Hi, I just bought my first quad, a leftover '07 Raptor 700 SE. Having only owned MX bikes in the past, can someone tell me any tips/tricks on changing tires? Are they tube/tubeless? Is the usual tire irons good enough to use like on a bike? Thanks for any advice, I'm going to pick it up in a day or two once they have it assembled.....

 

yes they are tubeless. as far as the tire iron i just use a 1/2in ratchet.

 

You will need something to break the beads as well. I think you can buy a hand bread breaker, otherwise take them to you local tire shop.

I own a Goodyear tire store and ATV tires can be tough sometimes - take your time and dont force anything.

 

One thing that makes it easier is to leave some air in the tires to break the bead. I use a tool that Harbor Freight sells. It works pretty good.
