Title: Tubeless or tube tires? Post by S-P on 06/01/14 at 14:37:08 I'm shopping new tires. Looked at Dunlop 404's, Pirelli's etc. and most of them are only tubeless in the sizes spec'd or will fit. The stock tires are tubes. Any problem with changing to tubeless? |

Title: Re: Tubeless or tube tires? Post by Serowbot on 06/01/14 at 14:45:33 You just have to use a tube in any tire on a rim like ours... Most tires are tubeless... our rims aren't... ;)... |

Title: Re: Tubeless or tube tires? Post by S-P on 06/01/14 at 15:02:45 Thanks! That's what I suspected, so I'll buy the tubes too. |

Title: Re: Tubeless or tube tires? Post by Dodgeman on 06/01/14 at 16:29:38 Is there anyway of getting tubeless rims for the LS-650, or savage. You would think, that nowadays, it should be possible. Or not!!! |

Well, and there is a hole in the rim where the inflation valve goes through it. Maybe some bubble gum in it would make the rim tubeless? :D |

Why ? Picture this : http://www.fedrotriple.it/agg_2007_09/1924-triumph-riccy-6.jpg Walk up to a cold Savage after an overnight stay... - pull the air lever to enrichen the mixture, - pull the ignition advance lever to delay spark to 0° @ TDC - turn key in ignition, - push starter button, WHUMP ! Thumpthumpthump... - gradually release ignition advance lever back to OEM idle advance, - clonk into 1st gear, ride off, release air lever as engine heats up. That's the way Grampa taught me :D http://https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQhHi7WsWdcQq6-sF751WaOuFB1ND3EZpYK4CnMXbqpyyxs3-eQ (Or... how to start a big single without being catapulted into space! ;D) |
