Nortoon--you're running the BT54s with tubes?
Has anyone here managed to get new OEM Dunlops, thru a dealership or some parts place like Bike Bandit?
I assume the dealer did not remove them.
If you ride the Information Highway you will find some say it is OK, others no. My decision was made because I could not find the proper sizes I needed in the motocross section of the parts dealer's websites.
As I remember, which isn't much at my age, the Dunlop D205 SPORTMAX Touring motorcycle tires that were on the 2017 EX were a radial tire. But if someone wants to go out to the garage to prove me wrong I wouldn't be offended.
R means radial, correct? Then yes, the the Dunlop d205 sportmax on the '17ex is a radial.
