Nice work as usual. I am intrigued by this setup. Just did the Washington BDR with my WR and aired up and back down a few times with regular tubes when making the transition between highway and dirt. This seems like a more reliable system and definitely less work dealing with a puncture in the back country. Looking forward to the long term review.
Ya thanks. Been happy with it for sure. I don’t use it off-road a ton. So figured I’d try em out. They can be kinda finicky to install. Lots of soap and water or armour all is a good thing to set the bead. The excess just comes out the holes where the valve stems are. But liberal is better then conservative. Well at least in this application hehe
This is an excellent how to video! I like that you cut the music when you are talking. It makes it soooo much easier to understand! Also, I am interested in how the tires perform over time. Although you noted that they can be reversed partway thru their livespan, I think the Tubliss system instructions said to use previously unmounted tires. Which did you do, and how did that work out?
Thanks for the feedback. As for the reusing tires it’s going to come down to making sure you don’t damage the bead of the tire installing or removing the tires. I will try eventually to turn the tires around when they are ready to be rotated.
I would say the fuel controller. Most notable power increase. Then I would say sm tires and wheels. It’s a great commuter bike and when I want to get it dirty I put the tires in this vid back on. Cheers
How do these tires perform on road? I know that they are a 90/10 off-road/on-road tire. I own a CRF450L and will be doing predominantly off road riding but wouldn’t mind riding to the store or to my fathers house (40 minute commute) on back country roads. I have heard horror stories how the front is not suitable for road what so ever...
I have not ridden them on the road at all sorry to say. I didn’t buy them to ride on the road at all. I bought them because they were the most aggressive dot tire. So if your primarily riding off road your good to go. Obviously riding on pavement you should be careful with any sort of knobby tire. Just my 2 cents. Cheers
If memory serves correctly yes. And I believe I had to drill a second hole in each rim. I would have to watch my vid over. I’m pretty sure I explain exactly what I did step by step in the vid. Cheers!
Well to put in perspective! That bike was going to cost me a lot of money. Between the clutch, shifter, plastics, top end and a few other things I turned it into a parts bike for someone else unfortunately. My last vid on it I went over a few of the things wrong with and decided to scrap the project. Sorry pal. Just came down to $$$
Bigair01 fair enough! Currently I am doing a resto on the same bike and wow it’s costing a lot. And also finding parts is very hard, especially in New Zealand.
Ewan Moore yup. If parts were easier to come by I may have held onto it. I even tried looking locally for a parts bike with no luck. But try advertising to see if anyone near has one for parts. Would be cheaper for sure that way
Please give us a update on how they last, seem like a great idea so the tires can be aired down offload. You made it look easy thanks for sharing.
Will do. Thanks

@@bigair0176 Cool! Please keep us posted about how this turns out with another video.
David Clark will do. I will do a review vid. Might be a while cause I ride my sm set way more then the dirt setup. But I will do a review for sure.
Thanks for the video! Im doing tubliss also. What do you think were your most favorite mods on the wrr?

I would love a review of the AC10's!
Ok. I haven’t been riding off road a ton but I will try and put a vid up on a review in the future. 👍
Awesome!
Your videos are always helpful man ... was it tough to shoot n edit it ? Lol
Nah. Wasn’t to bad. I have gotten a little better at making these vids. Glad ya like em! Cheers

Did you simply relocate the plug to the old rim lock hole?
If memory serves correctly yes. And I believe I had to drill a second hole in each rim. I would have to watch my vid over. I’m pretty sure I explain exactly what I did step by step in the vid. Cheers!
Where is the YZ80 project at??

I may try find another in the future too. It was to big for my oldest for now as well. I ended up finding him a crf70
