HELP! 1999 Yamaha Riva 125 TIRE CHANGE? w/pic

[balboaislandbob]

Hi All!

Our 1999 Yamaha Riva 125 rotted out a valve stem.

so gotta change the stem

gotta take the tire off (screwdrivers & gutts?)

might as well do both

So...

QUESTIONS
IS IT HARD TO TAKE A SCOOTER TIRE OFF?

DO ANY OF YOU HAVE A LINK TO DO IT FOR A RIVA?

OUR RIVA BELOW (trusty campground cruiser)

You can usually change the stem valve without removing the tire... you need a C clamp a board and a new valve...

You also need air from a compressor.. perhaps at a gas station to re inflate the tire...

True but if it's time to change the tire anyway then it's not a bad thing to do along with the valve stem.

See the Tips and Tricks section for the Tire Change post, lots of useful links in there.
