it's just off the dyno actually, lots of heat marks and ripples and crap like that. I knew it's gonna need a burnout or two to get it ready again because it's been a while since I got that tire. I need to practice burnouts actually

 

I've never had a dunlop I've liked, but that's just me.

 

my friends always use dunlops or chinkos.... i like the chinko cuz it's the cheapest and it provides plenty of traction.

 

I just really dont like dunlop fronts. never had a rear I don't think, not one that I didn't blow up in a week or two.

 

i say rear tire is a rear tire.... just put anything up there, the front is what matters... my 636 has a pipe and power commander so it's making a little more than an r6 probably would, and my tire only spins if it's completely cold, no matter what I'm using.

 

an R6? can I ask why?

 

he wants the r6 for street cruising... he plans on keeping the 250 to stunt

 

that's the Bridgestone Battlax - I had them on my bike, I liked them!!

 

for fronts i always run Michelin pilots or powers...

there is a difference in tires for the rear for stunting, some have a little better traction (which makes a difference for getting some wheelies up and for FAST circles) and some let the bike roll from left to right easier, and some just provide a more stable ride...

so far we've found that dunlap 218's are pimp! (207's SUCK and 208's are in the middle)

the stock 636 bridgstones are nice too...

 

yeah, i guess if you can circle then the tire might make a difference.... but I've said it before, and i'll say it again... I am but a simple squid, I've got BP wheelies and that's about it, so tires don't make a bit of difference to me

 

I have no problems because I'm not even doing cirlces yet. I'm gonna put the pilot powers on next and see how they are. i have been running about 20 in the back tire and not at all concentrating on idle, it's getting to be too much of a pain and taking the fun out of it.

 

i wish i could do circles.... but I can't seem to get over the fact that I might hurt my bike if I try to progress more.

 

+1 on the 207's suck. i like Metzeler M1's too. Front and rear.

 

I have M1 on the front and have never had a problem.

 

Larry, you start doing coasters?

 

No i haven't. I think i can do them if i try but i'm waiting for someone to give me a quick crash course on them. I will try them this weekend and let you know how i made out. Did you start them yet?

 

with this new bar, I'm gonna focus on coasters because I wasn't really hitting the bar fast before. I'm gonna see if I can start to float down to the bar by doing coasters. I really want to learn them. We watched the Kyle Woods instruction vid and it's actually got a good section about coasters and crap like that in there. if I can get them soon I'll holla at ya with tips.

 

I'm gonna try them sitting down, I feel better sitting down lately.
