Minimalist Tubeless Motorcycle Tire Change Part II


Manual Tire Changing. In this video the point is made that you can get the bead to seat using a small pump or tankless air compressor -- it's just a matter of enough air pressure, often less than the final recommended running pressure. It is still prudent to find a place to change your tires in proximity to a high volume air compressor (with a tank) that can give you a good initial "puff" of air to help create a seal. There are some rear tire and rim combinations where it may be difficult to get the tire to begin to hold air with a small output pump, even after bouncing the wheel and/or strapping the circumference to initiate a seal.

2011 DUCATI 848 EVO Motorcycle Overview


Full Review: http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/ducati/2011-ducati-848-evo-review-90076.html

It's already 17 years since the first small-bore Ducati 4-valve superbike, the 748, broke cover -- the same year as the iconic 916, in 1994. The 748 played a background second fiddle to the beloved 916 series until the 749 emerged in 2003.
