DIY Tyre Changes .............

I’ve done them in my 950sm too with cast wheels.

as above I use a vice to break the bead (you need a surprisingly large vice to get over the tyre so check if your gonna buy one. Or look for a bead breaker (I might do this)

then I have a soft surface (garage floor is foam padded) stand on the tyre and keep the opposite side to your levers down in The well of the wheel to give you more “slack”

and again, good lube helps so much! Stops the tyre gripping the rim when you want it to slide over.

nice levers make it nicer like any tool, I use the KTM ones had them years.
 
Probably not as easy but I saw a video earlier of Motion Pro Bead Pro…. Two levers you put in and they pry open the bead?!
