- YES -



with aftermarket tires do you have to have a rim lock?

- A good idea when running modified auto clutches or manual ones + also when running moded motors . -

I never ran a rim lock with my aluminum rim, aftermarket tire and a 15HP motor.

What are you running for tire pressure ?

 

[willtopete]

oh i dont know, I brought it to a shop and I asked if i need one, they said no. so they migh have added a little pressure to keep it in place. I was fine for the whole planet minis ride day

 

[JohnnyB]

I need to put one up front on mine cause I run lower pressures .

 

[plocica33]

i usually run about 15lbs

i've had four flats. 3 were because it ripped the tube at the valve stem. I just have a basic 88kit too. I bought a rimlock but have not put it on yet. Hopefully it helps.

Slayer, what kind of tire pressure were you running?

 

[SLAyER]

around 15 psi I believe. I dunno I lost the gauge thing for the air compressor so I just pump it up by feel.

Well Plocica ;

Since your running lower pressures + gonna get a tire with alot more bite than the stocker one had and I'm also figuring you've gottin alot more aggressive since you first got the fiddy . Your gonna rip the stem off sooner or later . It's cheap and easy to put one in while the tire is off . :wink:
