FAQs

What type of motorcycle is this tire designed for?

This specific Dunlop D408 Front Tyre (130/80B17 65H) is designed for 2009 FL touring models.

Is this tire a tubeless or tube-type tire?

This is a tubeless (TL) tire.

How do I clean the whitewall?

Use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and water. Gently scrub the whitewall and rinse clean.

What does the '65H' rating mean?

'65' is the load index, indicating the maximum weight the tire can carry. 'H' is the speed rating, indicating the maximum speed the tire is designed for.

Can I use this tire on a motorcycle other than a 2009 FL touring model?

While theoretically possible if dimensions match, it is strongly recommended to use tires that are specifically recommended by your motorcycle manufacturer for optimal safety and performance. Always check your owner's manual for correct size, load, and speed ratings.

How does the lateral-grip compound help?

The specialized compound on the sides of the tire enhances grip when the motorcycle is leaned over during cornering, providing increased stability and confidence.

What is a reinforced multi-layer tire carcass?

It refers to the internal structure of the tire, made of multiple layers of strong materials. This provides the tire with maximum strength, durability, and resistance to deformation.

Troubleshooting

Uneven tire wear

Ensure correct tire pressure is maintained and the motorcycle's wheel alignment is properly set. Consult a professional technician if wear is premature or irregular.

Whitewall discoloration

Clean gently with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the rubber or coating.

Vibrations during riding

Check tire balance and wheel rim for damage. Ensure the tire is correctly seated on the rim. Professional inspection may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a tubeless (TL) tire and requires mounting on a compatible tubeless wheel rim. Professional mounting by a qualified technician is recommended to ensure proper seating and sealing. Always adhere to the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure, which can be found in your motorcycle's owner's manual.

Compatibility: The Dunlop D408 Front Tyre, model 130/80B17 65H, is specifically designed for 2009 FL touring models. Before purchasing, always verify the tire size, load index (65), and speed rating (H) against your motorcycle's specifications in the owner's manual or on the existing tire.

Care: Regularly inspect the tire for wear, damage, or foreign objects. Clean the whitewall sections with mild soap and water and a soft brush or cloth to maintain their appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber. Ensure proper storage if the motorcycle is not in use for extended periods, ideally in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
