Wondering how much you guys have paid for a Rear tire replacement on the X-Bones? I have around 7500 miles and it is getting close. Total price. Tire + installation.

 

Buy the tire your self, take it off your self, take it in for mount and balance, install it your self ='s price of your tire plus 35 bucks.

 

X2 on do it yourself. I was getting quotes ranging from 90-150. I said screw that and just started pulling it apart. I took it to a motorcycle tire shop and paid 25 bucks here in OKC.

 

If the dealer you go to is not scum then it should be the following:

Price of tire ($200), tube ($45) and rim strip ($8) and wheel weights (about a buck a piece).

+

1 hour labor. In my area that means $95 and chances are they will tack on some bull$h!t "shop supplies" charge of $6-8.

Overall you are looking at around $345 or so to have them do it all.

You can buy the tire online for as little as $135 and the tube and rim band for a discounted price. Then you just pay the other expenses.

If you are a do it yourself guy then you you will take off the tire yourself and reinstall it and just have the shop mount and balance the tire on your wheel in which case you are looking at around $45-50 besides the cost of the parts.

 

I found the tire for $155 online through some searching.

 

Just take it off its not hard and take it to the dirt bike shop its cheaper then indies for mount and balance

 

I went to my local indy dealer and got the tire for as good a price as any on line place and he mounted and balanced it for $15.
By taking off and replaceing the wheel myself I saved the $75 labor charge.

Its a bit of a pain to do because of the drive belt and caliper, but its easily within the abilities of anyone who is willing to read the manual first and has something like a jack to hold the bike up.

 

I'm mostly a do it myself kinda guy...except for tires. I paid $180 for a tire and $75 for install.
