Need New Rear Tire, What to Expect?
#23
I just got the rear on my RK changed yesterday. Ordered a D402 from Motorcycle Superstore, my son removed the wheel/tire and hauled that and the new tire to the local Honda dealer who charges the mere pitance of $20 to mount and balance. That price made me feel guilty, so I bought the tube there, too. Paid the $36 & change, took the the wheel and new tire home and was riding to lunch half hour later. If my son hadn't stuck me for lunch, I would have had about $170 in it.

Order a tire and tube online, Take your wheel off and mount it yourself,then take it to get balanced. That's the way I do mine...Save money if you can or want to..
Motorcycle super store seems to have the lowest prices when I need tires and free shipping for orders over $75.00..

I went the dealer route for the rear tire new break pads that I asked to have replaced and seals I paid maybe $40.00 more for the parts and $90.00 for labor. My time is worth something but I do enjoy working on the bike but it just made sense this time. I had two great rides that weekend that I would of missed doing it myself. Next time I'll give it a go I don't think I got ripped off at the dealer, ya it hurt some but it's good to have different hands check the bike out every once and awhile too IMHO.
