Delave,
When you were younger, did you go up to Antioch and cross into Wisconsin where the drinking age was younger than Illinois?

At the start of my KLR period, on long trips I actually used to carry a C clamp (to break the bead), a pair of them 10” tire irons, and a tube. Filled up half a saddlebag just with that.
Then one day I actually had a flat, and there I was with my tools, c-clamp, tire irons and tube, standing by the side of the road looking at a 450lb motorcycle with no centerstand......
Had a flat many years ago and every idea we could come up with to break the bead failed miserably even with the wheel/tire in my big bench vice. Finally succeeded by heating the rim with a torch. Looked like the mfg. had used a glue/sealant all the way around the 40 spoke rim. Why ? Good question. Most likely they tried to make a tubed tire tubeless. Not that uncommon. This way if a small nail or screw was picked up there would be only a very small air leak,
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Don't know how long you're staying but Lake Michigan has some great salmon fishing and Waukegan Harbor has many fine Charter boats.
A trip to the Museun of Science and Industry would be cool too since they moved the U 505 inside

You sure do call me a liar a lot.

On a 40 spoke wheel ? Right Correct. My V Strom has spoked wheels front and back and they carry tubeless ties. Right

This is the bike: ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/VJF9Rtx.jpg) If you wish, go to Suzukis web site and read the specs for the V Strom 1000 XT, it comes standard with spoked wheels and tubeless tires.

Considering all the holes in the rims for the spokes I'm very curious how that's possible with NO tubes ??
Not flaming here at all, sir just curious.
Nice bike

Nice bike Check out the tubeless spoked wheels on the photo Snowwolfe provided. Heck even high end bicycles now have spoked wheels that take tubeless tires. The puzzle to me is why bother with spokes at all on an Adventure Bike.

Most motorcycle riders who convert spoked wheels to tubeless tires do it with tape and sealant. Its actually pretty common by riders on the Adventure forums.
