Re: Vtwins eat tyres - explain please
Any bike is capable of eating tyres epsecially rear ones, much depends on variables like riding style/throttle control/ bike weight and so on.
Generally speaking the more cylinders you have the more smooth the power delivery will be, on cold tyres this can lead to the surface tearing and wearing quicker. Cheers Mark.

Re: Vtwins eat tyres - explain please
Badger, I'm not worrying, lol. Just wondered if there way any truth to the whole story.
Sounds to me like a sensible summary is that any bike can "eat tyres" but it is more common on bikes like vtwins becuase IL4's have a naturally smoother power delivery. |

Re: Vtwins eat tyres - explain please
Neither of my SVs eat tyres, cause I don't ride like a mong. Sometimes I may ride a bit on the spirited side occifer, but usually I get nails in them before they go bald.
However the VRaptor 1000 of mine makes them magically disappear, and it also does it to chains and sprockets too.

You have to laugh! Bikes aren't hard on tyres, riders are!
