Motorcycle Tire Changes?

I am recently new to the motorcycle world and just now finding out tricks of the trade. So here it goes.My rear tire was originally a TUBED tire. I am having a difficult time finding a replacement tire since apparently they don‘t make the size anymore (not too common) and all the tires that would fit on it are tubeless tires. Other then attaching a valve stem to the rim, will I have problems going from tube to tubeless? What other changes do I need to make?

Answer:

not enough info in the question but will answer. IF THE RIM HAS SPOKES THEN YOU MUST USE A TUBE but there is no problem putting a tube in a tubeless tire. if you really want to go tubeless then you need a rim that is not a spoked one
No you wouldn't have to do anything other than the valve stem. The tube was likely put on as the tire you had on leaked. You should be good with a tubeless tire.
