Hi everyone,
At last post, I had purchased a 1977 yamaha xs-650. I have since replaced the front brakes, rebuilt both carbs, new points, and timed engine. now the only thing I have not done is replaced the old vintage Dunlop tires.
I ordered a set of Dunlop k70 tires from bike bandit, but made the mistake of not checking the tire size on my own bike. (looked up the size per specifications) What I ended up getting from bike bandit was 3.25H 19 front and 4.00H 18 rear (again, my fault)...least to say both looked like they might fit a small dirt bike. (not at all wide enough)
I called Bike Bandit back, and the sales guy took my tire sizes that actually came off my xs-650. (Dunlop 3.50H 19 front and 5.10H 18 rear). He then advised to me that he had a set of Kenda tubless tires....100/90H 19 front and 130/90H 18 rear.
my question now is...are these size tubeless metric tires the correct sizes for the front and rear for this bike. I have look this up all over the net, and cannot be sure. any help would be nice. thanks in advace
