T1A50 London Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi Guys I've got a Yamaha DT125R (2006 reg), has around 10.000 miles and I believe it still has the original tyres. The back tyre needs to be replaced really soon. The front tyre is still in very good condition (original tyre) I commute to work on the bike every day. All the riding is done within London mostly. Any recommendations and what prices should I be looking at with fitting including. I'm thinking of doing in my local Yamaha dealer. Thanks for the help P.S going for my practical bike test next week woohoo (currently riding on CBT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno mate, I would do my own..... get quotes from different places, it would be cheaper to take the wheels in one at a time if youre up to the job, dont forget though...it doesnt have to be a dealer to fit the tyres, any bike shop would do it so shop around for the best quotes.

Yamha dealer is quoting me 60quid to fit both tyres....That's nearly as much as the tyres. I'll keep searching. The front one looks easy to do so I might ettempt it. The back one looks tricky. I've changed many many bycicle tyres in life, can you compare it? Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
