Ordered new Metzeler Z6 @about 2:00 pm. Package was allready on the freakin FedEx truck @ 5:41pm and arrived @ fedex terminal @ 8:00pm. ALL TODAY. This is silly fast service Oh and the rear Z6 cost $142.00 OTD www.SportTour.com And to think i allmost bought from the stealer.. jeeesh

Well concidering what iv been learning here i guess the Z4 is out of the question now. I'm a big metzeler fan since i tried my first set of m1's but seeking a durability factor like their Z6, and i am being seduced by thr road 2's dual compound. I 'm gonna buy tonight and don't know what the hell to choose. oohh the agony And then there were two... :icon_think: Pilot Road ^2 vs The Z6 Thanks again for the replies guys NEVERMIND/ According to stealer, New Michelin Pilot Road2 not available in USA til Late fall 07 just europe for now soo Z6 here i come.

This is the one i saw on metzeler.com btw, I got the feeling from the description on the site that this was a sportier sport-touring tire than the Z6 but i guess thats incorect. tnx for the info redbird

M1 rear gotta go, looking for something more durable but concerned about the Z6's repution for being hard/slippery in cold weather. Any truth to this and how about Z4 rear?

I dropped 1 in front, two up in rear.....Prepare to do half of the quarter mile on a pogo stick. :twisted: BTW I have a Sprocket Specialists aluminum rear with litening holes that has held up fine for 5k. FWIW

:lmao:

This sounds to me like your clutch isn't fully disengaging? I have the same problem and believe it's caused by an air leak (bubbles) i have in my clutch line (exact location of leak not sure yet). But i allready know i have an air leak; whens the last time you blead your clutch fluid? FWIW

Hot gas is greater in volume than the same quantity of gas cold, and increasing the volume would make it move quicker (like a teakettle's whistle)but not evacuate the chamber quicker. Depends wether the coefficient of expansion is or isn't greater than the coefficient of flow. duz that make sense? But like you said, that should just gain you looks. :roll:

No prob, and BTW just did front axle and bearings and guess what .... . . . . . . yep, no change. :evil: So, on with computrack and stem check/replacement.Stems aint cheap either damnit. Will post. the Fuct

Pretty pathetic if u think about, Not shure if i even registered on the speedo? :oops:

Anyone know about or used Computracks services?$$$?

Goddamnit i never even concidered that and i just did my fecking head bearings. you know what, i just towedmy bike a ways and noticed the wheel seemed a little crooked (not plumb) as compared to the rest of the front, and since i found the forks to be straight then you gotta be right. I'm gonna call computrack for an estimate on measuring, then look into this stem idea closer. Thanks alot for the help.

Yes there is matter of fact, right down the street lol... lucky me. thanks.

I layed down the bird few years doing (15mph over sand) has tracked crooked ever since. simple enough. I have removed and rolled the forks on glass plate and found no bend to speak of, reinstalled carefully after head bearing replacement. no change. i installed new front wheel bearings, still crooked. Now the manual and common knowledge leads me to the smingarm (i feel speed was too slow for bent frame but i am often wrong), but how do i udjust check swingarm? And before you ask about rear axle alignment, i rechecked many times and the only thing that has worked at all (for test purposes) was angling the rear axle slightly towards the left which inturn slightly straightens things but seems to be foolhardy when concidering it as a solution. Any ideas? help appreciated. thanx the Fuct

Sounds like a fuel vapor vent for the tank. But, your from cali so that vent should go to a canister. Cali model?
