As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

hey everyone I have a 1982 Suzuki GS 750 T and I am getting new tires changed. The guy who was changing my tires says I need a tube. It wrote tubeless on the tire but he is saying I need tubs. just want to know if these tires come with tubes in them
 
The tire is not the only part that is involved in holding air. Some of the early WHEELS (your '82 might be one of them) are not certified for tubeless use, so the use of a tube is recommended.

No, the tires do not come with tubes, they must be purchased seperately.

Also wondering, ... how does this fall into the "Apearance" category? :-k

Probably should have been in the "Tires/Suspension/Brakes" category.

What Steve says. The wheel will say "tubeless tire applicable" along the rim if you don't need a tube on it. If you don't see that anywhere, assume it needs a tube. Most (all?) tires can be used with a tube even if they say tubeless on them.

There was a thread on this recently where some people said they have run tubeless tires on a wheel not marked as such and haven't had any problems. But my instinct is to use a tube where Suzuki says you should.

And don't assume that both tires are the same... on my bike, the front needed a tube while the rear did not. (So if you're in the market for a 17" tube, let know, I have one to sell. :))
 
If you have tube wheels I don't think you can put a tubeless valve stem in without machining the wheel.
