like a gripster but softer

For my riding style and habits, gripsters have been a good tire for me.
But... with such a hard bead and tight fit, it was a struggle to get
the rear tire on in my garage. During the entire life of the tire, I
dreaded having a flat on the road, which fortunately never came. Now, I
need to replace it and would like something close in design, but
hopefully easier to mount. Could anyone offer up a successor? Thanks.

Hello
I am wanting to buy a KLR 650, but have no idea what the cost of a
used KLR 650 should run. I know that prices vary with the miles ect.
but I'm looking for the average price for the years, 1995 through, say
2005. Anyone have price figuares for those years?
Thanks

I'd go to the NADA website to get a High / Low / Average Retail Price
for the bike and year. I would then get familiar with the prices of
new tires, clutch, etc. and what a dealer would be charging to do that
work unless you're able to do repairs / maintenance yourself. Look at
the bike and ride it (is the clutch slipping or almost about to; are
the tires worn, etc.). If it was well cared for and it has the
accessories that you value and is otherwise in good shape, I'd start
adding up to $500-$750 that I would pay above NADA's Average Retail.
If you see that it needs new tires, has clutch problems, wheels wooble,
burns oil, makes funny engine noises - run the other way unless you're
handy, have a lot of time, and the bike is going for a low enough price
to cover all of these failings.
