I'll show you the most effective way to suspend your bike on the side stand and the most efficient way to fix a flat tyre by yourself.
We're using the 2022 Tenere 700 for this feature, as it is a good representation of an Adventure motorcycle, which like most modern bikes does not have a centre stand.

Hello from Vietnam. I'm a dirt bike tour-guide, used to take people in adventure tours around Vietnam and Laos. Your channel is really helping me doing my good job everyday. Many thanks Adam.
When we first started out on our adventure, I didn't know how to change a tire. I spent hours trying to find a video that really broke everything down for someone who just didn't have a clue (me). This is the first video I have seen where you explained the small things in detail. Good on you!
Much value in this kind of video.
Great and quite informative! Please do one for the rear wheel as well 👍
exactly, I never had a flat front !!! :))
How many will religiously follow the vid and not visually check and run hand inside tyre to see if what caused puncture is waiting to meet new tube.
Very good point.
suprisingly, it could be a rock that got inside somehow or a bent piece of steel wire the tire armor is made of that punctured it.
My memories: watching Motonomad for the first time, long time ago, Mongolian adventure... Adam using dry grass and stuff he found around to fill the tire, managing to get to the next place where he got the spare inner tube.... Never rode a motorbike in that moment. FFW 10ish years... I am riding those iron ponies with that same smile I had on my first day when I got 125cc vintage honda... Thanks for the inspiration. And thanks for being honest non-gimmicky human. Respect to that!
One of the best motorcycle tips that I have seen in years. Thank you.
I’ve been riding for years but finally determined to take care of my own bike more and more. This is useful!
Hey Adam, I love the way this channel is going! Looking forward to all the other cool stuff that is going to be published 😍 thank you !
One of the best how 2s I’ve seen mate. 42 years of riding and still learning 👍👍👍
Thank you Adam! Just did my first motorbike tire change on the T7 with no dramas.
Enjoying these videos..46yrs old and rediscovering bikes again after 20 yr hiatus..we are not too old..whatever u wanna do..get busy doing it! Thanks Adam!
I love your no-nonsense bush workshop. I learned a few tricks for ACT/TET Romania in August, thanks a lot. Günter/Nürnberg
Great video and great channel. Only just found you but enjoying the content. Another request here for a video on a rear wheel change and "bush" chain alignment which is something I always worry too much about getting bang on lined up! Love the chilled out "take your time" attitude to getting the job done!
Best tyre change video I’ve seen that was super easy to follow!
Please make a rear wheel Thank you very much, great
Odd how all the vids show a front wheel repair. I suppose it’s a bigger headache with the back wheel
Put the strap a little higher on the tree and around the butt end of the frame to lift it off the ground.
Strap the front brake with a length of Velcro, zip tie, or whatever. Then, lean the bike forward against the stand instead of aft. I use a small collapsible stand that wedges under the right peg mount, but a block, rock, milk crate, or even just knocking the bike over will do. Once it’s off the bike, it’ll be the same as any other tire change, just with a harder sidewall.
Where can I find a tree out in ze desert 😉
I am glad I watched this because it has been awhile since I had to do it in alone the wild. The last time I did, I put a hole in my spare tube by putting it in with no air in it. I discovered my error when I had the tire back on the wheel and aired up the new tube which didn't hold air because I had unknowingly punctured it myself while putting the tire back on the wheel. Colorful language followed. I removed the tube I had just installed and fortunately I was able to patch the tube with a patch kit. I carried a spare tube and a patch kit because the patch kit is light and fit with the other tools I already carry and also my Dad told me to. I replaced the patched tube and rider karma was with me. The tube now held air. The tube that started the day in the tire was too far gone to patch. I took it with me and hung it on a nail in the garage for a season or two. A nod to self inflicted wounds.
Love watching your videos, you just have that cool, calm and collective attitude!! Which a lot of us loss out on the the tracks, Nice to have you back home and looking forward to many more informative videos 📹 👍
Just picked up a lightly used 2022 T7 and found your channel. New subscriber and I’m enjoying your work already. Thanks mate
Simply brilliant, calm & clear. Very pleased to see new content👍
Another great video thanks really like the strap idea looks a lot safer than the swing arm jacks and other ways I’ve seen it done looking forward to more of this type of video
Wonderful advice! Great in the woods but personally I found that out in the desert, the camel I strapped the bike to kept moving around. Admittedly after I fed him my entire months supply of "Moroccan Black" and all my water he did calm down a bit, but then he fell asleep and I couldn't get my bloody strap back.
