19 inch trials tire and swing arm bolts

With a new tire desperately needed on the rear of the KX, I choose a somewhat unconventional tire.  Also when you have the rear wheel off it is always a good idea to lubricate and apply some anti-seize to the chain adjuster bolts.  They have a nasty habit of corroding and sticking in there if they sit too long.


I love my 18 inch trials tires on my other bikes including my Gas Gas trials bike.  We will see how I like this 19 inch tire from Shinko.  Its a bit lower profile and not quite as soft, but still feels sticky.  I will have to play with the pressures to find the sweet spot.  Thinking about starting with 12 psi

If you want some tips and tricks on changing a motorcycle tire see my complete video on the subject. Link below.

I keep my swing arm bolts nice and lubed with some anti seize. Never had a problem.
