I use a high lift jack and a car bumper to break the bead on my tires. Use a block of wood to keep the jack from slipping onto the rim and gouging it. It's worked for all my tire changes (4 so far).

Just a warning, if you put a street oriented tire on the front of a KLR and do any significant offroading, it will handle like dogshit. Trust me on this one. 400 lbs + a skinny street oriented tire = massive understeer/washing out on turns. I've done this and it's not pretty.

I'd definitely patch it if it's tubed, tubeless is a bit more iffy since the repair has to hold air as well as contact the road.

I've got a Katana with Battlaxes on it, and 32/35 seems to work pretty well. Speaking of my Katana, how does this tread wear pattern look

That's just what it looked like afterwards. I put down some bleach, I think, and it made too much smoke. I don't have any good pictures of me doing the sweet burnout because all the smoke made it too hard to see anything. Trust me though, it was awesome. It actually made it really hard to get the tire off because the middle sort of folded up when I was trying to break the bead. Should have burned the chicken strips off too, I guess.
