TDubsKid I run tubeless so what do I do

It's always a good idea to use cornstarch baby powder (not talc due to the hazard) on the tube during assembly. This is not always practical in field repairs like in the shop. The baby powder allows the tube to slide in the tire easier during re-assembly, but more importantly it keeps the tube from sticking to the tire. When the tube can move more freely in the tire there is less of a chance of ripping out the valve stem if the tire were to rotate slightly on the rim since the TW does not use rim locks. If you have ever changed a tire and tube that have been together for a long time it can be difficult to remove the tube as it tends to "weld" itself to the tire. Also keeping the valve stem nut loose (or removing it) can let you know if the valve stem gets crooked from the tire slipping on the rim. Also, those Bead Pro tire irons are the greatest ones on the market as you don't need another tool to break the bead. Keep up the great videos.

P.S. The beads go in easy peasy if you focus the vibration on the bottle itself. It controls the flow of beads exiting the bottle and didn’t get stuffed once that way.

Awesome video. I've changed a lot of tires, and this was great! I will pick up a set of Bead Pro tire tools. The bead on the rear of my DR650 is almost impossible to break free. Maybe these will help? Thanks for the tip. One thing, while cleaning everything up those plastic bearing dust covers do come off with two small screw drivers. This allows you to add grease to the bearing and snap the plastic cover back on to the bearing once greased. Pry the cover from the outer part of the bearing. The factory does not add much grease when new.

I’m not too worried about pavement performance but wanting to get a replacement tire as the trail wing almost caused me to bite dirt few times from slipping on mud and gravel. My choices are between Shinko 241 and 244, why did you choose 244? How do you like it for mud and gravel roads? Did you ever use or consider the 241 or have any opinions on it?

Easer way. For removing the second side of the tire... take it off the opposite way that you showed. Levering from the outside avoids the first bead interference you encountered. Once the second side is free the rim will drop freely down inside the tire, from there the wheel comes out of the tire very easily.

I didn't see if you spread the brake pads, makes getting wheel on easier .

Can you convert the TW200 rims to tubeless tires?

@TDubsKid

4 жыл бұрын

it's possible I guess but seems unlikly because I don't think anyone makes a kit for the rear tire. it's such a unique size. I don't know much about tubeless tires though. over 15,000 miles on my tw and only had one flat from a nail

any workaround on a front tubeless tire for the tw??

Not sure

The FIRST THING you do to a TW-200: Replace the Bridgestone DeathWing front tire with a Shinko 241 or 244 or be ready to lowside your pretty T-Dub on a rain slick road. The rear tire is adequate. Everything else is just extra frills.

@@TDubsKid I have three motorcycles, and the tiny T-Dub is the favorite for short trips, because it's light and fun. You don't need to haul out he BMW GS Adventure beats out for a cookie and milk run. Having a front tire that doesn't wash out when you look at it funny is critical to getting your cookies home uncrumbled. There was a guy on the TW-200 Forum who was told at a motorcycle store that the Shinko 241 was a bad tire for the T-Dub. MOST people use that as the alternate tire from stock. Watch out for bad advice from idiots. ASK THE PEOPLE THAT RIDE THEM.

Why not run the Shinko 241 tire? Just wondering.

Hi, On your carburetor’s main jet, is there a plastic catch or something? I can’t figure out which way it goes.

Screw those balancing beads. I ruined a good tube when I was changing out my front tire. They clogged up the stem and nothing i did would remove them. They got wedged. Did everything from video even vibrated them.
