Thanks for the info! Changing the rear tire is easy on this bike. I got 3,300 miles out of the stock perellis. The bore of the hub is too large to work with my balancing stand so I'll have to figure something out or get it balanced at a shop.
I also put on frame, bar end and axle sliders. My steering bearings are binding probably due to the missing seal recall. I have an appointment to get that fixed Friday but my dealer acts like they don't know anything about the recall. I hope they don't try to stick me with a repair bill. I never got the email that others received about the recall/TSB.
