Do any of you know what tube size I'm supposed to be using on a rear Africa Twin with 150/70 R18 ?? I think I had a bigger tube in it before but stuck a 3.25/3.50 18RP in it today. I mean it feels fine but I have no idea if this is the right tube or if I should be changing it? OEM tubes don't have their size listed and I have found it kinda hard to figure out the size thing. At the time it fit and I didn't care. But now that I'm home should I be changing it?
Thanks

PS, after pumping it up twice and finding a shop it cost $11 bucks for the tube + labor.

Made a deal to sell the scooter yesterday. For a foreigner to buy/sell a bike here you have to get a resident paper from immigration. It's under 10 bucks but kinda a PITA to go wait in line at immigration to get it. I paid the extra 6 bucks for an agency to deal with it. He's going to immigration Monday.

Was kinda funny. It was a Russian guy with a Russian lady. He didn't speak a word of English so it was me and the lady communicating. Anyway, he rode the bike around the condo and we were talking. She asked for a discount on the bike, I said no. Then she says discount for my beautiful eyes kinda fluttering her eyes. I said if it's like that you shouldn't have brought him. We both laughed. Then I just showed her the list of msg's of people that have msg'd me (26 people). I think I under priced it by about 100-150usd?? We shook hands and are meeting Tuesday with all of our paperwork.

There's no sales tax here so you can change bikes for 300b/$8.69usd. So it's no big deal to change depreciated bikes every year or 2 and the Aerox hurts my back. If I buy another scooter it's guna have motorcycle style foot pegs (no tray) and exposed handlebars that can easily be adjusted.

An old pic of the scooter.

My new ear plugs arrived from Lazada, didn't realize I ordered pink(color was in Thai). So ya, I'll be the dude rockin pink ear plugs. Kinda struggling to find lower profile ear plugs that fit in this new helmet. They all fit in the older 950 but the new AT960 has less room and pushes on the ones that stick out.
