Pete it is called Track-Bite :cool:

At extreme cold temps your fork oil will gel up thus causing a stiffer front end

:cool:

Who said anything about be abused , I am playing you like a fine tuned piano , now who's the moron :twisted: PS: I am done with you

One would be enough. PS- it's losing, and I think you meant members- moron. I only wish someday I can be as Intelligent and good speller just like you redbird , whats your secret

Once again thanks for the entertainment you guys are loosing more menbers than you realize :wink:

Thanks for the Intelligent response :grin: Just asked a question, but I forgot who I was talking to :roll: PS: notice I never called you a name or Insulted you :wink: and I am the one thats a moron :roll:

Don'nt forget to post your 1/4 mile time and MPH :grin: and can guess your MPH based on your project, but what the hell do I know :wink:

Warchild I have the same set-up grips and Vista cruise, and I also trimed off the edge of the grip, great combo :cool: Harry

Most likley me, been using these grips for the last 6 years , first on my ST-1100, then on the bird, the grips on the bird have over 50,000 miles them drove another bird which had gel grips on, K12 grips are far supieror in my opinion Harry

I can think of a few: :wink: You just realizied your tire is shot and its Sunday The closest dealer is 50 miles away and tells you in about two days we can mount them :sad: They don'nt have the tire in stock you want :sad: They don,nt have the right size in stock :sad: The dealer has the upper hand and you will pay full price :sad: Harry

Well Tim word on the streets is: theirs a new tire out called the Avon 45/46 :wink: , I think one, no make that two guys here on the forum are using them :wink: . Just when you sloved one problem then another one shows up :wink: Harry

Why put yourself in that situation :???: , takr the Macadems off, put on a new set, then put the Macadems back on for local riding :wink: , Nothing worse than your trip being ruined :wink: , I have also got 9,000 out of the rear, now go spend your money vs. loosing sleep during your trip :cool:

Was wondering the same :wink:

Should of clearified my self better , I was refering to using the bike as mainly a dragbike, which you could run lower tire pressure :wink: and I wider tire for better hook-up. I have done this with my stock bike and stock tire and it works especially on a cold day :wink:

Swampmut stick to roadracing :wink: your more knowledeble than dragracing :wink:

Theirs only one advantage to running a widder rear tire, If your planning on dragracing it on a regular schedule :wink: More rubber on the ground, wider contact patch :grin:

Jim, the first 200 miles run 34F 36R :grin: , once their scrubed in run 40/42 :cool: Street Harry PS; I am wondering how many of us are running these tires :???: , or maybe I should ask who Is'nt :sad:

Friend of mine on a 02 Daytonna 955I :grin: , has the Sportec front and the Mez4 rear :cool: . He swears by this combo and both tires should wear out equally :cool: . He rode with me two days of Intense riding in W.V. and stuck even in the rain

Thw whole Idea is to save labor costs installing new plugs. Last platium changed at 29,000 miles, and they were worn, not shot. Hoping to reach 30,000 miles on the Irridium and save $70.00 on labor :wink:

Anyone have over 20,000 miles on their Irridium Plugs :?: , what shape is it in, can you go over 30,000 on these bad boys :wink:

I know most of us are running the Avons 45/46 :cool: :cool: , anyone try the Avon 49/46 combo :?: . alittle more traction from the front tire can't hurt. the Avon rep said only about 20 percent less mileage and the tire are compatable with each other :cool: By the way my front (45) will go over 10,000 miles :shock: Harry

Pete Just chexked my AV46 at 3800 miles. 3/32 or 2mm :cool: , I am running 42 Lbs :grin: , you may have gotten a bad tire :sad: , It does happen :wink: , DO NOT, repeat DO NOT put your tire on the roof, this could effect the tire structure, or heat cycle front should last over 10,000 miles. :shock: :shock: . I know your pissed based on the Imfo from the Board members :wink: Either you got a bad tire or about 15 guys on this board purposly lied and bullshitted :wink: . I will put my money on the 1st choice Now go order another rear and run 42 lbs and stop doing those wheelies and burnouts :wink: :wink: Cheer-up :cool: Harry

Pete What I do is go by the outside temp :wink: , If its going to be 70 or higher I run max cause the temp on the ground will keep the tire's warm :cool: , on a cool day I run a few pound less, on a cold day under 50 I may run 35 front and 38 rear :wink: On my trip in W.V. where we were in the mid 90's (way to hot for me but had a great time anyway) had the tires on max (42/42) during one of many water breaks felt the tire's, they were hot and spongie :cool: :cool: , never once broke loose :cool: I have the Avons 45/46, best tire period :shock: Harry
