You have the fittings sorted? If not you can borrow mine or the adaptors to the rearsets. Either will work ------------- Aprilia RSVR Factory 2007 V2 1060cc Big Bore Aprilia RSVR Factory 2004 Race Bike Kawasaki ZX10R 2007 Race Bike Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2020 www.apriliaperformance.co.uk www.apworkshops.co.uk |

Cracking day on Tuesday. Blazing sunshine, loads of rubber down on track due to the lack of rain and the bike was spot on all day without any problems whatsoever and she got a thrashing thats for sure. What's your opinion on the tyre wear here fellas? This was taken after riding home so scrubbed a lot of the bobbing off. Front looks cooked to me but the rear held up well I think.  Really gave me a buzz getting out again and we managed 7 full 20 minutes sessions without any red flags in the inters.....unheard of!------------- I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left |

Yeah i'd be happy with that, to me the front looks slightly overheated so maybe if you'd have raised the pressure slightly in the front but then they are treaded tyres so never gonna be perfect. What hot pressures were you running? and assuming you didn't have them sat on warmers? ------------- current;2001mille,2003R,2003Eddy,2012Tuono.

Thanks Carl im no expert by any means when it comes to suspension but i did tweak the shock and forks a little throughout the day. I didn't check the pressures hot, should of done and I will next time , but cold I went for 30 rear 31 front on the advice of the tyre guy there. To be fair these are more touring tyres, michilen road pilot 2s and they have done 2k road miles and one wet trackday and one roasting day both snetterton which is tough on the side of the tyre so im pretty happy with the wear especially the rear. No mate no warmers. I took some footage waiting for my mate to upload it ill post a link next week once he's done it im a tech numpty! ------------- I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left |
