Tubelessness of non-OEMExcelRim

The rust of OEM wheel of CB400SS (especially front wheel rim and spoke) was so bad that we installed OEM spoke on ExcelRim to refresh it. The OEM wheel is 19x2.15MT for FR and 18x3.0MT for RR, but the same size of ExcelRim for FR is only available in WM Type, so it was changed to 19x2.5MT.

I was told by WebikeSupport that they did not know about the compatibility with external Wheels, but after checking the ExcelRim and Size compatibility and assembling, there were no problems.

According to the Instruction Manual, the protruding ends of the spokes are removed with a file (only a few of them are noticeable), degreased, and OUTEX is installed.
Because the rim of the front wheel is narrow, OUTEXDouble-sided Tape stuck to the side of the groove, but because it is stretchable, there was no problem with adhesion of the Spoke nipple, and it did not get stuck when the tire was installed.
If you follow the Instruction Manual, there are no particular difficulties.

I put on the Tire by hand and raised the Bead with the Compressor, which is an on-board tool in the car.

After that, the double-sided tape was left at about 2.5 atmospheres for 30 minutes as per the Instruction Manual, and the pressure settled down to about 2 atmospheres.

I have driven about 500 km since the replacement, including Winding, and it is comfortable with no signs of air leakage.

In addition to the aluminum wheels, the front and rear springs are each more than 1 kg lighter than before, which has clearly improved acceleration and road-following performance (ride comfort), making driving more pleasant.

Although 10,000 yen may seem a bit steep for a mere double-sided tape, it is a reasonable price if you consider that you are buying peace of mind in terms of durability and workability. View detail

Clear Tubeless Kit

Fits: HONDA , HONDA FTR223

Japanese Webike user

4/5

Installed on FTR223 (Work should be done with plenty of time to spare.)

[How is it used?
Installed on FTR223.
Traveling:40km one way for commuting, touring, and circuit riding
I decided to use them for my long-distance commute, in order to make them tubeless and reduce the weight under the springs.
The front wheel was installed successfully, but the rear wheel failed.
Used for about 2 years.

Was the one you received as per Image?
At first glance, I was a little worried that the Kit would be too large and sturdy. I was worried that it might not be large enough, but it was well thought out and large enough.

Was the installation difficult?
At the time, I had only been riding motorcycles for a little over two years and my kill level was still low, so I took on the challenge of installing it myself. I thought it would be easy, but in reality, it was a difficult job that required a large amount of work.
As mentioned above, the front wheel is easy to work on due to its rim shape, and even though I didn't have enough skill, I was able to somehow install it and make it Tubeless.
On the other hand, the shape of the rear wheel is such that it is difficult to change the size of the wheel. (Kit construction area is very narrow) I was not able to install it properly and failed.
At that time, I couldn't assemble the tires by myself, so I had to bring the tires to the shop that was taking care of me at the time and have them re-fitted a couple of times, which made the president of the shop angry with me.
I removed the Kit from the air leak area and re-installed it, but I couldn't stop the air leak. I even tried using SiliconCoking agent, but it didn't work, so I had to use Rim only tube.
Factors for failure include.
Poor Rim shape
The work was not done carefully and in a timely manner according to the instruction manual.
The construction was done in early spring when the temperature was low.
Could not crimp with the proper tool.
I couldn't assemble the tire by hand, so I couldn't assemble the tire and crimp it using air pressure right after installing the kit.
The following are some examples.

How was your experience with it?
In the front, I was able to lower the risk during puncture due to the loss of the tube, and I realized that the turnaround of the corner was also improved.
Rear ended up not knowing what it did with the weight of Kit+SiliconCoking agent+Tube.
At the time, I didn't build tires by hand, but later, when I was able to build tires by hand, I found that not having a tube was easier to work with.

[Included Parts:were they on?
Yes. Please refer to the product description.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
The lack of Kill in my work.
I had no complaints about the Kit itself.

Point and hang of installation
Be sure to work carefully and with plenty of time.
Make sure to degrease the Rim thoroughly.
Crimping the Kit with a tool that can apply localized pressure with a round tip, such as a tire lever.
The Kit should be applied in the warmest season possible to increase the adhesiveness of the Kit.
When working in low temperatures, the Kit should be warmed up with a dryer and heat gun.
As soon as possible after the Kit installation is completed, the tires should be assembled and air pressure should be applied.
Do not damage the Kit with the tire lever when installing the tire. View detail

Installed on Z-WHEEL AR1Wheel (CRM250AR)

I installed a polishing bit on the wheel and carefully cut it, then removed the BALI with a file stick, and finished with sandpaper. If you don't have the confidence, please contact PRO. If you are not confident, it is better to leave it to the PRO. However, since the tube is gone, puncture repair has become much easier. (If it had a tube, it probably wouldn't run.) View detail

It's a bit of a hassle, but...

