How to fix a flat tyre by yourself

I'll show you the most effective way to suspend your bike on the side stand and the most efficient way to fix a flat tyre by yourself.

We're using the 2022 Tenere 700 for this feature, as it is a good representation of an Adventure motorcycle, which like most modern bikes does not have a centre stand.

Hello from Vietnam.
I'm a dirt bike tour-guide, used to take people in adventure tours around Vietnam and Laos. Your channel is really helping me doing my good job everyday.
Many thanks Adam.

My memories: watching Motonomad for the first time, long time ago, Mongolian adventure... Adam using dry grass and stuff he found around to fill the tire, managing to get to the next place where he got the spare inner tube.... Never rode a motorbike in that moment.
FFW 10ish years... I am riding those iron ponies with that same smile I had on my first day when I got 125cc vintage honda...

Thanks for the inspiration. And thanks for being honest non-gimmicky human. Respect to that!

When we first started out on our adventure, I didn't know how to change a tire. I spent hours trying to find a video that really broke everything down for someone who just didn't have a clue (me). This is the first video I have seen where you explained the small things in detail. Good on you!

I’ve been riding for years but finally determined to take care of my own bike more and more. This is useful!

Great and quite informative!
Please do one for the rear wheel as well 👍

[bangerseamen]

One of the best how 2s I’ve seen mate. 42 years of riding and still learning 👍👍👍

Love that "leaning to a tree" technique, lots of trees over here. But never thought of that. But I have only got punctures on the trail 2 times since the moped age. Great riding Adam and thanks for the tips and tricks!

I am glad I watched this because it has been awhile since I had to do it in alone the wild. The last time I did, I put a hole in my spare tube by putting it in with no air in it. I discovered my error when I had the tire back on the wheel and aired up the new tube which didn't hold air because I had unknowingly punctured it myself while putting the tire back on the wheel. Colorful language followed. I removed the tube I had just installed and fortunately I was able to patch the tube with a patch kit. I carried a spare tube and a patch kit because the patch kit is light and fit with the other tools I already carry and also my Dad told me to. I replaced the patched tube and rider karma was with me. The tube now held air. The tube that started the day in the tire was too far gone to patch. I took it with me and hung it on a nail in the garage for a season or two. A nod to self inflicted wounds.

I love your no-nonsense bush workshop. I learned a few tricks for ACT/TET Romania in August, thanks a lot. Günter/Nürnberg

Thanks for the video. Surprising how many people can’t do this tire repair when off-road. It can be a bit more tricky if using 19” road wheels. 3 irons can help. I’d love to see your solution for a rear tire.

Best tyre change video I’ve seen that was super easy to follow!

[badasheli]

Please make a rear wheel Thank you very much, great

[universeexplorer]

Great video and great channel. Only just found you but enjoying the content.
Another request here for a video on a rear wheel change and "bush" chain alignment which is something I always worry too much about getting bang on lined up!
Love the chilled out "take your time" attitude to getting the job done!

[lukefish]

Much appreciated Adam!
You give top notch info and advice that comes from your incredible experience very few people can match.
I’m just getting into adventure riding and trying to soak up all the knowledge I can from the best. 🙏🏽
Keep it coming buddy!

I'm not sure what I admire more: your Aussie accent or your motowisdom . I think it's the motorwisdom. And the always spot on videography.

[alozborne]

You sure make that look easy! I had a hell of a time, in the comfort of my own garage, getting a Dunlop Trailmax Mission (TMM) front tire on with just spoons. Never got there with the rear tire. Stiffest tire I have ever seen, just ridiculous! They last forever and they are a good 50/50 tire, but I won't be buying them again. I have zero confidence that I could do a repair like you did, on the trail, with those TMM tires.

[alexanderwagner]

Great video - can you advise what brand of tyre lever you used ?

[brandleverage]

Thank you Adam! Just did my first motorbike tire change on the T7 with no dramas.

[martincyr]

A simple and ingeniuos idea for lifting the front wheel. Thanks!
