This sounds like a good reason to start changing your own tires. It sucks at first, but after you do it a few times it gets much easier. A good set of spoons/levers will cost you around $20-30. Get 3 of them, it makes it easier. Maybe consider getting this guy for $12: http://www.amazon.com/Motion-Pro-08-0471-Bead-Buddy/dp/B0035UDHZ2 (it acts like a third hand to keep bead on tire when putting tire back on). Then you just need a valve core remover ($1-2). Balancing tires is actually really easy too. http://www.amazon.com/SMI-Motorcycle-Wheel-Balancer/dp/B0040HE8OS/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1407863820&sr=1-1&keywords=motorcycle+wheel+balancer

Let me know if you want help learning, I can point you to some good install vids. It's not as easy as they make it out on the videos though when you first start, but after you do a few you'll be a pro and never take tires in again.

Not OP, but these are the ones all my biker friends recommend

Well, what size do you need? On my WR250f I ran Shinko 705's, at $60 for each tire, that was a damn good deal for me. They lasted several thousand miles and were good if I ever needed to go off-road, and had great handling on the road.

Next upgrade: customTaylor33

Found out about them on another thread. Can't wait to try em!

Doh! I hope you got it sorted out. Just make sure you order the correct size for your rims too. Here it is on the Amazon Canadian site if you haven't found it yet.

Start with a metric wrench set, and a Metric Socket set, I would get 6 Pt sockets instead of 12, so you don't strip things. Then also screwdrivers, and a hammer.

The common sizes you need are 8, 10, 12, 14, 22 is the front axle nut, 27 is the rear.

These metric drivers make life so easy.

Also something like these T handled metric Hex Key. Having different colors makes it super easy to just reach and get the right tool you need.

Also I would get tire iron set. And a bead buddy2 For changing tires.

You can also get the CustomTaylor33 stuff via Amazon...

Hey sorry was on mobile before couldn't type much. The bearclaws and OG mudlites (stucklites or pluglites depending where you live) just are old thin sidewall tires and their performance is severly lacking.

If you are trying to stay in the $250 range, check out these sunF tires. They're a bighorn knockoff. Biasply instead of radial. Only 6 ply but they're much thicker and stiffer ply than the kendas I ordered years ago (sent them back). They also make a zilla knock off. Are they as good as the originals? No probably not. But will they on a light quad like that? Absolutely. Theye bighorn knockoffs are probably going to be my next set in 28s because they dont' make an OG bighorn in a 28"s for 12s.


Just dawned on me, you might actually have the original 10" wheels on that. In that case you might want to look at something like this.. Though I would seriously consider buying a set of delta steel 12"s so you could run any tire you want.

Maybe https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014HXRJV8/ ? I have this on my wife's Ninja 300

Looking at these tires for my DR200. Would they fit?

I just ordered a couple of lithium batteries and 36v speed controllers for "my kids" e300's. Should be here in a couple of weeks. Total cost was $216 for the parts to convert two E300's. The batteries are only 8ah... 14ah would have fit. Top speed should increase to roughly 18mph. I'm hoping the batteries last a couple of years versus the yearly change out. There are a lot of dirt roads around me. Future plan is to put on the older style knobby tires that the e300 use to come with.

I am about to purchase some of the MASSFX Claws for 2 of our atv's. My son's already has a set of duro power grip tires pretty much identical to yours and they have been a solid tire the few times we've had it out since giving it to him at christmas.

These are the ones i'm going with.

That method works really well sometimes. Could also try a big slide hammer. They also make special things you bolt into the hub to just wail on with a sledge hammer

Is that the stock Metzler? I get better performance and mileage from the Avon. Not sure what size you use, this is for my Raider.

I found a local shop to mount them pretty cheap, so cheap it's not really worth the hassle of me doing it myself.

I'm going to buy these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RW54Y2B/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ACW8M2QXR07XT&psc=1

Are they the bearclaws you're talking about?

Have the wheel and the holding bolt. Just need to convert it to 6 hole X 70mm.
Once it's out I then want to weld it to something like this...
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07JHPZJBN/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_k4QzDbY8Y7QB4
Possible?

No I'm pretty sure I'm in the right place.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K9MB6X1/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_0wA1DbS30VTG3

Scooter like the one above, I am not talking about ones like this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DHZ61Q8/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_LyA1DbMAMRPZE

If r/scooter does include those than I am sorry for the inconvenience, I just thought that one was more moped based

Get the best you can put in your scooter. I know of some extra thick, Heavy Duty butyl rubber inner tubes designed for the Honda 50cc dirtbikes. They're advertised to be "explosion proof", and when punctured they create an airtight seal to prevent damage and injury to rider. They also absorb bumps/shock and improve ride smoothness.

They fit 2.5"/2.75" - 10" wheels. The brand is: AR-Pro. They have logos on the tubes. Get a 2-pack for $18 on Amazon.

Here you go

I got one from amazon that comes curved. You just have to clean the rims and you can take it off and put it on as many times as you want, and it won't make it any less sticky. Luckily I did it right as I bought the bike, which made the rims as smooth as a baby's buttock.

Buell bro! Thanks for the kind words. Here's the Amazon link to the wheel tape I used.

I love the look of this reflective rim tape , although it's not completely lit up , it still looks good at night or with flash. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G5RTYYK/ref=sr_rp_1?m=A21JCJ19UN8DCH&ie=UTF8&qid=1457748328&sr=sr-1&keywords=reflective+rim+tape

I have these in 190/50 on my FZ1...theyre okay but theyre a great value

Tire iron kit,
Bead buddy (helps when taking the tire off), Lift (this has worked well for my KLR, combine with a couple of jack stands for more stability)

Other things that help: rubber mallet, needle nose pliers, SERVICE MANUAL, torque wrenches.

How does this list look:

Thx boss. Seems like they have the 120/80-18 for ~$60 on Amazon which seems like a great price.

Alternatively, may grab a new front wheel as well. If I did, Revzilla has a nice combo going for $111.

Would I be fine with 90/90-21TL for the front? TL vs TT if I want to shop around? Since the stock is 80/100, would this have any noticeable effect on my speedo? Thinking 80100% vs 9090% is only a mm difference..

https://www.amazon.com/Club-491-Tire-Security-Device/dp/B000SDVEU4

Would something like this help? Considering(as it was already stated) wheel locks are easy to defeat.

How reflective is it in normal lighting conditions?

I found this seller on Amazon and he says he can custom-make any of his reflective tape.
