I broke the bead and looked inside and I didn't find rim strip.
Do I need to buy rim strip and new inner tube together with tire?
If I need to buy Kenda inner tube what size of inner tube I should buy?
Online store suggested other inner tube for 100/90-19 but that is CAD $20 and Kenda is half of price but at the same time sale person told me if I buy Kenda inner it will not 100% match.
It's my first time changing motorcycle tire.
Please let me know. Thank you in advance.

I bout my 2000 savage whit originlnal tires, and there was a lot of rubber on those!
But the rubber was old, probably the tubes altso?
Soo, the first thing I done is get new tires and tubes and rimstrips, and new oil and oil filter, to be safe!
I put it in a local bike shop, got Bridgstone tires, 150/80 in the back and 100/90 in the front!
It cant be that difficult to get a new tube and rim for your new front tire?
Been there, done that, and even punctured a tube, now Im to old and lazy to do that work anymore.
