Kenda K262 Installed

[maiko]

Happy with them so far just scooting around the ranch (mostly unpaved). Stock tires would lose grip in grass and sand easily. These are the 2.75” and fit great.

They look good, the trials tread works well on these bikes. Or at least they do on mine, way better than the stock tires.

I like the look.
Still stock fender height?
Where did you purchase?

Stock fender height. Bought at Dennis Kirk online.

Thanks.

i'll probably go that way when the stockers wear out. they look good.

Turns out my dealer is a Kenda dealer.
I ordered mine this morning.
30 day back order.
I may get to try them out in the snow.

 

[fmdualexhaust]

Tires are 10 days out.
Took my first spill yesterday when the front tire washed out.
These stock tires are really bad in the mud.

 

[r80rt]

Yes they are, the front will wash out on dirt roads too, I changed mine out the first two weeks I had it.

These look perfect. Debating getting a 2.75 for front and 3" for rear... anyone have this setup?

How are these tires treating you now? I have a pair that I am waiting to install but want to be sure I don’t want to swap for the 3” 244s first.

Working great. However I don’t have a lot of miles and only ride when dry. 80/20 off/on-road. Confident grip on grass/dirt/gravel farm roads.

Someone running the K262's - what kind of life did you get out of the tire before it needed replacement?

thats pretty subjective to riding style, terrain, and whatever weight is loaded down. IMHO, anything over 5k would be exceptional. . i would guess 3k on average?. I killed my stock rear tire in about that.

How did the 3 inch work out for the rear?

I'm somewhat looking for a subjective answer here because of all those factors, but relative to the stock tires is a good gauge.

ona similar sized bike many years ago, i ran these and got in the ballpark of 3k out of the rear, front was more. was on a suzuki enduro that was street legal, and had more power. If that helps.

Were you able to use the stock tire tubes on the 262 2.75-17 ?

 

[dmonkey]

The OEM inner tubes will fit a 2.75-17 tire fine.
