Hey all,
Working on a 1976 Suzuki TS250 and have replaced the rear tire, bearings etc, trued up the rear and now that its all together, the tire bulges in one specific area which i believe is being caused by the Stopper Bead, making the rotation of the rear wheel look untrue. In the image below it is part number 39.
Im not familiar with stopper beads, but it was installed when i removed the old tire so i put it back in when reassembling. I think that its placement has stopped the tire bead from being able to fit as far into the cincher rim as it should... but the name bead stopper leaves me questioning whether this is intentional. If you want photos of the actual area let me know and i will upload some.

). Was really simple mistake. I removed the tire (pain in the ass, two mini crowbars and a large flathead screwdriver) and removed the bead stopper. Checked the tire itself to see if it was bulged but it looked a-okay. Reassembled the wheel and put 20 ish psi in the tire... same discontinuity occured. Turns out i had to fully inflate the tube to 41 psi for the tube to fully seat the wheel. derp.
