Re: ? i don't get it
yeah hes right, I had one hell of a time getting used to the motard wheels after riding with dirt wheels...it will take a while, and everytime you put new tires on its like learning all over again. One thing I found is that if you run a higher pressure it doesnt mess with you as bad.....I used to run like 12-14 not im up to around 25. everythime I replace the tire its not as hard to get used to as it was when I was only running 12 or so PSI....

Re: ? i don't get it
New tires suck, LOL. Try runnin it at 12-15 till it breaks in some. I have to run mine at 15 psi in the rear everytime I put a fresh one on, then after a day or 2 I bump the pressure up.

Re: ? i don't get it
no no no.....
not blaming tyres for not being able to endo, just a old lady that walked out in front of me when i was coming in hot for a endo, so i held the brakes to slow down instead of endoing that only slows you down a bit, so me looking like a *** i did a burnout which squared off the tyre, now im having trouble with monos
ps off townsville, north qld
