Don't know if this is the right category for my question but it's close to tyres. Anyone got tips on a good tyre changer and static balancer? Preferably not too expensive and should be able to change both on my 1098 and 690 enduro. I change maybe 1-2 tyres a year but I'm far from a dealer and they charge way to much for the tyre. I been looking at rabaconda and no-mar tire changer but they are pretty pricey for 1-2 tyres per year. Anyone tried this one and does it work for the 1098? Thinking about the mounting shaft. https://www.motea.com/en/motorcycle...NeRexrQ-UXe0yuOoMQ9G60WKumkxTOABoCl8wQAvD_BwE Or this with the Ducati adapter, hence the question about the mounting shaft. http://www.olmaxmotors.pl/index.php/angebote/starterpaket-full-starter-pack
I have a Max2H Evo tyre changing rig as well as their static balancer and the Ducati adapters for the balancer. Looks not dissimilar to the ones you've linked to. A solid product that will eventually pay for itself. Not as easy as getting someone else to do it using powered tyre changing equipment. However, it's satisfying and I can just get tyres delivered and fit them at my convenience. I like being self sufficient
Thanks for the tip on the Max2H, gives me confidence in that the others will work. I'll think i go with the starter kit + Ducati adapter from the second link. The price is pretty fair. 1+ on self sufficient. Coming from working on cars for several years i find motorcycle dealers very difficult to deal with. I already have the compressor
I omitted to mention that part. Yes, the OP will need one. Doesn't need to be anything fancy, a handheld one wont do though. I've got a mains, briefcase type one I bought from Aldi. Does the job of seating and popping the tyre onto the rim. Cost something like £30 IIRC, bought it years ago. No good for spraying or probably even air tools but for this job it's good enough.
