New Jersey sr500 tracker/scrambler

Actually, there is and it was WELL vetted close to a decade ago on the SR500 forum. It was memorable because a few got close to getting banned over it. Short answer from all that, if the wheel doesn't say "TUBELESS TIRE APPLICABLE", then use a tube. BTW.....there's more to it than just the bead. Those of us that were around back when mag wheels started to appear more and more on Japanese bike know this is true. Use a tube.

Outside of fitting a tubeless valve stem and the porosity of the rim, what else is there?


The Suzuki rims of the same era are identical with regards to rim shape and bead lip between the tubeless and tube only rims. The only difference is the diameter of the stem hole.


People even run tubeless tyres on spoked rims with silicon over the nipples.


Just because someone nearly got banned off a forum 10 years ago doesn't mean they were right. I'm pretty sure there's been more people banned off of forums for there oil choices over the years ;D
 
Nothing exciting going on, bled my rear brake went and bought miscellaneous screws and bolts for the things I've been putting off like the rear mud guard, front master cylinder, front headlight mount...

Rectifier came in, it's much smaller than the oem one so I'm going to fix up the mount a little bit figure out the wiring and mount it up... Anyone know which wires go to what on the sparck regulator I have the manual to figure out the oem one

Finally remembered to bring the tank key and it looks great inside (gotta get rid of the keyed cap) :D whew!

Lowe's has a great hardware section even had some rubber plugs I can use to mount my gauges

Ah....you know of the other thing I didn't mention that makes it inadvisable. Wheel porosity.

You're right. But when one expounds the wrong advice to the point of excess, then one tends to get what they deserve. Be it from oil type or tubeless application. THAT'S why it was memorable.

Meh - whatever. I put a car tyre on the back of my Intruder against the advice of everyone's mum and 10K miles later it still handles great and still looks like new.


Nj dude - you'll be fine ;)

Well......Considering I did some time in the early '80's with Dunlop tires changing tires on anything from full dressed touring bikes at GoldWing rallies to TZ750s and factory Superbikes at AMA/CamelPro roadraces, I DO know a little bit about this. Bottom line, going tubeless on a wheel that DOES NOT say "TUBELESS TIRE APPLICABLE" is just asking for trouble.
 
I fuckin use Rotella or Valvoline with the occasional Yamalube when I get a free case, but Tilube is great oil too :-* :-* :'( :'( :mad: :p ::) ::) ::) ::)

Grinding barefoot. Looks like something I'd do. I just got rid of a cm400 that I built. I hope the sr has more to offer or else you're girlfriend may have more horsepower in her abs than the engine does at the crank. ;)

It pulled plenty for me for a first bike and it hasn't been tuned fully yet I'm not expecting a busa as long as I'm smiling ear to ear the sr will be fine ;) ;D 8)

We're supposed to use oil in these? I have a bunch of evoo can I use that?
