I am pretty sure this has been discussed before and I will make time to go trolling through posts as I have time but the question is:
Since my first intro to the Tiger 800 in 2013/4, my only gripe with the Tiger 800 has been the tubes, and today I sat for just under 2 hours on the side of the freeway with a front flat (a puncture while lane splitting gets interesting), has made me a bit more determined to investigate this.
The tools that come with the Tiger are not sufficient to remove the front wheel either so some extra tools are required.
What options do you have to go tubeliss or at least reasonably puncture proof a Tiger 800 and how successfull are they?
My bike needs to pretty much be a 50/50 bike and able to do longish distances, the "offroad" is not going to be terribly technical or high speed, mostly gravel and servitude roads.
Thanks
