wowsers them is thick tubes..
The Fly 4mm tube was pretty damn stiff, which worked out for me, less
chance to pinch when it stays up in the tire, since I put 2 small
holes in the Moose HD tube I put in the front last night.
Maybe its the new tires (K-270's) or the heavier tube but steering did
seem a bit slower, well make that more stable.
Not really sure on how much air I should be running so I am at 34f and
40r and the tires seem to flex pretty well for being that tight.
I see what people mean about the 270 lean wiggley thingy, but im sure
that will smooth out with a few miles on them.

Bearings greased a little, bolts all dry and glad I did'nt wait
another year. Only one required the tap tap of a rubber mallet to
move out.
Happy to report all covered in grease and new tires installed.

I have the Bridgestone Heavy Duty tube up front - it is about twice the
weight and thickness of the Moose tube, which is in its own right much
heavier than a stock tube. The wheel has a lot more inertia when I spin it
by hand, so I expect that the laws of physics would be felt. I noticed it,
but I need the security when riding off-road, so it is staying on. I wonder
how the Bridgestone tube I am using up front compares to Fred's Fly Racing
IV model... I would guess that they may be similar.

oil leak or oil sucker?
since you oil finishes /gets burnt so fast...
when you rev the engine , is there any smoke out of the pipe?
any smoke anywhere?
i suspect the valve seals have hardened.
to change them you will need:
4 valve rubber seals
1 cyclinder head gasket
to do a grind valve since you're already there
clean some of the carbon on the piston
2.5 liters of oil
and since u opened the covers, do the valve clearence thingy? ( if
your valves are too tight, it can cause the valve to be burnt,
drinking up oil)
good luck
