Buying and mounting/Balancing MC tires is one of the most repetitive & costly parts of owning a motorcycle. The more you ride the more it becomes apparent. First world problem, the more bikes you own the more it hurts. Granted not something one needs to do everyday, but one that the tools can often pay for themselves the first time out depending on your location. It's getting harder and harder to find shops that will do carry in wheels/tires at reasonable prices in many areas. Locally the going rate here over the last 20 years has crept up from about $10-20 a pair to $20-$50 each with some dealers being closer to $60.
A simple setup can be done for about $50
A not fancy usable set of spoons/rim savers for $19
A simple set of balance cones that will work for most applications $30
Yes you can spend more and typically the more you spend the easier the job gets. You can go from simple spoons to manual changers with bead breakers and tire bars like the Mojo lever that make faster and easier work of the job and higher quality balancers like a Marc Parnes unit or ones that have their own stand. I use a static balancer/truing stand with a set of Marc Parnes cones and sourced my own tool steel axle.
I learned with tire spoons(I was probably 8-10 years old on my own stuff on the farm), as I got older(12ish) the shop(indy MC shop) let me use the manual tire machine until they purchased a powered rim clamp machine 3-4 years later and I eventually bought my own as I took it up as a career. Moved on to another career but I still have most of my tools/equipment.
I did tires for years with nothing more than spoons, a basic balancer/truing stand at home.
Harbor freight bead breaker is only $14. Totally worth it. Also to balance the tires, I picked up this one from amazon and mounted it on two jack stands. Works great.
As for the tire changing process, I use the zip tie method for mounting the new tire. I don't particularly like it for removing the old tire. Also make sure the tires are warmed up before you start. They will be so much more stretchy and flexible.
