Whoops!!!!!!
 

Played around with the rear suspension in the week and just about got it sorted :) , however the downside, I'm now able to spin the back up out of corners under total control, three days of fun resulted in this.

Now that's better, what about some rolling burnouts :twisted:




(It's not big and It's not clever, but boy is it fun :twisted: )

Cheers Mark.

:shock:

Er just slightly below the 1mm minimum tread depth then officer? :lol:

Whatever happened to fiscal awareness? :wink:

out weighted by blissful handling 8)

cor blimy, you must have been right over in those corners to cause that sort of wear :lol: I get better lean angles on my thundershat! :lol:

I think it might also be due to achieving 170 kph on a deserted stretch of motorway. Er it was kph wasn't it? :lol:

NO

Spinning the back up you don't have to lean the bike much as the tyre is going slightly across the direction of travel, adding the spin maintained powering out before the hook up, and you get significant wear rate.

I'd hoped to get about 8k out of the rear, but owing to a lack of restrain on my part only managed 6.2k, I reckon I managed to kill about 3.5k of normal tyre life in the last 3 days :shock:

Cheers Mark

may I ask you to clarify for me as I don't understand what you are saying. In your first post you said you spun the rear up out of corners, so I would have expected higher wear at about 3/4 lean, the same as you get on race bikes, where the picture you posted shows you to have spun the rear in the centre either in a straight line or stationary.(aint that called a burn out?)

Now you are suggesting you dont need to be far over to get the rear lit up. I have seen you launch your bike off a damp set of lights and spun it up so understand how this could happen but to say that you caused this dammage just by exiting corners imho is not possible. I smell a dirty doggy dodo!(bull**** scores more than doggy do) :lol:

Joe i think you're confusing "back it in" wqhich is what some racers do with "spinning it up" which is what I'm saying.

One is pre apex and one is post.

O, and I haven't done a burnout in about 10 years.

Cheers Mark.

yeah racers spin it up too.

i smell poo..tons of the stuff.


so you had a knackered rear tyre and decided to burn it out before replacing it...so what?... :roll:

170mph from a speed triple...


anyone got a shovel :shock:
