a few articles I read suggested that an investigation found it was a mechanical issue on the bike that damaged the tyre but it's all a bit vague as there was no confirmation either way from Michelin |

That would tie in with the suggestion that they will re-introduce that soft tyre but I've read no more than that as I've been pretty much under the cosh the last few days. |

Shades of Barry Sheene? They never agreed on what caused his major crash did they? ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

Could that chain that's wrapped around the swing arm and not the rear sprocket be a contributing factor or the out come of the tyre ?? ------------- www.apriliaperformance.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk RIDE IT LIKE YA STOLE IT BOSS !! |
