Dave, thanks for the tips!

I know the model number/brand of the stock tires, called around any many local motorcycle dealers have them in stock. Interestingly I went to 3 different auto stores and none of them sold tire irons. Looks like it will be a tool I will need to order from the Internet. Fortunately my tire still has a bit of life in it.

Good luck. I used to have a Blast and me and my dad changed the rear tire ourselves in our garage. It wasnt hard at all. The toughest part was getting the exhasut on and off because I had a V&H. If you have the stock exhaust, just get a little scissor jack from your car and jack up the back a little bit. Thats what i do with my new Buell. All you need is basic tools to get the wheel off and then it not too bad. You have the instructions on here. Having some tire lube did help alot, I dont know how much water will though... .

Either way, I changed mine myself, if was easy, and I never had any problems.

I kinda miss my Belast. Until I want to go fast!
