Tubeless ? THAT WOULD BE GREAT ! However ,I don't think this is true. I've been running tubes for 7 years now in my Mags. I pretty sure I read here somewhere, That most older KZ rims require a tube for each tire.
Something to do with the Cast rim being porous.
I hope I'm wrong. If this has changed in the last 5 or so years please disregard this.

Please Read the entire thread titled "Tube or Tubless'78 KZ 1000 Ltd. Mags" for a complete explanation .
Well one thing I didn't see in the replies is with a mag you can be tubeless, spokes will require a tube.
Spokes seem to get settled in after a while, reducing the tightening maintenance, but the first few services it is often overlooked.
