How do you change a minibike tire?

[Reiko1078]

I have a doodle bug that needs new tires how do you get the old tires off the rim? Do the tires have tubes? How do you get it all back on?

Dumb question probably but I've never done it before
thanks

no tubes on the stock DB wheels.

start watching some youtube videos or just take it to a motorcycle shop, they may be able to do it for you. it can be a real pain in the ass without the right tools or knowing what you're doing. if the tire is totally done i'd just cut it off.

start by searching the forums.

I can give some great tips on changing a tire with a 2 or 3 piece wheel I just did it a few min.s ago but I think I would take a 1 piece wheel to a tire shop

Invest in a good pair of tire irons to start! screw drivers and pry bars will mung up the beads, and cause punctures in your forehead when they come flying out at you! So good advice would be to have it done untill you get the right tools. While your getting it done, have the person doing it show you how it's done.
