Fat Guy With a Motorcycle Lift - Dual Sport / Motocross

The other day I needed to change my tires on the Suzuki DR650. I've been changing motorcycle tires my entire life and never had such a problem breaking a rim bead as I did with the rear tire. You can read more about that nightmare here.

I was at Harbor Freight and thought this motorcycle lift would be perfect for my tire change job. It turned out the DR650 is slightly heavier than the recommended weight, I didn't know that at the store when I purchased this. I used it anyway though and it worked out great. This lift has a 350 LB capacity and should work fine for most dual sports, pit bikes, and motorcross motorcycles that are UNDER 350 LBS.

I'm still working on losing weight. I never realized how fat I looked until I started doing these videos. I'm OK with that though, that is what is currently motivating me to lose weight. Regardless, I decided to name this one....

The lift itself was $50 from Harbor Freight. It's made by Pittsburgh Tools. I'd probably look for something with a higher weight limit if you own a DR650. Had I realised in the shop, I probably would have waited for something that meets my weight needs. Even my motorcycle is overweight 🤣. It worked fine though for me, keep in mind those manufacturer weight limits are there for a reason. Better safe than sorry, The Dood just likes living dangerously I guess.

Anyway, hope you enjoy "Fat Guy With A Motorcycle Lift"
