Changing tires NH125

[skaboss241]

Looking through the owners manual i saw that some specialized tools are required to change out a tire. I have little more than the basic tools but I need to put on new tires on my nh125 because they are dry rotted. does anyone know what are the tools that are actually essential or have any tips regarding the general process?

Then again a couple of large flat blade screw drivers will work if you are careful.

Okay that seems easy enough, I'll look around the local auto parts stores so I don't have to deal with shipping. Thanks for the help.

I've gotten lazy in my old age. I just remove the wheel, take it to my local Motorcycle/Scooter/ATV store (not my Honda dealer, but closer bu 15 miles) and have them do it for $15. Then reinstall the wheel.
