Hiya.
I got my new bike started... well, it started for about 15 seconds, running at 6k rpms, then it died. But the compression test turned up good results. I'm hoping cleaning out the carbs will solve the problem. Fuel comes easily out of the tank, so I can't figure out why it seems to suddenly run dry.
But anyway, my question is about tires. They are dunlop tires from around '96. They look almost new. Tread is certainly fine, but I'm wondering about the age... are they safe? And they are tubeless... the manual says something about only using tube tires.
Thx
Some guy asked to see picks of my bike because he likes to see newbie bikes. Don't have camera with me, but imagine bike on cover of manual - 27 years. wiped down with windex
