front tire, quick question

[hellogrish]

hello there

guys, I know that this topic is very popluar on this forum
but as my Paso is being serviced now and front tyre really needs to be replaced
I`d like to know how to deal with it.
is the best way to put 130x70x16 while raising front guard?
any suggestions what kind of tyre to buy?

and guys, what is that round thing at the front of the bike (on left side)
near carburetor i think. (with numbers from 1 to 6 as far as I remember)
as even my mechanic ask me this question

thanks a lot!

I dont know about the tire but the round thing is it shaped like a cylinder????? sounds like the fuel pump maybe

I noticed nobody chimed in on your tire question, its a very complicated question that require different solutions you'll probably have to read the (many many many) threads to get up to speed on it. the michelin tires are still coming up on ebay occasionally so make sure your monitoring that. good luck

This sounds like you are describing a fuel regulator
