Default sliding all over. poss oil?

Ok,

ive been all over the shop this morning moto style (well not really) but its very slipery. Its even worse when the tyers are cold.

Nowthen. its possably had a little scottoil on one side and some acf50 on it. I scrubbed it with fairy liquid but its obviously not right. So is there a really good way to get it off the tyers? If not. is there a good/cheap tyrefitter with a ride in/ride out service un hudds

If your oiler is set up properly, then there should be no way of oil actually getting onto the part of the tyre you would ride on normaly, unless you are a Kneedownaholic. It could just have been the road surface, of the fact of cold tyres. It was a bit damp this morning.

dunno about brighouse but here it's been dry for several days and it rained lightly last night, when it rains lightly it lifts all the oils and crap that were spilled over the previous dry period and brings it all to the surface, but doesn't wash it away, which leaves the roads very greasy

Andy try sorting your tyre pressures out. ACF50 on the wheels isn't going to help either huni! Sometimes a scotoiler can fling ont wheel if it isn't set right. I know Geek had a prob not long back with his

How old are your tyres BTW? not square are they?
