Inner Tubes

Recommended Posts

I have some old wheels that just wont hold air for long. Too many rock bashes with mini bends in the bead. Ive tried to form them round again but its a useless endeavor. Thinking about putting tubes in them.

A friend of mine cautioned me saying its possible for the tube to slip inside the tire and break the valve stem. Then, poof, no air and no way to refill.

Has this happened to anyone? Opinions on using tubes please.

I talked to the local repair shop guy. He`s mostly against it too. Says if done, you have to put more air in them to keep the tube tight in the wheel so it doesnt slip. I want to do this on the fronts of my 86 Suzuki LTF230 but the suspension on this is poor and lower tire pressure helps. Shop guy also mention fix a flat but its nasty when changing tires. I think if I ever change tires on this, I`d go get new wheels too. Leaning towards the goo method.

(and why doesnt the apostrophe key work on this website?)

      Hey,
      I am new to quads and I'd like to know more and be able to repair my BRUIN as much as I can.
      I bought a cheap YAMAHA because I know there is parts on the market and they can be repaired. 
      I hope I will learn a lot of things in this journey.

      Hey guys, I’m new to the forum. What I got is a 2001 Yamaha Bear Tracker 250, got it as a project on trade and the problem I’m dealing with is a “no spark” problem and been trying to hunt down the cause for two weeks. I’ve replaced the stator, pick up coil, CDI, wiring harness, ignition, coil pack, spark plug, solenoid, battery, etc. and I’m still not getting any luck. Even tried bypassing the kill switch. I also noticed two things on this quad, another CDI under the back plastic by the voltage regulator, and a blue and green wire coming from the motor behind  the foot shift, tried to hook it up but it broke off and I’m thinking the broken wire would cause it to have no spark, if not then I need someone’s help on this and wanna see if I can get spark again. If anyone knows why I have this problem, the help would be greatly appreciated.

      So the other day I picked up a Lakota 300, it's going to be a new project for a bit, the engine is super clean and so is the frame...luckily the VIN was intact.  However, it is the missing the air box (the one that holds the filter) but it does have the air chamber that goes to the carb.  These air boxes seem to be pretty pricey, so my question is has anyone had any luck running a pod filter on theirs and if so, what kind of jets are you running? The carb on this one is a Keihin CVK, I have yet to pull it off and inspect it.
