That does not mean that that the tires require tubes in all situations. AZ Rider's quote is from the 900 service manual and is accurate. It is a description of the tires themselves, not this application of the tires.

Actually,if you look at your tires they will say "tube type" on them.
When the service manual states "tubeless" that means the bike has no tube. I still cant figure out what gives.

bluestringer Spoked wheels require tubes because the air will leak out where the spokes are in the wheel. They have an rubber inner band around the inside with the tube.

Not always. There are spoked wheels on the market that are tubeless. I thought maybe Kawi had used them on our bikes.
One thing,something doesnt jive.
