An MOA member who decided it was time to stop riding donated his 2008 BMW F 800 ST to the MOA Foundation to help further its cause of rider education, training and awareness. Unfortunately, the bike had been sitting for a couple of years before he reached that decision, so it needs a bit of rehab before it's ready for its next owner.

In this video, we walk you through how to replace the drive belt.

Tools needed:
* Torx drivers + ratchet + extension
* Torque wrench (for reassembly)

Welcome to the BMW MOA's Motorcycle Test Kitchen, where we try out gear, accessories and other products for motorcyclists of all kinds.

In this video, MOA member (and podcast host) Mark Barnes is done changing his tires, so he puts the Rabaconda Street Tire Changer back in its convenient (and sturdy) carry bag as we discuss the Tire Changer. You can find out more and order your own at https://rabaconda.com (https://us.rabaconda.com if you're in the USA). In other parts, Mark sets up and goes through the Tire Changer and swaps both tires from his motorcycle out for new ones.

Welcome to the BMW MOA's Motorcycle Test Kitchen, where we try out gear, accessories and other products for motorcyclists of all kinds.

In this video, MOA member (and podcast host) Mark Barnes uses the Rabaconda Street Tire Changer to remove his old front tire, then install the new one. Please note: THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND TIME MARK HAS USED THE Tire Changer! We learned a lot from doing the rear tire, so this goes much more quickly. Still, we're in the process of figuring it out. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

You can find out more and order your own at https://rabaconda.com (https://us.rabaconda.com if you're in the USA). In other parts, Mark sets up/breaks down and goes through the Tire Changer, swaps the rear tire and packs everything back in the carry bag.

Welcome to the BMW MOA's Motorcycle Test Kitchen, where we try out gear, accessories and other products for motorcyclists of all kinds.

In this video, MOA member (and podcast host) Mark Barnes uses the Rabaconda Street Tire Changer to remove his old rear tire, then install the new one. Please note: THIS IS THE FIRST TIME MARK HAS USED THE TIRE CHANGER! We left in a lot of the process of figuring it out, which makes the video a bit long. We appreciate your understanding and patience as Mark encounters questions and hiccups that any user would encounter. We do it the hard way so you don't have to!

When Mark does the front tire, it's much quicker. You can find out more and order your own at https://rabaconda.com (https://us.rabaconda.com if you're in the USA). In other parts, Mark sets up/breaks down and goes through the Tire Changer and does a much faster front tire swap.
