Hey all, I'm about to remove my rear rim on my CBR F4i to change to a new tire due to a flat. Is it at all difficult to do?
I might end up just taking the wheel off and take it to the dealer to change it or is there a way I can take the tire off too?
Your responses are appreciated.

Unless you have a stand that'll keep it stationary and proper tire tools I'd suggest you let the dealer do it. Otherwise you may end up with scratched rims or even worse a scratched bead surface.

It is fairly simple to change tires on a rim if you have the right tools. You can buy tire irons to remove the tire for a reasonable price. Like Chain said though you'll need to have some kind of stand and be careful not to scratch the rims in removal. If you don't have a bead breaker or a balancer then you might just want to take it to a dealer.
