Theres your problem...NExt!


Wheel alignment is the probably cause, that or over exhuberance(sp?)

Ah, right. I don't trust the rear 020 in the heat, mine's been spinning up all over the place for no good reason. But I can't be bothered to put the other wheel back on :roll:

When I got them I definitly didn't have the ability to explore their limits, so I must be getting better?? :roll: :roll:

I'll check the alignment too though

Cheers

I wouldn't worry too much about the tyres. They are not the best tyres on the market but not totally ****e either.
At the moment I'm running a Mez4 front and Diablo strada Rear at the moment and it's far from lethal. The front is almost done to the edge and that's an original from a 99 bike :roll: :) .

I did loose the front yesterday but not the fault of the tyres. I was taking the p**s a bit.

[quote="fullstop102"]Trick I was told from a friend that races is.. Pop the lube on at the end of a trip and then because you leave it a long time it will not fling off. Also makes more stick to the chain so you can get away with putting less on.[quote]
Yep, something everyone should know. Putting it on just after riding means the chain is warm so the lube is runnier and penetrates better. Leaving it for a while before riding means the solvent evaporates and the lube doesn't fling nearly so much.

I found the stock tyres to be utter crap, but worse when cold not hot.

LUBE!! I'v done this too :oops:

BTW: 020's are the bees knees, very trustworthy!

I swap my roadtec and 020 rears pretty frequently, the 020 when pushed's just not a patch on the Roadtec IMO. Doing the same ride in the same conditions, the 020 spins up and steps out occasionally on the exit from corners that the Roadtec sticks on, exiting roundabouts and fast sliproads is where it shows it up most- power when leaned over. It's much more noticable when the tyre's been ridden hard, as if it overheats a little.

Not quite as good in the rain either, but otherwise a very good tyre. Just a little behind hte curve now I think, it's an old design, still very good. I like the carcass shape too, I think it's slightly better than the Roadtecs.

Quite likely lube as has been mentioned but also take a close looke over the tyres for signs of cracking in the rubber. This is a sign that the rubber is breaking down and time to get some new ones. If you park your bike up over winter it is also a good idea to have carpet or similar under the tyres so they are not on concrete as this is detrimental for the tyres too.

get em off and get Z6 ' on
