Hey Mollydog,
I updated my profile so I'm not just a "N/A" member!
Thanks for that info - I took your advice and ordered 2 heavy duty tubes for the bike - one is a 150/17 and the other a 120/19. Im also looking into tyres but agree with you that the TKC 80 is a great front tyre - there rear tyre wears quicker than the Karoo's hence the reason I went to Karoo 3 tyres - there an awesome tyre - they do well on the road as well as the dirt - if only they lasted a tad longer!
I spoke to my local BMW store today. They said the light issue is a no concern and fuses - well I could carry spares but don't have to cause if a fuse blows then its not going to stop the bike from starting but then again fuses are like 1 gram in weight so I think it won't hurt to take a few spare.
Problem I've had with Mitas or Meto tyres is they don't make one wide enough for the BMW - the widest tyre I've seen is a 150 but I'll have another search now and let you know if I find anything wider!
Catch ya later mate
Ben
