Since I'm mainly on forest service roads and trails with my DR650 and the KLX300, every time I have to change worn tires--or if the flat becomes noticeable in the garage--I use only my trail tools to make the change so that I don't forget how. And then when it does happen "out there", I can feel better about getting back to civilization. Sometimes you get out there and realize there's no cell service and no one is likely to be coming by anytime soon. From removing the wheel, breaking the bead with tire irons, remove tire, new nube, tire back on the rim and then installed I'm at about 1.5 to 2 hours which is acceptable. Would like to get that down to 1 hour. But with the CB1100 that Rabaconda I have sure is the bees-knees.
