Changed the tires myself today. Never changed motorcycle tires, but I have changed more bicycle tires than I could ever count!
They are tougher than a bicycle tire for sure, I had two 8" motion pro levers that helped a lot. The hardest part was probably the last 6' of the last side of each new tire going on. In retrospect, and little soapy water would have probably helped tons.
But here they are!
I went with the Kenda K262's because they are speed rated to 92 mph and they were about 36 bucks each. Re-used my tubes.
Do you want my old tires, I'll give em away free, just pay shipping. They have 500 miles on them.

. Went up the same dry trail two weeks ago no problem, but I didn't stop. Stood it up, restarted and ran it up the remaining way (10 yrds) dismounted until I got off the real steep part and remounted. Reminded me why I sold Suzuki DR650 and go one of these. Was way easier to pickup for my 73 year old body. Was about to pass the 2nd green tree on the right when I decided to stop.... bad idea!
