So the Hawk is complete......first ride one mile rear tube pop......so now I get to pull it all the way off and look for debri inside the tire or a bur to try n fix the problem before I put a new tube in. And I'm not even going to wait around for the dealer to send one I'll just go pick one up. Anybody know what the tube size is off hand. Im also searching tubless conversions

Yea its sad but honestly i assume the tubes areabout equal to bike tire tubes its at my local honda shop getting a heavy duty tube put in it i just hope they get it done before they close today or else ill be waiting till monday. Little stuff like this is not even trying to get something out of the dealer for just faster and alot less head ache to fix it and move on with life lol. Now if in less than a years time the motor drops out or transmission issues then ill deal with the dealer on that but just not worth my time to even bother and honestly that goes for all dealers on everything ive ever bought lol.

I don't blame you there. I wouldn't want to wait around on dealer for a tube. The shop I take my rebel to changes out the tube when I get new tires and they always put some sort of tape (not sure what it actually is) on the inside of the rim to keep the spoke heads from rubbing the tube. He showed me what my first tube looked like without the taping and it was almost worn through in a couple places.

Kinda of salty today got both bill of sale and mco for the scooter but not for the hawk. I wonder why that is maybe they mailed them in different envelopes.

I put Kenda Tuff Tubes in anything I replace. The majority of these stock China tubes are made by Trojan.....but condoms are thicker and tougher. Blowing a tube is not surprising.

I would imagine they probably did mail them separately just as a precaution.