Thanks for the video. Surprising how many people can’t do this tire repair when off-road. It can be a bit more tricky if using 19” road wheels. 3 irons can help. I’d love to see your solution for a rear tire.
Very informative video. A must watch for every adventurer out there. Thanks Adam 👍
Great video Adam. Thank you for yet another bit of quality content.
Refreshing and clever steps. Thanks a bunch, awesome content as always!
Love that "leaning to a tree" technique, lots of trees over here. But never thought of that. But I have only got punctures on the trail 2 times since the moped age. Great riding Adam and thanks for the tips and tricks!
I envy ya, as I get a flat every 3 rides or so. One of the reasons I bought a Hilux lol, so effin sick of flats on 2 wheels
@@bigglyguy8429 👀😂🙌😅 Mousse sounds better than a Hilux ☝️😁✊️✊️
@@Braapncamp I did actually try the Tubliss thing, got a flat the first serious ride. Tore off the inner valve, despite correct pressures and rim-locks. Went back to a tube.
@@bigglyguy8429 I assume that You ride at very rough trails. What causes the flats! Sharp stones, debriefing or just alot of WOT 👀✊️✊️
@@Braapncamp WOT or go home seems the norm here...
Thank you Adam! All the best from CANADA!
This channel is pure gold, thanks man!
Next episode the backwheel 😂 Nice tip to use the tree!
That back wheel on the t7 looks like a pita! Was hoping he'd do it too!
The back wheel is the one everyone T7 owner actually wants to see 😂
Backwheel is exactly the same, just lift on the far side of the back where there is those plastic finger grips underneath the Seat area at the back and strap around there
G'day Adam any chance of doing a video on the rear wheel with the strap. I managed to get 2 sticks in my rear tyre within 500mtrs yesterday and 8t would be handy to see how its done. Thanks Dave.
on my own tenere, zero mechanical experience... KEEP EM COMING!! thank you and keep at it
Very nice...I'll steel the strap idea....I enjoyed the calmness of how you changed the flat. It was a good lesson on taking a breather before diving in.
Thanks for a great explanation. Very helpful, especially the chill out bit.😀
I'm planning to get T7 because of the simplicity and the way you explain to us
Love this channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Greatly appreciated. Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Thanks for the video. Tip with the strap is brilliant. You made it look easy.
As a relative newbie, this is brilliant. Thankyou.
Thank you. A very nice tip! I can recommend the DRC tire levers with a hex wrench on the end.
That's deffently good to know ..never seen the trick with the strap and the tree, awesome..Great video and will be adding this to my knowledge before I go on my travels in 2023 for sure...love the channel..all the best from uk 🇬🇧
Great vid! Love your content. I can’t wait to see how you set that T7 up for luggage.
Wonderful, things could be so easy!!! The tree-strap-trick is gorgeous! 😃
Great job showing off your skills. Thanks from Seattle
Thank you! Gives me confidence to be able to do this on my own. Please do a vid for the rear tire?
That strap patent with tree is great. Thx man for sharing. 🤜🏻🤘🏻
Another awesome video full of useful tips and information. I have been riding since I was quite young and I keep learning from your site...great job!! Cheers 😎
I'm not sure what I admire more: your Aussie accent or your motowisdom . I think it's the motorwisdom. And the always spot on videography.
That was a nice easy change. I remember many years ago changing the front on my F650 Dakar. It was the first front moto tyre I'd changed and had probably been on the bike for 10 years. Bloody thing was almost welded to the rim.
Amazing vid! I’ve never ridden any bike in my life and watched the whole thing without blinking.
Done it many times but good review from such a pro. Did I mention my t7 almost has 30000 miles. Bought with 500 miles.
Another stellar video bud…..you’re just killing it
Gr8 Bush mechanic work. Luv it!
Much appreciated Adam! You give top notch info and advice that comes from your incredible experience very few people can match. I’m just getting into adventure riding and trying to soak up all the knowledge I can from the best. 🙏🏽 Keep it coming buddy! 🏍💨
Also great for people getting back into off road capable bikes after many years on something else. In my case it has been muscle cruisers. I still have a 2022 Triumph Rocket 3 GT (triple black). That said, the call of roads, trails and adventures where I dare not take that bike sings to me. Two very different types of riding. Through conversation I know that many ADV riders have other types of bikes. If I had to choose, the Triumph gets sold.
Thanks for the video. Great hint with the tree and the strap to free the front wheel.
Hey Adam! Can you teach us the basics about enduro/adventure riding. 🙏🏽love your skills man!! 🖤
Dude you are a G Always love for the knowledge.
Nice! Just remember to check the tyre for thorns before throwing in the new inner tube. Brilliant Vid thanks keep'em coming.
