Tyres
« on: January 15, 2023, 15:35:10 »
I was hoping someone could answer this one for me...

I have a 2012 650 DL. It's got Bridgestone Trail Wings front and back. I bought it about 6 months ago and It's only done 13k miles in total, so I'm thinking they are the originals. The front is clearly marked as tubeless, but it does not say anything on the rear.  Looking at the valve does not give me any clues (least not me), so I was wondering if the stock V strom mark II had tubeless rims?

Thanks.

Yes, tubeless front & rear on the 3 spoke cast rims.

13k on the rear, probably the second tyre on there as I get about 7.5k out of mine, have got more out of the front so that could be original.
