Changing Tires?

[marko138]

I've always taken the wheels off myself and took them to have the tires mounted and balanced. I think I paid $25 per last time...and that was at a Honda dealer.

It's nice not to have to worry about this as much.

Are there modern-ish bikes that still even use tubes?

allot of spoked wheels use tubes. Any tubeless tire can take a tube into it if it has some wierd slice or somin.

Just about every offroad bike. The DRZ uses tubes. I am sure some GS guys that do a lot of offroad run tubes. Too easy to get a cut off asphalt.

Well the rear on the GS is done like a car tire..

But he's only 50% saved.. front is still all mc

$30 each off the bike at the HD place. Neither the Zuke/Kawi dealer or the Honda/Yami dealer will touch a Buell rim.
