Default Mounting Hiper carbon wheels?

Since you Yamaha guy's have the most sport quads out there, I figured there will be more of you with Hiper wheels then on the other makes. I have a set of Hiper's coming, and I'm mounting Razr2 tires on them. The place I bought the Hiper's from said, I could mount the tires myself, and it will be easy, but will take a bit because off all the bolts. I just want to know from those who have Hiper's, can I do it myself, and how do I go about doing it? Your info will be helpful.

Don't get nervous. I don't have Hyper wheels but have been to their website and see how they go together. It's going to be easy. You going to insert a wheel half in each side of the tire and then tighten up the bolts and that will be all.

Thank you. You said pretty much what the guy said that sold them to me. However salesmen have been know to lie to make a sale, so I asked just to make sure. I knew I could find someone in the Yami forum.

I got the 4+1 fronts, and the 9x9 rear with the 3+6. The guy tried to talked me into the 4.5x4.5, but I didn't fall for it. I had to buy 400ex hubs, because they still don't make a rim with the V bolt pattern.

Before you put the tire on, spray the rim with a lot of WD40 to help the rubber slide over the hump on the inside of the rim. Make sure the outside edge of the tire does not get caught too far inside the beadlock ring as you tighten it or it will leak and/or crack the beadlock ring. You will need a 12 point metric socket for the bolts in the beadlock ring, I forget the exact size. Do not tighten the beadlock ring all the way down, go in a circle around the rim a few times and bring the beadlock ring in a little at a time. If you just tighten one bolt all the way, you could crack the beadlock ring. You will need to overinflate the tires to get them to seat, they will want to hang up on the inside lip but 20-25 psi will force them over the lip.
