Title: Tire sizes... Post by rocksavage on 03/09/07 at 08:04:18 I just bought my first bike 1996 Savage 650 LS..Love it..I need new rubber and cannot find the stock rear 140/80-15 anywhere in Canada..Found it on a few places on U.S websites but still seems to be rare.. Is installing a 140/90-15 considered acceptable.. Also some of the few tires I find state that they are tubeless..Can we use a tube in a tubeless tire..All savages are tubed right??? I am new to all this sorry if I seem a little green..Any info would be appreciated.. |

Title: Re: Tire sizes... Post by serowbot on 03/09/07 at 08:58:34 I have a 140/90-15 dunlop 404 on mine, it just fits. It will up your gear ratio a small amount and make your speedo close to dead on accurate. Yes, you can put a tube in a tubeless tire and always use a new tube in a new tire. |

Title: Re: Tire sizes... Post by allan on 03/09/07 at 10:10:53 you can up to 150/90/15 but if you have saddlebags supports that fasten under the fender it will rub on the front bolts, allan. |

Title: Re: Tire sizes... Post by Savage_Rob on 03/09/07 at 13:58:21 Seriously though, even if you just install some 11" shocks, it'll be good. Otherwise, set the stock shocks to the highest/stiffest presets and replace the bolts holding the saddlebag supports with mushroom head allen bolts and it shouldn't rub. |
