I change my own moto tires. Want to share a neat trick I learned way late into my journey.
If you’re having trouble getting the bead to seat, wrap a ratchet strap around the circumference of the tire and tighten a bit to keep the whole tire squashed onto the rim. Doesn’t take much, just enough to maintain contact. That bead will pop on like nobody’s business after that.

@CarbonatedPastaSauce that’s genius I didn’t have a problem getting a bead but I’ll definitely keep this in mind
