Just a reminder if you have tires with wire canvas to remove your front sprocket cover and there could be wires in there too. I did 3 or 4 tire blowouts before removing the case and noticed a big slump of wires tangle up in there was eventually gonna wear out all the metal. A few months more of riding and I would have had to use something different than a socket wrench to change the front sprocket

 

haha nice, im gonna have to double check that

 

thats interesting. never had that happen before or heard of it happening til now. thanx for the heads up. good post

 

WTF! Are you running bias-ply trailer tires???????

 

not sure but could be Bridgestone Battlax BT ..

 

You gotta actually blow tires off to see cords



But really, some tires have metal cords, some have cloth cords

 

yeah cloth cords are easier to clean but metal cords can cause damage, I had no clue there was some stuck in the front.

 

Or you could find a pen?!?! LoL when I got this bike, I went to change out the sprockets, and found this next to my front sprocket........




LoL

******* rediculous. lol thats funny tho

 

There ya go, another reason to take the cover off once every few months. You never know what you can find in there, wires, pens, fingers, who knows?

 

i found a beer can patch hole on the cover when i took mine off on a quad ****** albert counttonians

 

my old drag bike,(stretched zx10r) ate up a hayabusa at the dragstrip and i found that suzuki in my exhaust when i got home

 

you like dick

 

 

LoL... Ok, I own a suzuki and even I thought that **** was funny!!

I run Avon and Conti as much as possible......... Great tires, and no metal cords.

I ran a Metz Sportec m3 at one point, and during a 4th gear rolling burnout the cords ripped off the liscense plate, ripped open the tail light, seat, and went through my shirt and left quite a beautiful show on my back.

Screw metal cords!

 

i run conti and i coulda swore they were metal

 

Not the ones I've been picking up......... Take off's, I think they are the mid range ones..... lots of ducati's using them, that's the dealership tire pile I find em in.......

I looked at their website and it appears almost all of their new street tires are steel. You're right! I guess I'm using some old *** tires or something, dunno.......

Other poly's I can think of are Michelins and Dunlop...... I know the power race and the qualifiers have em........

I wanna run the Conti race rain tires for a day........ wish I could find a set used. They look pimp!

 

most tires have cloth cords


nice thats crazy

 

If you use those tires in NON-WET conditions they`ll be mush in less than an hour of riding! Rain tires are specific for wet conditions. You`d be wasting your money to use them other than the use for which they were intended. Save your dough brutha. Unless of course you are a rainy day stunter, then hey, giver er`!
