Re: Tyres, Tyres, Tyres

Might be worth changing the plugs if its been sat around a while.

too technical for me to do  

just felt a bit rough (vibrations from engine via tank) at lo/mid revs - felt ok when giving it some?

fuck me that's bad
 tank off
 unplug
 undo
 put in
 tighten up
plug in
repeat 3 more times
tank back on
ride the bastard .....smile

Mate, it's a sports bike, it doesn't come alive till 8 or 9,000 revs - Triple it aint!!

 

[Bobtra69]

not sure where we are off but maybe hawes pal, dont worry about confidence pal at all it comes with riding the dam thing, never any pressure to go fast anyway, always ride at YOUR pace....

yeah, except I think I'm coming!!   

[Bobtra69]

Weather looking good for tomorrow, been up to Ribblehead today for lunch at Station Inn, roads were pretty good, rain yesterday washed off most of the salt, good few bikes out today.

Hmmmm tyres! I remember them from ages ago ;-)

[Jimbob]

There the things you have to buy jim...

[JACKO71]

he hasnt bought any for years.....

[Jimbob]

He is going to have a shock when he goes to buy some as they no a couple of shillings anymore!

[Guest]

Shock horror! For those that don't already know, I actually purchased a brand new set of tyres for the bike! Yes I know, scary huh. This all happened a couple of weeks ago and I ve been out twice since then, two up they seemed ok, one up, had the back tyre light up on a wet patch whilst out on Sunday! I'm hoping this isn't a sign of things to come, otherwise, I'll riding like big nose in the wet/damp!!! 

[Robby]

What tyres did you get?

[Bobtra69]

he bought Avon, Storms I think, black n round anyway.

Need to do a ring round meself for the ZX. Discovered they are a little illegal after my last ride out. Doh!

Fancy some road legal slicks like Supercorsas or Michelin Power Ones I do.

[Robby]

i found it worked out cheaper inc fitting to get mine from BLD - cheaper than tyres in scholes by around £15

[Bobtra69]

Ring round done, 2CTs £226 fitted at Bike tyres leeds. don't do the Power One Cup anymore, replacement Pilot Supersport is £280.00.

Jordans have Dunlop Qualifiers on an even more special offer than normal - £160 fitted!

Have Qualifiers on italian old knocker and rate them highly for that bike, supersticky but don't last long.

However, not sure if ZX will rip them apart....

Still if I get a summer of my kind of riding and two track days out them I'll be happy. Booked in for Sat before Egg Run, nice way to scrub em in.

[Bobtra69]

Please fuck off with the stupid name changing thing - italian old knocker should read aprilia dorsoduro!

[Guest]

Ha ha ha so its not just me who's getting names changed! In my last post I put riding like big nose and it was changed to big nose, which is fair enough ;-) tyres I bought were as Big Balls Big Balls Big Balls Bob said, Avon storm 2s, got good write ups for dry riding, not so good for wet! But dual compound for £145 a pair, can't argue with that :-)

[Bobtra69]

Big Balls Big Balls Bob I don't mind so much but italian old knocker is getting upset - it's 59 plate, it's not old!

Should have some fun if we get a wet summer then! hope you have plenty of washing powder for your under crackers!

OK admin, its not funny anymore, stop changing our posts please!

[Bobtra69]

Tyres fitted, was still in two minds whether to go Dunlops or Michelins this morning but opted for Dunlops. Will be interesting to see the wear on the ZX, Mike at Jordans has just bought '07 ZX10R as well and he is going to try the Qualifiers on it. He had amajor off at Cadwell a month after buying it, ouch! £900 worth of damage. Was on old Pirelli Corsas, blames the tyres!

[Jimbob]

Just had 2cts put on mine again as couldnt decide so opted to stay on what i know

[JACKO71]

I will be defo having another angel gt, done well for si far good mileage etc etc.
