Nearly left a gixxer coloured mark on the road

Here's a pic - if there is a letter after the R(ear) as circled, then it is an OEM dual compound rear. No letter, then a tri-compound aftermarket rear.



Same thing for the F(ront) obviously. No letter = dual compound, letter = single compound.

having had a wobble on ym bike this morning (setting off from the end of the road at a round about, trying to make good progress and finding the back spinning up sliding etc) i am curoious about all this getting heat into tyers. I ride a short (5-6 miles) commute and currently have avon viper sports on the bike. Previously on the sv after 1.5-2 miles on avon storms i had enough grip for my riding. However i am finding that i am feeling the back end "wobble" a bit.

Any real advice would be apreciated.

its cos your a power crazed loon Andy, clearly the new bike is too much for you and you should just donate it to me.
PS change your avatar

i've tried changing my piccy and it doesnt want to will try again.

and yea i would offer it but i know its not your cuppa tea.

Possibly just slippy roads mate? Got a shock a few months ago when the roads were greasier than I expected opened the throttle wide in 4th and span up the back wheel. Manx matt did the same shortly before (but much worse!).

p.s simesb that picture's really weird, I thought I was viewing the top of the tyre - though the rubber looked absolutely shagged...til I realised the reason it looked like tarmac was because it was

+1 but I didnt want to b the first to admit to it lol.

Andy that was just after Mr Spears's scorch mark on the snake pass.

[Dave20046]

Andy IIRC that was somewhere sheffield end of the snakepass - manx pulled out for an overtake (into oncoming traffic lane) gave it the means and lots the back end (shook his feet off the pegs),scary. I had a lesser one near hathersage, had a landrover up my **** though hehe no worries I'll shoot off now; opened the throttle and the back just went from one side to the other to the other

Glad I'm not the only spaz, if a third person makes the same mistake can we blame the picture?