Bravo! Tires are changed in the same way on road bikes and mountain bikes!
That tree thing was just genius!!! Thank you!
Really good stuff for a novice motocamper like me. Looking forward to the packing vid.
I still dont have one, but I am learning the most I can before I am able to buy. Thank you to make it that easy to understand 😊
Your channel is awesome. I won't forget the KTM video you did, The Power of Sound
Great content, once again! Keep the videos coming👍
Another brilliant helpful video 👍
This mate makes it look so easy. Thanks
This is an excellent video. Especially the strap around the handlebar clamps to a tree to hold up the bike.
Great Video. I really liked the Trick using the Tree. I have to admit, I would have never thought about using a Tree. Thanks for all the Work you do making these Videos.
Great video! Welcome back to Aus!
Hi, good idea, I didn't see before! My last flat tire was in an area with no trees. The bike in use was with center stand! A center stand is a good thing, On a trip! Only on the racetrack I don't want one. Next travel without centerstand I will take a solution with me, that I tested at home! Greatings
Great lesson from the master 👍🏻. Thanks 👍🏻
Followed your adventures for a long time, and seen your movies, but after warhorse I'm now also subscribed to your youtube channel :) Let the adventures begin.
Helps a lot, once again :) Thank you.
You sure make that look easy! I had a hell of a time, in the comfort of my own garage, getting a Dunlop Trailmax Mission (TMM) front tire on with just spoons. Never got there with the rear tire. Stiffest tire I have ever seen, just ridiculous! They last forever and they are a good 50/50 tire, but I won't be buying them again. I have zero confidence that I could do a repair like you did, on the trail, with those TMM tires.
Great video. Thanks. Love all your videos
Awesome video, thanks, I'm hoping to get my tenere 700 next year, I'm in the us so we will see, I'll starting to get my tools now I know the first thing is a tire repair kit.
Awesome. Simple and clear. Thanks!
I’ve never changed a tire/tube outside of the workshop. The cam buckle strap trick came in handy on the side of the Maluti mountains on Sani pass at the S.A / Lesotho border with dwindling light and negative temperatures approaching
Sick riding! I love that T7.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Great technique. Thanks 🤙
Thanks! Very informative.... And... that's a very interesting looking gopro mount... Would be interesting to see that up close.
Nice video! Those look like Rabaconda levers, they are the best. Combined with the perfect technique shown in the video it really isn't that hard. I carry a small pump bottle with Windex in it which is good for lubing the final bit of the bead which helps on the tuffer rear tire.
Nice, looking forward to the next one.
Just got a T7. 1st puncture 300 miles in. After ploughing through a couple of OTT how too videos its good too see a " loosen this, fix this, tighten this video. And have faith in your feeler gauge fingers when it comes to torque settings. Nice tree trick too 👍
Awesome video, enjoyed the laid back Aussie appproach and I don't even have a bike!
Thank you for the trick guy!!!
On ya mate! You make it look easy...
You handle that stock T7 so well👌
Thanks for showing.
Great stuff. Looking forward to the packing video.
I don't do this often enough to do it without a torque wrench. So I carry a luggage scale (9 bucks at Kmart). Convert the Nm into kg at the end of the spanner and then just slip the strap over the end of the spanner and pull the scale until you get the right reading in kg. Eg, 20 Nm would be 2 kg metres. A 250 mm spanner is a quarter of a metre, so you need to pull 4 times more, or 8 kg.
That's a great idea! 👍
Bro that was brilliant cheers. Ps I see you now changed sponsors to A Stars 👍
I don’t think I will ever do this but I really enjoyed watching this video 💪💪👍👍👍
For a hand pump, it's hard to beat the Topeak Mountain Morph. Takes up about the space of your pump, but with a flip out footrest, handle, and flexible hose, makes it so much nicer... and prevents breaking the stem with side loads. I have a few on bicycles, and love 'em. For my KLR, I have a battery powered portable compressor, but if I were to take an extended trip away from power sources, I'd borrow one of my Morphs to take with me.
rear next as them go more often. very good way you did the front. have fun.
you sir are a genius. i was expecting you to balance it on a log or something. wish i could subscribe 10x
Great video! Thanks!
Great Job - great Inspiration❤
Great instructions!
Dude, big 👍🏾 to the strap, I never would have thought of that. The back wheel, not so much, though 😊I carry one of those Tour Prop by Anderson bike stands that I picked up from the Flying Brick in SA years ago (works for my KTM 500 & GSA)
Love your riding style
Really great video. Can you do another video for the rear wheel?
