What is CTS? Do you mean car tires? Are those words too big for you? Your whole point about this imaginary service interval is someone with a car tire would be missing out on it, plus if you didn't realize we are in the section of the forum about car tires.

If you are telling people to go to the dealer and spend money you should have some facts to back it up. Like I said there is lube on mine, in fact on all the shaft drive bikes I have had I never had any of the grease dry out.

Nope,
it's NOT B.S.,
they DO indeed need lubed occasionally.
I figure about every 10,000 miles wouldn't hurt.
It's easy enough to take the rear wheel off and do it.
I recommend the Honda moly 60,
its kinda expensive,
but alot cheaper than a new rear end.
Pull your rearend off and check the splines yourself,
maybe yours don't need lubed.
Mine did.
But then,
maybe I just ride more aggressivly than some do.
JM2CW,
skip

As far as the original question on tire mounting goes.
I took the old tire still mounted and the new tire to a
independent small time operation tire dealer.
He removed the old and mounted the new for $20.00.
Did say he'd never seen one just like that, but had no trouble,
either dismounting or remounting.
30 minutes later I was on the road again.

Guys Guys Guys, I'm would be the first to throw a rock at Im##@@$t because he normally is so full of **** when it comes to The Darkside but the splines he is I assume refering to are in the tube from the engine to the diff to insect them when you happen to have the wheel of by undoing the lower shock mount and the four bolts attaching it to the swingarm tube and as far as intervals are concerned the time it takes to wear out CT should be sufficent and using a hi- pressure grease like Honda moly 60 would be best for the the job.
I can't beleive I actually agreeded with some thing he said but then the Jerk did hijack the thread so for f##k sake why don't you leave us Darksiders alone or join us, get your narrow mind in gear you might even enjoy it

Back on Topic Find a independant tyre fitter and buy the tyre from him as long as he will fit it for free my local even went to the trouble to get extentions for his machine so the disk can stay put
