So, I have an apology. My mate took my wheels and his wheels down to get all 4 tyres swapped to our new supermaxxs down to Sheldon Motorcycles, and to be fair to the bloke there, he changed all 4 tyres and balanced them for 30quid, which I don’t think is too bad really.
The tyres look very nice, even if the guy at Sheldons was questioning whether they are road legal. If anyone is wondering, yes they are. I checked after I saw a picture of them. haha. They look like a cut slick.
Anyways, I won’t get a chance to test them till Sunday at the earliest, but going to get them fitted on the bike tomorrow so may bless you with some piccys!

Oh! p.s. never mentioned, but Pete, cheers for the advice. DK sold me a set for £119! 120/70 front and 180/55 rear. And my mate’s were £114, with a 120/60 front and 160/60 rear.

I would take it back to the place that fitted them and get them re-balanced.

Sheldon Motorcycles, or I may venture over to Wheelhouse in Coleshill

edit: I am sorry if I upset anyone who reads this from Sheldon Motorcycles, but you can be a bit mardy sometimes!

Just waiting for Fedex to arrive! I am guessing it may be tomorrow now. Then will get them swapped at the weekend at the local scammy-bastard bike shop

is the kid in blue there to perform lifesavers or signals?

[Champs]

Cheers Del, will have a look at that option.

was just looking at ordering a set of supermaxx sports, however they seem to only do 120/60 or 120/70 for the front. My current profile in 120/65. It doesn’t sound much but which one would everyone suggest. I am guessing 60 is more stable but slower to turn in and the 70 will be a bit more twitchy but quicker to turn in.
Correct?

[Champs]

Its not an 848 though Not that this reply helps in anyway, haha

[Champs]

nurbergring’s got a decent straight

i was going to name certain uk motorways too, but I am not being held responsible.

Happy new year everyone, I am starting it in style with a couple of soluble co-codamols for my hangover!!

Good idea with the buckle, I bought a set but never really used them as the zx6r (j1) has very comfy and supportive grabs. Which is a shock for a sportsbike. The seats still crap though! haha

[Champs]

whats in newark?

[Champs]

indeed, here’s to a more successful biking year in 2010. Until then… the bike’s currently packed away and there’s lager in my belly!
