Came across this video and it's quite impressive.  All old school techniques.

pdxfj,

One of the crew on another Yamaha bike forum mentioned there was a forum/website for these bikes, Soviet Steeds.  Could be a good source for parts and procedures there.

Cheers,

P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.

Enjoyed that. Maybe after he sells the bike he can swing an air compressor.
