I use Pennsoil Marine Grease… Extremely water proof. If you use rubber
valve stems it is important to replace with the tires. The ones which you
bought are great. I use those on my bikes and try to get people to at least
let me install them on the front wheel. You do not need to replace ever.
However, you should consider replacing the shrader valve inside with each
tire change.

When you were getting ready to put the new tire on the wheel, you took a
sponge brush and coated the bead area of the tire with a liquid… what was
that liquid and why?

MikeE RideWNC says:

Not having a GSXR to look at, I would say yes for most bikes. However,
Suzuki oftem make their bike interchangable so this could be an exception.
When I pull apart a bike I lay out the parts as they come off. Right side
is placed on the ride side of the bike and left side parts go on the left
side of the bike. It make assenble simple.

does it matter which side the those spacers go on?

also, great video

Awesome!!! Thanks for the info and quick response. I have been working
toward doing more and more of my own work. I hadn’t been doing my own tires
because of the extra tools needed, so I just had my tires done at a shop.
And, the bike came back with damage to the handlebars. So, I am just going
to start doing everything, even when I have to invest in new tools. Anyway,
I just wanted to see what that stuff was. Thanks again!

I’d give you $20

MikeE RideWNC says:

Shops don’t understand that when we are paying then so much money, we
expect our stuff back unharmed. Don’t buy a cheap Harbor Freight changer. I
have a lot of people who come here who have damaged wheels using one. I use
Coats. No-Mar is probably the most affordable safe solutions for home users.

rwiersema says:

ok cool, thanks for the quick response 🙂

Quick question, do you prefer marine grease over copper grease, and if so,
why?

Great video, thanks.

I use patchboy dot com.

Very informative video for the first-timer (me)! 2 questions: what kind of
grease did you put on the axle and do you need to replace the valve stems
every time you change the tire? I just paid $29 for those Bridgeport 90
degree valve stems and I’m hoping I won’t have to buy a new set each time I
change a tire.

MikeE RideWNC says:

Tire Lube. It is like soap which doesn’t leave residue. It allows the tire
to slide on to the wheel easier with the bar.. Also when you air up the
tire to seat the bead, it lets the tire move freely to the lip of the
wheel. I buy it from patchboy dot com

MikeE RideWNC says:

Clearly I prefer Marine Grease… First reason is the six years I spent in
the Marine Corps. And second because I bought a pint of Marine grease ten
years ago and I still have not worked my way through it. I change about
100-150 tires per year and using a light coat of grease on each axle. Most
riders will not ever notice the difference. If you are cleaning the axle
and replacing the grease every 3-5K miles, there is not really a need for a
high grade grease.

MikeE RideWNC says:

Dealers suck! I charge 10.00 on or offthe bike.
