tire

Hi everyone, It's time to update my tire on my Husaberg 450FE 2006 I have a 80/100/21 front Michelin Starcross 120/90/18 rear Michelin Cross Competition, the tread lost big chunk. 1. Is it the good size tire? 2. Does Michelin AC10 is a good choice if I need DOT stamp? I have the impression...

Hello, New to this forum. Just purchased a 2001 501 FE that I would like to use as a dual sport. I have been told I need a cush hub to absorb shock and prevent damage to the front sprocket drive shaft. The question is where do I source this part? I would like to fit TCK80 "twinsport" tires...

So I've got this bike that I like to call "Frankenberg". It's a 2003 vintage frame with suspension from a 2000 FX600E that I used to own. Got in a head-on collision on the FX and bent the frame at the steering head, hence the odd collection of parts. Clearly the FX engine wouldn't fit the '03...

Hello, I read that different tire companies have variances in tire fit. If I buy a KENDA or SHINKO dual sport set of the specific size specified by Husaberg, will the KENDA and SHINKOs fit on my 2007 FE650E? Is anybody aware if any other sizes work besides the ones listed here? SPEC says...

So first of all I apologize for any stupid questions I have. I did searched the forum and online, but was hoping you guys can help me out here: First question. I currently have a AC-10 rear on my 08 FE450 which is 110/100-18. waiting on the shelf I have a 120/90-18 AC-10 and I'm trying to...

Hello, I am going to replace my rear with a new Kenda Trakmaster 2. Problem is that there are two main sizes that I can choose between: K-760 110/100-18 - wide K-760 120/100-18 - wider (and K-760 100/100-18 ) - narrow I see that the rear has already rubbed some on the exhaust... so...

Is it possible to fit a 160 tire on a fs 650? Standatd is a 150 and from what i can see the only issue would be clearance on the chain.......;)

Hello, I have recently gotten a 2011 FS570 and enjoy it tremendously. I have been noticing that it looses tire pressure quickly. I don't know much about tubeless tires, but within a weeks time my tire pressure goes from 26psi front / 23psi rear to 20psi front / 12psi rear. Seems like there is...

Currently running Pilot Powers and the rear is starting to show signs of squaring off down the middle and am wondering what is a good replacement? i would love to use another michelin but it seems all the newer tires only come in a 150/70/17 rear and not the 150/60/17 that is fitted as standard...

Hi, I have a 2011 Husa FS570 The rear rim is 4.25 which calls from the factory for a tire size of 150/60/17 I found a sweet deal on a Q2 tire thats a 160/6017. I will save about $50 total after mounting if I go with the 160, over the tire I was leaning towards the Pilot Power in the...

Finally, a tire that I don't have to buy again every 1000-1200 miles. My tire experience spans 36 years, and so many bikes I seriously can hardly count them all. On Dual Sport (DS) bikes, I've 60,000 miles under my wheels, and at a minimum 80% of those miles are on the dirt. I ride a lot of...

I just mounted a MEFO rear tire on my FE570S. I'm tired of changing tires every 1200 miles and riding on an almost bald tire for that last 200 miles. After reviewing the available tires, I just mounted a MEFO Super Explorer onto the bike yesterday. From the looks, I think it will work fine...

2010 FE 450 Bought some Michelin S12XC's for both front and back, Michigan is nothing but sand. Haven’t ridden on them yet but will do so soon. I have a trip out to KY planned and wanted to get the Medium compound M12XC to take with me just in case I start throwing knobs or might be proactive...

Ok, can't figure it out. Got my 2010 FE450 which I love but tend to lay over once in a while. I've experienced what many others have in that the fork gets twisted and I have to loosen and adjust back straight. I've noticed for some time now that the spacing between the tire and fork covers is...

I'm currently riding a 2011 FE570S. Prior to this bike, I've been on a KTM 525 and a Honda XR650. In all I've run over 57,000 miles on these bikes with approximately 80% being off road miles. I've tried multiple brands of tires, but for many years now, i've been running the Kenda Trackmaster...

The TUBLISS system did its job Running 50/60 mph in a sand wash went through a rock field and hit a rock hard! The Dunlop MX31 split open in the knob area losing the 18psi of air I was running The TUBLISS setup kept the blown out front tire on the bent rim for over twenty miles making it to...

Since I'm as likely to be on pavement as I am off road, when the factory tires need to be replaced I think I should at least consider a maybe a 50/50 tire or a 30% street/70% off road tire. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. This is a 2011 FE570S. Front tire is a 90/90-21 and the...

Just found out the hard way that a BT-090 rear in 160 width does not fit the '05 FS model, even with a 5 inch rim. I tried to trim down the edge due to chain rub and swingarm interference, but screwed up the bargain priced tire in the attempt. Has anyone fitted a BT-003 in a 160? I'm thinking...

Good day all... I replaced the front tire on my 2010 FE450 today and when I put everything back together and test drove it --- NO FRONT BRAKE. Lever had no pressure and pressed all the way to the grip. I pumped many, many, many times and no improvement. This is probably the third time I've...
