How To Change the Front Tire on a Yamaha TW200

My front tire is starting to wear out on my Yamaha TW200 so I thought I would take this opportunity to share how it get's changed. The original front tire that comes on this bike is a Bridgestone trail wing 31, some people call it the death wing because it doesn't keep great traction off road. I first replaced the stock tire with a Shinko 244 golden boy in 5.10-18 size and I will be using that same tire this time around again. It's a decent tire that is DOT approved and ok to use on the front or rear. The old one did wear out unevenly but any knobby tire will do that when used a lot on pavement. There is a 4.60-18 size that will also work on the TW200 which will possibly give it a slightly lighter steering feel. Thanks for watching and Ride Safe!
