----- Original Message ----- From: Bordt To: DSN_klr650@egroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 29, 2000 6:06 PM Subject: [DSN_klr650] Need advice on tire changing I've got my new near TCK80 tire and tube on the rim successfully. One side of the tire seats completely. All but about one quarter of the other side seats. If I use a tire iron to pull on the trouble spot, it then seats but then the problem shows up some where else. I can't seem to get that last quarter to seat. I used WD-40 as a lubricant. Does anyone know if this is a problem. I tried using soapy water but it wasn't slippery enough. Right now I've got the tire sitting out in the sun hoping heat will soften it up some more. The tire mfg specifies 40 psi maximum when seating the tire. I've tried going a little higher but still no luck. Anyone know of a trick? Also, the only mark on the tire that looked remotely like a light-weight-spot mark was a yellow 29. I'm assuming this was an inspector's mark as well. I mounted that spot right at the valve stem. Does this sound about right? How about balancing this thing? I noticed that the stock KLR tire didn't have any weights anywhere. Should I just shoot some slime into it for balancing? I don't have any exotic tools or fixturing for balancing. Thanks in advance for any advice. Bruce Bordt Milford, Michigan
