Tyre Question
 

Hi Guys, i already posted this, but put it in the wrong section by mistake. here it is again...

hi Guys,, a was on this forum a while back.. but jist tonite there i bought a curvy 650...its in amazin condition, the guy really looked after it.. but ma question is this... the front an rear tuyre has a flat bit in the middle.. like hes been running long distance,, then after the flat bit on the edges,, theres then obviously an edge,,is this normal... or jist too much straight lining that causes this.??? thanks.

Re: Tyre Question
 

Straight ridding flats the back off a treat.
The front gets an easy life so it really only wears of the edges .

Re: Tyre Question
 

I have no real problem with my squared off ones Just remember that your going to find it tips in a bit odd.
If you want to get your knee down then get new ones.

A long az der iz plentee of tred dis ain't no bova, if you iz goin in strate lines anywayz!

The rear tyre is squared off. Personally I would replace it, my Sv came with a sqaure rear tyre, I didnt realise for ages and was getting really frustrated as to why I couldn't turn corners smoothly.

Those Oor Wullie annuals my parents bought me as a child really helps ;)

Re: Tyre Question
 

I was told you could de-square a tyre (as long as its not to knackered) by riding on a few good twisty roads until you take the square edge off.

Re: Tyre Question
 

Well if i guess you can but you need to give it a fair old pasting if you can get it to handle right too, The one on mine sort of dont want to turn then tips a bit quick =:s

Re: Tyre Question
 

yes. My front is square in the middle an ye kin really feel it tipping in when cornering... th erear is the same but not as bad as the front,, the rear is 75% new,, the fronts 75% gone...which tyre best suits sv`s. also am 20 stone.\\:D/
