Tire mounting

[jtriron]

What's a fare price to mount a rear tire on a Gen 2?
(In a major US city)

Thanks

I charge off the bike 15.00 mount and balance
65.00 on the bike
and as long as it is a new non blemmish tire

Prices have gone sky high for mounting and balancing...the shops around here want $30 per wheel off the bike if you bring them the tires...$15-20 per if you purchase from them.

I was going to buy the 3 piece tire changing tools from HF and give it a try, but they discontinued the motorcycle attachment for the tire changer.

(BUT, if you know someone)

I pay $25 for mount/balance, I take i off the bike at home.

I think cycle gear charges 25 if you take it into them.

Change more than two sets a year, start buying the tools to do it yourself.

& I got the tire balance r from No-Mar for $100. (get them anywhere)

Went through 3 fronts this season. It's $75 off the bike here locally, x3 = $225 just in tire changes not counting the tires. Me doing it = free.

Wow that is outrageous! I would do it myself also if it cost that much. Local guy charges 20 for off the bike and 40 for on. He does a good job so I just take it to him.

I pay $20 off the bike which is fair IMO.

The shop charges $45 rims on the bike.

Here is $30 off the bike and $65 on the bike.

Zero, I do mine myself.

Over here it is fairly common for motorcycle clubs to have tire changing (and calibrating) machines. They also have manuals, stands and those special tools that you usually use only once. You can borrow them free of charge. Changing a tire costs zero.
In addition, if you have some parts that for some reason you can spare (like OEM levers if you up-graded to pazzos or OEM rotors or whatever, half-worn sprockets, etc.) usually you give them to the motorcycle club. Who ever get's them, pays what ever he wants and the money is used for more tools, machines, etc. .
Oh, and a 0,5 litre beer goes for €0,60...
