Remove wheels, remove valve stem from innertube. remove tire by getting tire edge over rim. reinstall in opposite direction. If this seems difficult consult local bike shop for assistance
The front wheel is removed by releasing the quick release located at the bottom of the fork. The tire can be removed by deflating the tire and then levering off the tire itself using a set of special removal tools.
If you have pegs on the back you will need a deep socket to fit the nut and a socket extender and a socket wrench. with the wheel off it is just the same as changing any other bike tire. Just make sure you check the inside of the tire carefully for anything poking through that may puncture your new tube. Also check to see if you need a new tire and make sure you inflate the repaired tire to the correct pressure or you may get a pinch flat.
The cheapest way is to buy a new tube to see if that was the problem. Sometimes tubes can inflate bigger at one area than others. If not check to see if the rim is true, meaning that it is not bent, if so replace. It could also be the tire.
