Tip I had when doing mine was take the brake rotor off as it gives you a bit more space for the levers. I think you normally need to get the inner tube out before you can get the tyre right off the rim but I'm not that experienced with motor bike tyres only having done a couple.
Be aware that you might need a compressor to get the new tyre to seat on the rim, as well as a lot of lube.

First ever crack at removing a tyre.
Didn't manage to get the other half off yet and the valve nut has got ceased and ripped from the tube. Ran out of time so will have another crack tomorrow. But overall pleased that I broke the bead and got one side off.
Hoping that if the tyres warm it'll be easier to finish the job.
Oh and fucking tonnes of goo.
