I am considering ordering a bias belt tubeless motorcycle tire. I have been unable to contact the seller to ask if it ok to add a tube. Considering it is not a radial tire I believe it to be ok. What do you think?
I do it all the time. Customer has a new tire and gets a flat, I just put a tube in the tire. However I dont do with this with sport bikes. Only cruisers and touring models.

its a tube ( in a nutshell) angled to your wheel well most likely with a filter cone on the end to receive cold air rather then the heated air in the engine bay i wouldnt drive with them during the winter very very prone to hydrolock
Depends on what your riding and how you ride it! When you find yourself asphalt surfing face down at high speeds it's a little too late to be thinking of the $150 saved by using an old tire (you did state contacting seller discard a tire dated over 5 years old!
If your bike has usual spoked wheels, then there are already tubes installed. Unless the tires are dying of historic age and have by no means been converted on the grounds that new, the rubber around the valve stem is dry rotted or they've been patched before, then the historic tubes should be ok. If for some rationale your bike has air tight wheels, then don't set up tubes. Each brand has went to tubeless tires on virtually each wheeled computer there is for a very good motive. In case you run a nail by way of a tire with a tube, it'll lose air VERY rapidly and you will not even have time to tug off the street earlier than you're riding on the edges. A tubeless tire will seal around small objects like a screw, nail or piece of wire and will either leak very slowly, if at all. A couple of years ago I had a sheet rock screw run by means of my rear bike tire and it took it 3 days to move flat.
