    Probably the noobiest question yet but uh does a 1983 yamaha seca 900 require inner tubes or what scenario would you use inner tubes.

    Inner tubes were needed with spoke wheels. All "modern" bikes with alloy wheel should be fitted with tubeless tires, no need for inner tubes, unless the rims leak air...

    Inner Tubes are not Standard on the 900.

    If you do a Tire Check and find something like a fragment of a shipping-box staple stuck in a New Tire, ... and when you pull it out ... you wished you didn't find it and take it out ... because the tiny puncture is hissing ... instead of Plugging the hole ... you take-out the Valve Stem and go for the Tube.
