newbie with a new bike

Post by philio »

Hi

Joined the forum a while ago as i was dead set on getting an XT600E, but ended up getting an 09 Tenere smile:

kind of new to "adventure" bikes as ive always owned road bikes. Hoping to hit the trails / green lanes on my Ten once i get some half decent tyres....that reminds me, need to learn how to change tyres.

Whats wrong with your current tires? and the easy way to learn is by going on youtube & putting in the question. :rtfi:

"how to change a motorcycle tire" or "easy way to change a trailbike tire"

Hi Philio,

I had Conti TKC80s on my '08 Ténéré, thoroughly recommend them.
