• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

How much difference would there be running a tube in a tubeless tire as oppossed to running a tubeless tire?

( this would be on a 2009 SM610 )
 
I'm not sure I understand the original question. If you have a 2009 SM610 with unmodified stock wheels, you are better off running a tube whether the tire is tubeless or not. :-) There are products/methods to cover over the spoke holes for converting to tubeless but not many people go to the bother with that on a 610.

Sorry ,
Is there any performance differences when you are running a Tube in a Tubeless tire? As opposed to running a Tube in a Tube tire?
 
weight is the biggest difference I suspect. Tubes are rotating, un-sprung mass so keeping that to a minimum is a huge benefit but the reality is that probably 90% of supermoto riders run tubes.

I guess it depends more on what specific tires you're talking about rather than if you use a tube or not. Most SM bikes use tubes with tubeless tires. Not for performance reasons, just because most wheels need tubes and most sportbike tires are tubeless. At least that's my understanding after having a SM for a couple/few years. What tube type tire are you considering using?
