New old guy here:
Try removing rim lock from front wheel. Take it for a ride on the slab and see if vibration is gone. You will notice front vibration more than rear. If you still have a front vibration put bike on stand deflate tire and break side walls from rim.
Now spin wheel assy to find heavy spot. It will be on the bottom when wheel stops spinning. Mark rim and tire with tape. Now move tire on rim 90 degrees one way or the other. Spin again and let stop to find heavy spot.
Cheap way to balance tire with no wieghts to loosen and fall off.

Do the same with rear wheel but leave rim lock in place but loosen so tire will slid on rim.
You will get your hands dirty but will know your bike better.
If you get a front flat and don't want to fix it ge some large cable ties from a airconditiong dealer. they are very large and tough. Will keep your tire on rim so you can ride back to the truck.
Good luck,

installed mine yesterday after my 1st ride on my new kendas and $30 woods tube. spun the tube ruined a perfect day @ uwharrie lucky i 2 hrs of good riding before i ripped the valve. never had a problem with the stock tires. but put on a good set of ***** and i think your just asking for trouble

 

Tore my stock tube in 5 minutes and had a 30 minute ride back with a flat on rocks, rimlocks and Bridgestone Ultra Heavy Duty tubes are mandatory now!

 

Yup! Rear rim locks are mandatory on these bike unless you run very high psi.

I was at 32psi when it happened, rim locks no matter what psi is the way to go.

 

32 psi? I don't know, skubi...that's pretty hard to spin any tire at that pressure. Maybe your tire had a slow leak and the tire spun on the rim when pressure got down low enough? I've run big knobbies on big bore dirt bikes since 1985 to the present, and with 25 psi in the rear tire, not one has spun the tire even in very gnarly terrain. I'm not sure where the "too low" magic number actually is, as I'm sure it varies some depending on tires, rim design, and the bike's power. I just know 25 psi was enough. 32 psi should have been more than enough.

 

I went with tire ***** no more rim locks or tbes.

 

Jeepers, I think it busted from too much pressure, scoobs.

 

Of the tubeless options out there there, that's the one that seems the best to me. I just wish they weren't so expensive. I'll get a set someday, though. Just not now, seems my son has taken an interest so I'm working on saving up to get him a bike so we can ride together.

Speaking of which, is anyone interested in a front Tubliss 21"? Installed once, but removed. Regularly $100. Looking to get $75, comes with everything in the kit less 1 high pressure tube. The kit had two, one of mine busted (my mistake, I'm sure), so I have one left. I think they are pretty cheap to replace, though, if you need a spare. If interested PM me. The money is going for a good cause - putting a new rider on his own bike, which will likely be a used smoker.