I installed the Tubeless Kit that I have been curious about for a long time at Timing Tire Replacement.
Fortunately, I haven't experienced puncture with my current W800, and I bought it more for the peace of mind of not losing air too rapidly even if I hit a nail than to reduce the repair cost when punctured.

If you follow the friendly instructions, you won't get lost.
The procedure is...
Remove the tire from the vehicle.
Drop the Bead of Tire.
Unplug the tube.
Remove the Tire from the Rim.
Finish the welding part of Rim to Beauty.
Spoke's Nipple tip BALI take.
Clean and degrease the inside of the Rim.
Paste the NippleTape to all parts.
Wrap the masking tape around it.
Wrap the Seal tape around both sides.
Wrap the heat-resistant protective seat.
Install Air Valve.
Tire installation.
Air leak confirmed.
Installation on the vehicle

It's easy to write, but it's quite troublesome.
If you don't cover the Nipple area beautifully, it will cause air leak. If you don't do the work well, you will have to reassemble the tires like I did. (Lol)
In addition, in the case of W800, there is a step on the rear wheel to make it difficult for the tire head to fall, and it is difficult to drop and raise the head.
Because of the above reason, I think it is difficult to inject air without using Compressor at once.
Also, I think it's better to change the Rear Air Valve to L-Type than the Straight Type that comes with the kit for easier air adjustment.

I've actually used it to...
First of all, I left it for about 2 weeks and drove about 200km as it was, but there was no air leak.
I think it's not bad.

As for the request, the width of the Seal tape on both sides is Limit, so I want you to make it a little thicker and the price is high.

It won't prevent Puncture, but it will give you more Tire options, and if you carry a Repair Kit, you can complete the repair on the spot.
LargeOne less thing to worry about on my favorite touring trip.

It took a lot of work, but I'm recommending it for vehicles other than the W800. View detail

Vibration Absorption Lever Guard OUTEX.VALG Straight Type

Fits: Others

Japanese Webike user

4/5

I think I can reduce the vibration.

When I am riding DL1000 V-STROM250, because my hand was numb every SA when cruising on the expressway, I came to purchase because I found this product while I did a lot of research!

I think the packaging was fine.
I got a beautiful one.

I chose the Type of VALG-S-16, I think it was Exactly!

The product comes with a detailed Instruction Manual and other information, so beginners should have no problem.
The DL1000 V-STROM250 has a habit of leaving Nut inside the Bar End when removing it, so please check before removing it.

What I personally found to be a problem was the tightening Torque.
The Instruction Manual says to tighten the M8 bolt to 25Nm, but I didn't have a tool on hand that could tighten it to 25Nm Torque.

I didn't know about the tightening torque until I read the instruction manual.
I couldn't be bothered to buy a new Torque wrench for this, so I had no choice but to do it by hand Torque!

If possible, I would have liked to see the required tools listed somewhere in advance!

I don't have any concerns about the appearance of the product.

Although I was wearing Inner Gloves, the performance of the bike was very good, and I was able to do my annual touring to Venus Line. (About 200 km one way) And the numbness is only slightly felt.
I've had enough change to recover quickly after a break.
It's pretty dramatic, and I think the longer the distance, the better the performance will be.

In the first place, Lever Guard itself is very expensive, but if Lever Guard + vibration reduction for this amount of gold, the cost is relatively good, isn't it? I feel that

I'm generally satisfied.

I can't say anything about it as I haven't tightened it to the prescribed Torque, but I am concerned that the Lever might drop with a little vibration or contact.
To be honest, I'm not convinced, but I'm not sure if I want to buy the Torque wrench. View detail

Tubeless

Although it cannot be said with a loud voice, because this transparent Double-sided Tape was used at work, it thought that it would do it by itself at first. However, when I checked out the wide one at a certain famous store, I found that it was very expensive. If the protective tape, Valve for Tubeless, and the procedure manual are attached, this price is also unavoidable. After obtaining, when Wheel is opened, the mark which shaved the mountain of welding is too much shaved. If I make the shaving mark completely beautiful, it becomes flat only there and it doesn't become a circumference no matter how I think. The procedure has no material to judge how far it should be driven in such a case. It would have been nice if there was a photo printed in Large format, like "Large is strong enough for this degree from construction results. After the installation, there is no air leak and I feel the front is lighter. I should have done it earlier. View detail
