is one. The object can be pulled out or pushed in, do as needed. To see if the ATV's tire leaks pump air to 10 psi in the tire then put some soapy water over the hole. Out in the woods spit will do. If bubbles are made then you have a leak and it needs to be repaired. Insert the rough reamer in the hole to clean it and heat up the rubber. After insert a new rope style plug in the insertion tool. Force the rope in the puncture hole. It needs to be very tight if it goes in easily then it is to loose and you will have a leak later. To correct this situation add a second rope in the hole. Numerous ropes can be placed in a hole but the more you put in the greater the chance that you will have a slow leak. Sometimes this is acceptable. It can get you back home. Now cut off the excess rope but keep enough to have a knobby height. You are ready to pump air back in the ATV's tire. Remember that most ATVs use between 4-8 psi. To much air will cause your ATV to slide more and not enough will increase your traction. But will also increase your risk of getting a sidewall puncture or the bead breaking loose from the rim.
Another way to repair a flat tire on an ATV that has a large sidewall tear would be to go down to your local tire shop and have them install a think sidewall patch called a boot. Use one that is strong and flexible enough to repair large sidewall puncture. Also, you will need to install an inner tube in your ATV's wheel. This will be your back-up in case the boot patch didn't hold. Don't try to save a few dollars by not putting in the boot patch because the inner tube will find its was out of the hole and break. It might cost a few dollars to do this type of repair but when it comes down to it, this is cheaper then buying a new ATV tire. Best of all it works.
Now that we know how to fix a flat tire on an ATV here are some tricks on how to prevent from getting one. We have found three ways that work. The first one is to use a liquid sealant that is placed inside the ATV's tire through the valve before it's filled with air. The liquid sealant will coat the under side of the tread as the wheel turns. The sealant will seal off any small puncture holes as they happen from the inside. This is only good for small holes.
The second trick we found is a new product. It's a foam that is placed inside the ATV's tire and when a flat occurs the foam keeps the tire in its original shape. The tire will not go flat and there is no need to stop.
Our last suggestion are the tire balls. During the mounting process of the ATV's wheels many oval shaped rubber balls get placed inside the tire. If a puncture hole happens only one chamber will loose its air pressure and the ATV's tire will keep its shape. Chambers can be changed individuality.
These three tips are strongly advised to use before a competition. Many professionals already uses these tricks. Now that you know how to fix a flat tire on your ATV and also know how to prevent one you should enjoy going out ridding you ATV. If this situation happens you'll be able to take care of it. http://www.TheScooterShowRoom.com hopes that everyone enjoys there ATV rides.
Motorcycle tyre removing
Stephen Bonnici at motopsychos.co.uk has worked as a tyre technician on all types of vehicles . Stephen Bonnici worked as a tyre break down fitter or what is now known as a mobile tyre fitter for a large tyre company.
While working as a mobile tyre fitter , Stephen Bonnici removed replaced and repaired all kinds of tyres such as plant machinery tyres,haulage trucks tyres ,cars tyres ,vans tyres ,motorcycles tyres .
Although tyre changer machines are available now to use for mobile tyre fitting they were not at the time.
Stephen Bonnici mastered the art of tyre changing just with the use of tyre levers, Stephen Bonnici raced motorcycles and always found himself changing his own motorcycle tyres.
Removing a moto x tyre from a wheel with motorcycle tyre levers.
Tools needed to do this.
1, Valve Key
2, Tyre Bead Breaker,
3, Pair of Tyre Levers,
4, Tyre Bead Soap & Brush,
5, 13mm / 14mm Spanner
6, Rubber Mallet
Moto X or Off Road tyres can be more difficult than a large tractor tyre, a tractor tyre is only difficult in the sense it is heavy and not easy to flip over and move around, where as the moto x or off road motorcycle tyre is small to handle but the tyre ply casing is very stiff.
Be patient and never force the tyre bead with the tyre levers, this will snap the bead of the motorcycle tyre.
The wheel has been removes from the motorcycle.
First loosen the tyre lock nut , take the nut up to the top of the thread but do not take right off. You will find this usually opposite the valve area.
Remove the valve nut with a spanner and the valve core with a valve key ( Valve remover), keep the valve safe !
Once all the air has gone from the tyre it is time to place the motorcycle tyre into the bead breaker, some motorcycle tyre bead breakers are pneumatic, these are great for commercial use, a manual Motorcycle Tyre Bead Breaker is all you will need .
You can see a Motorcycle Bead Breaker here by visiting this link http://www.motopsychos.co.uk/tyrebead-breaker--tyc008-14987-p.asp .
Place the head of the bead breaker on the edge of the motorcycle tyre close to the rim.
Press the Tyre Bead Breaker down so it pushes the tyre down a bit creating a small gap between the bead and the rim.
Take the pessure off and now turn the wheel slightly and repeat pushing the motorcycle tyre down into the well of the motorcycle wheel, be shore to work your way around to at least a third the way round the tyre to save on forcing the tyre down on the first go.
Repeat this on both sides of the tyre, please note that you can not push the tyre bead in at the area of the tyre bead lock, to do this you need to push the bolt on the bead lock inwards through the hole until it stops at the nut on top, this is why the nut is not taken completely off.
Now that the motocycle tyre bead is down you can soap the beads using tyre bead soap and a brush, if the motorcycle tyre is very stiff you can use the tyre bead breaker to assist with this by holding the tyre down so you are able to get the brush in where needed, add a little water to the tyre soap, this helps it to run deep inside where you may not reach.
Next, at the valve, place the two motorcycle tyre lever into the gap between tyre and the rim, almost both levers at a 12 o'clock position to you, before you start to pull down on the levers, press down with your knees opposite at the 6 o'clock position to insure the tyre in the well.
The curve on a tyre lever bends more one way so you have more leverage on one side, its good to put one lever facing the other way when first pulling the levers down lifting tyre bead over the rim, this helps you to slide one of the tyre levers out ready for you to take another bite of digging the tyre out.
Be shore to take little bite, this mean the distance from the other tyre lever that is holding the tyre up, this lever some times can be held down by jamming it under the brake disc or the sprocket if on a rear wheel.
When putting tyre levers into the tyre you must not pinch the inner tube so care is needed !
Keep going until the one side of the motorcycle tyre is off the rim, now put your fingers inside and pull the inner tube out, be careful not to snap the valve.
Now stand the motorcycle tyre up with the wheel hanging through it, wheel facing away from you, and the tyre up against your knees .
Place the two tyre levers into the top of the tyre at the 12 o'clock position, start to bend the tyre levers over then hold, this creates the space for you to soap the tyre beads, if this was a commercial tyre the wheel would pop out of the tyre, but in this case with a moto x wheel, the wheel is to light and the tyre flexes , you have to repeat the digging with the tyre lever by hooking the rim out of the tyre, when pressure is added by bending the tyre levers over, a rubber mallet can be used to tap the tyre bead off the wheel.
The motorcyce tyre should be off rim by the time you have hooked a third the way around.
When looking for motorcycle tyre levers, try to buy ones that are not thick on the ends, thick levers take up to much space and are more difficult to put into the gap between the tyre and the rim.
