Yes, but it's a bit more complicated because the wheels are rated for tubes but the tyres are tubeless. Because nowadays no one makes tyres for tubes. Some people run them without tubes but I've never had any luck with that because the holes are not made for the standard valve and I've not gone as far as drilling them out due to the design. The discussions on this subject have been going on for a long time in airhead circles!
But basically, yes, I tried inflating with a a track pump to around 40 but it needed 60 with the valve out on a compressor and plenty of lube. I will try with the valve out on a track pump and go a bit higher on the pressure when I do the rear later today.
I'm guessing motorcross tyres and rims are built for tubes so have a different shape or I need to do a better job of cleaning the inside of the rim.

Actually fitted my first motorbike tyre today. Only damaged one inner tube. I fail to see how this can be achieved at the roadside when it takes a compressor to seat the bead, maybe they're easier once they've been in use for a while.
Got to do the rear now.
