    Does anyone know where I can get my tires sealed (for tubeless) in the Tacoma/Seattle area?

    I just joined the forum to learn more about what direction I want to go with my recent purchase, a 2009 Versys 650 with 11,500 miles on it. I recently sold my 2017 Versys 1000 that had a little over 5,000 miles on it. So far I am very impressed with the 650 torque and performance. Took a 150...

    I am looking for a set of tires that I realize might not exist. I bought a 2018 Versys 650 last summer coming from a Street Triple R. I bought the Versys because I wanted a comfier, less powerful, but still sporty tourer for commutes and trips. The previous owner put a very sporty pair of...

    I have looked at some of the older tire threads, but some of the tires are no longer in production. So here goes. I will likely spend 70% of my time on sealed highways and 30% on unsealed roads (corrugations, a little mud after rain, gravel). I DO NOT intend to ride off-road (on farms, forest...

    Here's some more video of another day at the track with my 2020 V650, this time at Toronto Motorsports Park Cayuga, beginner green group. I've coupled the GoPro footage with live feed from a GPS unit so you can see track position, speed and lean angle etc. This is my second time on the track...

    I just had Bridgestone Battlax Adventurecross Scrambler AX41-S tires, OEM sizing, installed on my 2015 650. The bike still had the original tires, but ultra low miles. I replaced them due to tire age. Just on the ride home, with slightly damp pavement, the tires felt grippy and my cornering was...

    Hey everyone, Let me preface this by stating I've heavily modified my 300 but neglected tires and mirrors, and a short summary of events leads to a question of advice on tires with specific usage in mind. Got my 2017 Versys-X 300 in August 2018 and did some light off roading thrice...

    I just replaced my OEM Dunlops with Pirelli Scorpion II's on my 2015 650 LT. The Pirellis come in the stock sizes. I got just under 5,000 miles on the Dunlop rear tire. It squared off badly and made for some interesting times on the twisties. I finally had enough surprises that I thought it time...

    I've hade my Versys for about a month, previous owner did some heavy highway commuting and the back tire is squarred off pretty badly. More so than any bike I've ridden before. I plan on replacing both tires this Wed., front is just plain wore out, that rear just makes me nervous. The rear has...

    I am a new rider and I would like some new tires that I could get. What I am looking for: Something that would do better offroad, hitting gravel, sand, etc. And yet, something I could go a couple hundred miles on the interstate and not worry about having to buy new tires right when I get back...

    Hi guys, Got my first flat on the back tire (tire that came with the bike), about 6K miles. I can see the little sucker, slice like hole. I've never patched a tire myself, and don't have the gear to do it, but what would you recommend to get it fixed? I can't see driving it 35 miles to the...

    Hi, this is my second post, and the main reason for registering. I've been reading threads here for almost a year. I have a 2011 Versys with 3,000 miles (2,000 with a nail in my rear tire). I know its deadly to ride with a nail, but the angels have shown me favor, and I can now afford to replace...

    Hello all! I've hit the road with my new V and have made it to Grand Junction CO. My plan is to head to AK (Fairbanks and prolly Arctic Circle run). I did some advanced planning but didn't want to overthink it. I'm picking the route as I go, and keeping myself off the clock. I'm trying to...

    Ok. I'm in Mexico. I just replaced my rear tire before coming down here,as I had a screw embedded in it and my dealer/repair guys said they wouldn't fix it due to liability issues. Meanwhile I punctured the new tire while riding off-road and on extended dirt roads yesterday. Fortunately I...
