Topic: Not what I wanted to see..

Dang! Doing a routine inspection/cleaning on the 750 this morning. Wasn't planning on this but better on the lift than on the street.



Looks like a ride is on hold. Can't trust this.



Looks like a Dunlop F24 tire shop today.

What is those marks on your rotor?

A reflection of the diamond plate the bike is on.

How old are the tires ? Wasn't there a recent thread about new Avons cracking also ?

[toytuff]

Well this is interesting. Tires were replaced by PO. I just noticed on the back is a tubeless tire running a tube.

The only size I can find is a 110-90-19. It has a 110-80-19 on it now. Would the (90) be wider?

I have no idea but there should be a date on them. I'll take a look.

Got it! Thanks. I can never remember. 110 is the width.

Well, that should work fine.

It should fit rim better as the 10% taller sidewall can flex into place easier May need slightly higher pressure

Yes, and I read it right after buying Avons for the Z1.

Toy - the date of manufacture will be after the letters DOT, week and year made.
How long have you had that bike?

[toytuff]

Got it.

The rear tire says tubeless or tube.

Not a problem running a tubeless tire with a tube

[bryanj]

Common practice to fit a tubeless tyre, with tube, to a spoked rim. But never a tube type without tube to a solid rim

[toytuff]

These tires were on it when I bought it. History unknown.

Never noticed before as I keep an eye on tires. With the heat out here I'm not surprised. I have had wiper blades stuck to the windshield in the past.

So, that's an 11 year old tire.  No wonder it's cracking.  Definitely time for new rubber.

What did you come up with? 2002 I assume. Only thing I can make it out to be.

At any rate new tire, tube and rim strip ordered. I'll take it off later in the week when the new tire gets close.

Could of been a very bad day if out on a ride huh?

Not familiar with that model, put Dunlop 404's on my K8 last year.  You buy a set?

[toytuff]

Nope.

tt

[Stev-o]

Nope.

How old is the other one?

[toytuff]

Didn't look. No cracks, looks fine. Think it might be newer.

No worries.

Better to find it on the lift and on the street as you pick the gravel out of you backside...

Sorry to read of the misfortune.
There goes some Tequilla money, or beer money...
