I have a 2021 Aventure with ,
less than 400 Miles. I haven't ridden much in 3 yrs to to a leg injury on the bike and 8 month surgeries, recovery. Extended illness and death of family member,cleaning out house,sell property,etc. Life happens. I am 72 yrs old, have been hesitant to ride mentally, after the injury, finally getting ready to ride. The bike has been stored indoors. Battery is good. I am assuming my tires are good, No leaks,cracks, they hold air. Should I consider replacing them? I'm not very handy, live alone .. need a dependable bike. I have a bad leg that causes some problems ,at times. A breakdown and a long walk,not a good scenario for me. When I got hurt, I rode 3 miles home on throttle with a broken leg .
Should I replace the tires? If so, any suggestions? When its time, I'm considering tires that are 3 in width,puncture resistant if I can find something... suggestions? 95% of my riding is on pavement.I don't live in the greatest area to ride, lots of fast traffic on the roads, not very friendly too bikes. No bike lanes, have to watch your butt, or you want have one. A few close calls. That's why I quit riding a motorcycle after years, a bike in this area is more dangerous in some ways. I do have a couple of greenways close by, I plan to ride on these at some point. A bit of a hassle loading a bike this heavy in my truck very often, but still doable for me. Almost consider a folder for this . I may need to replace my chain,but tires are my main concern
