How To: Change Yamaha Tracer / FJ-09 Rear Tire

[YouMotorcycle]

Complete Guide With Rabaconda and Balancer

Hey guys,

I've created a complete video walkthrough of how to change the rear tire on the Yamaha Tracer/FJ-09 including:

1. How to remove the rear wheel
2. How to remove the old tire from the wheel
3. How to mount the new tire on the wheel
4. How to balance the new tire and wheel
5. How to reinstall everything back on your Yamaha motorcycle

As far as I understand this will also apply to all other CP3-based motorcycles like the XSR900, MT09, FZ09, etc.

I used the Rabaconda Street Bike Tire Changer for part of this, a Black Widow Pro wheel balancer, and some other small generic tools:

I've also put time stamps along the video timeline so if there's any part that doesn't apply to you (for example, not interested in the Rabaconda, or don't need me to show you how to balance a wheel), you'll be able to just skip ahead.

I think this is pretty solid, and both as concise as possible, but also very complete... however, it's my first time working on the FJ-09, so if I did goof up anything along the way, please let me know.

Thanks, and ride safe, but have fun!
