With the tubliss setup with sealant, do you have to worry about leaving your bike sit for a few weeks and coming out to a lump of hardened sealant in the bottom of your tires? I don't get to ride except once ever week or two.

What kind of sealant would you be using?

IMO the best sealant is Stan's. Yes, it tends to ball up a bit, but in a motorcycle dirt tire that has little bearing on performance. Frankly when it comes tire changing time, Stan's is easier to clean out than Slime and many other sealants out there. The latex "wads" that form with Stan's are light and soft, so they do little to affect the tire's balance or any other issue for that matter.
