I am not being sarcastic and I'm learning as I go. I grew up riding Honda crf 100s in pretty open pastures with easy truck access (in the event they quit running). So I was originally going to run these tires until they were fubar and split open, because they have tubes. But I talked myself into ordering tubes, tires, and the rim strips for replacement today. I've dropped close to $300, and as someone who is teaching myself to work on bikes via YouTube, I am wondering if I made the right call or if these could have more life in them. I just don't want to be stuck on a trail in a national forest with a blown tire. Did I make the right call in choosing to replace these? I will largely be trail riding in North Georgia and Southern Tennessee, so there is a little bit of Rocky terrain. The tires at Likely original as the bike is 09 and so are the stamps on the tires. They do hold air and I have driven around on pavement for probably 5 mi on them.

Hello all!

I recently bought a 2009 tw200 in a "barn find" situation where the bike has been sitting for 3 years. The carb appears to be new and hardly used /new. I have cleaned out the old fuel line and clarke tank, replaced the battery and ensured the bike is getting power via the lights. My new solenoid comes in today. I bridged the old one and found that the starter turns over. The spark plug is cleaned and is getting spark.

My question is: if the bike does not crank and run after I install the new solenoid, what else should I consider?

Ps. I am trying to mitigate expenses as I go in the event that I need to sell. I will replace tires and change oil, and filter then.

Thanks y'all.
