Working with "tubeless" tires
12/19/05 at 10:11:45

I just received my replacement Metzeler tires in the mail. I got them pretty cheap on eBay last week. $120 shipped for the rear and $85 shipped for the front.

Anyways... I was checking out the sidewalls for date stamps and I saw that they are labeled "tubeless". I am planning on mounting and running them just like any other LS650 tire with a tube.

Is there anything I need to be aware of when installing a tube in a "tubeless" tire? Will I be able to seat the bead as well as before?

I have a basic Coats 220 motorcycle tire changer and I just want to be sure that I have the right idea.

As long as the tube is the right size you are OK. Clive W
