Car Tire

Magnum Magna · February 20, 2009, 06:24:30 AM

At 45 PSI it was very hard no softness in the turns or accelerating out of a turn. At 35 it has a little softness. It took a little getting use to that sensation but I feel like it is griping the road. I have been meaning to try 40 PSI and the next time we ride two up I think I will push it up to 40.

Rotella T, good stuff!

I still want to ride your bike more Robert when we have a chance and you get your handlebars to stay on.

Handlebars, Smandlebars.. What you will ride on a car tire, but not if there's a handlebar issue??
What.... Are you Chicken??

Just Joking... What's up with the Handlebars??? Too much input to compensate for the car tire???
No response necessary..

Rotella - Hey if you believe in the product, and you don't have SF.. Then the effort is acceptable!!!

I have had my share of handlebars coming off more than once! If you come out of it okay, it's all good!! but if ya don't......

so far so good.

The handle bars were twisting in the risers. I must have tightened them down differently this time because they are not twisting.

Okay well I am going to the Darkside for MOOTMag I have found that motorcycle tire have gone thru the roof so I found a discount tire that had 2 of the BF Goodrich TA Radials in the 155/80/15 flavor. I will be getting one of these and installing before MOOTMag now I have found 2 places that sell the Dynabeads and am thinking about those to.

If I do go with the Dynabeads can anyone tell me how much beads I will need or how many oz ?

Anybody that is Houston who wants to come watch me blow my self up when seating the bead you are more than welcome to come watch the mayhem and see how a tire gets changed in TEN MINUTES !!!!!

I'd go with at least 2 oz, Maybe 3 - I think I put about 2.5 in mine.
I have posted this before, but the best way I have found to get the beads in, is to take out the tire core, use the clear plastic tube provided with the bottle (Any tube that fits on the valve stem will due, but clear is helpful). Half fill the tube, then use a baster of some type to pump the beads up and down.. This works pretty well.. (I used a Radiator Hydrometer) - add more beads and repeat..

10 minute tire change! HA HA HA that is a good one!

Allen's 10 minute translates in real time to 55 minutes!

At the risk of making Queenie mad..

That's like Bathroom time warp time..

Ahhh... That's like when my wife says from the bathroom "I'll be ready in 10 minutes!!!"

Hey Ten minutes is doable I was just tired from the TIGGER dance LOL Oh and it WAS 20 degrees out

roboto65 · June 08, 2009, 03:21:58 PM

Ok tire is on boy I was wondering if the seat was going to go or not but it went no noise or pops and put 3oz of Dynabeads in there for good measure !!!!!

Sounds like you shouldn't have gone with the16" tire, but the 15"!!!

I had to go 115 PSI to get mine to seat.. (hiding behind a cement wall!!)

Reminder ....be very careful with the torque on the handlebar riser clamps........if I recall correctly the screws only take 7in-lb torque and have a nasty tendency to snap if over torqued....check the service manual for the proper torque on these screws.......
