Anyone know how much a shop charges on average to reseat the bead on a motorcycle tire?

If you take the wheel off the bike and give them only that, it shouldn't be expensive at all, and likely only charge you 15 minutes labor. $20 sounds right off the top of my head.

If it is on the bike still, it will cost quite a bit more as they will have to do all the labor to remove the wheel. That will likely be around an hour labor combined, so figure around a hundred bucks depending on shop rates.

Before that I would use or borrow a portable air tank or compressor and try to do it myself. Good luck.
