i had some good 60ft endoes goin on at the spot..noticed that my fork seals were leaking again..so i took the forks off...replaced the fork seals like always..then put a race take off super corsa tire on there...and now for some reason...my front tire just keeps sliding..you think fork oil got onto the brake pads?...its starting to **** me off..any ideas? i put the pilot power on there..and still sliding around..has this happened to anyone else?..sliding on your front tire while your goin 70mph is a little scary... i'm gonna throw some steel braided lines on it just for ***** and giggles which i doubt will make a difference on the sliding part....( its an 02 F4i oh by the way)

 

Make sure your technic is clean when your doing your rollers......lean forward and progressively pull in the brake rather then just grabbing a hand full and locking the tire up.....I dont think it has anything to do with u replacing your frok seals

 

I don't understand?? The front tire is locking up and sliding? If so your brakes are working great.

 

you just need some practice

 

make sure the tire is heated enough. don'tjust grab a lot of brake like that one guy said, you have to squeeze

 

get a better tire

 

i put a qualifier on the front..everythings back to normal...i think that pirelli was just ****...or maybe just old..

 

i slid alot too untill i put on a pilot power..

 

gp take offs work well on the street if you boost up the psi if you run an average psi on them they wont heat up like there meant to, keep them hot

 

Do tires get old because i use take offs and the last 3 fronts i got just lock up and slide. They are good tires i just think they got old and dried up .
