What's up Phil? Glad to hear you still haven't bought a bike yet. LOL

 

No monies

 

Thanks, love the ride. Firmed it up just enough but still very comfortable. Surprised at how well valved they are out of the box.

 

Man I was there Saturday. The falls was ROLLING!!!!!

Tires ordered! Went with SunF warriors over the Maxxis zilla. They’re clones but actually seem to have a better 6ply sidewall from what I could gather information on. Plus waaaaay cheaper

 

Hells yeah.

 

Time to watch dirt bike kid… again

 

anyone know anything about balance beads? Dude i bought tires from had them installed. They make a loud noise when riding down road and are out of balance at 65 plus. Im pretty sure im going to take them out.

 

I watched that on Prime a few months ago.........................then went looking for a YZ80

Only read about them.

 

Feel like they were installed wrong, sounds like something is contacting wheel when going down road but i know its not.

 

I would think you just throw the balls in the tire and done. I thought the purpose for them was to hit the "low" spot once they started to rotate, evening out the balance.

 

I just looked and the amount depends on size and type of tire for the amount calculated. Might be better just having weights instead.

 

My first motorcycle was a YZ80. Little red/white screaming machine!

 

Horrible vibrations at 65 plus and loud noise from tire from start to stop. Something not right. I just got an alignment and its still messed up.

 

only thing is they are 17's and the tundra min size is 17 and the cliper is damn close to the wheel so your limited as to where you can stick the weights. I have same issue on my Tacoma since i have 16's on it.

 

I had balancing beads in my Z28 when I lived in Cali. They were low maintenance and rode smooth to me. They are supposed to be self balancing, but don’t know enough about it to offer a solution.

 

I had a XR50, XR80, then went to a 125 2 smoke. I miss that sound

Damn, I have that would help.

 

Going to discount tire after work. They said they can help.
