If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Ok, I'm in need of a new front tire... The old one is cracking and, well, old...

For a 450, IIRC the tire size is 3.00-18

So, does anyone have any experience with either of the above tires?? I'm not looking to spend over $100 on a tire (back tire is good, I'm not touching it), but I'm also not looking for something that will shred itself in a year or two...

Any comments???
 
Both of the tire sizes/ brands listed are tube type tires. If you want tubeless tires and don't want to spend a lot of money
Maxxis 90/90H18 $43.99 Looks like copy of Metzler M33
Or go up to the next size 100/90H18 325X18
Dunlop F11 $76.99
Pirelli MT 66 67.99

Has anyone tried Dunlop Arrowmax tires? How are they? And what is the harm in mounting two fronts instead of a front and a rear? I am curious because my little bike has a stupid tire size that I can get a front for, but not a back, unless I want to buy a standard street tire. :cry:
 
Tubed vs Tubeless:

So do I have tubes in my tires now or not (82 450, with some odd Japanese tires (maybe OEM replacements??) on it), and does this affect what I should get???

And what's the difference (tube vs tubeless)???
 
when i had my tires replaced, i had tube tires orgianl on my bike, and bought new tubless tires for my bike, when i took it to a very popular shop, the guy put new tubes on my bike and installed my new tubeless tires with the tubes. i asked him about it and he said it was safer to run tubes with tubless tires on these older bikes, the only side effect was the tire runs a little hotter but he was not worried. i'm happy with the way my bikes handles with the new tires which are bridgestone spitfires front and back.
