New BSR Raven

Majik · 03-06-2023, 09:40 AM

Greetings! I'm now awaiting my Raven and planning a few upgrades. Rotella T4 to start and a digital dash to install as I prep the bike. Need a bit of advice, please, as pertains to tire tubes. I've read that in the past these Hawk variants had thin and inadequate tubes. Have read too that the more recent units have improved tire tubes. Should I install heavy duty tubes to start or are the OEM tubes adequate? I do plan to do some light trail riding with the Raven.

Mainly the actual RPS Hawk is the one that tended to come with thin tubes, mostly the earlier carbed bikes. Not aure if that is still the case. Most Bashan bikes seem to come with slightly better stuff out of the box.
