tire

So.. I just replaced my tires. Sounds like it should be pretty easy. Wrong.... The easiest part was the actual removal and installation of the wheels. First, Why does everyone act like working on a motorcycle is reserved for MMI grads with 30k in student loans. I call 4 places and they acted...

I've put together a salvage auction V4S and did a shakedown track weekend about a month ago. I ran a Pirelli Supercorsa TD 200/55 on the rear thinking that it would steer slower than stock but not too badly. In reality, steering seemed much heavier than it should be, so I looked up the diameter...

Selling a set of tire warmers. Capit Suprema Spina. Used one season. They are in fantastic shape. I’m located in Ontario,Canada. I am will willing to ship to USA. This will be extra. Asking 280$us plus shipping. Thanks

Good afternoon I wanted to know if anyone solely use these tires on track only. I recently just burnt through a set of SP tires after 3 track days. Granted this tires spent their whole life at a right bias track i wore to the point where the tire grooves were non existent. I ran 27 lbs in...

I attempted to run the tire calibration process on the 2019 hypermotard without success. Despite staying in 2 nd gear and maintaining 30 mph for 5 seconds the display always ended with a fail report. Any tricks to this task?

I am planning on going on holiday with my V4. I will do a big tour through the Alps end of May. 2000 kilometers in 4 days Of course, it might rain. The stock Pirelli's are terrible in rain. But in size 200-60, you only have these tires or some Dunlops with almost no thread also. I would...

Does anyone know the official size of the socket required to change the rear tire? I have a suitable torque wrench and a tire changer. Is the socket size 48mm? Also, I got a torque setting for the axle nut... I want to confirm here is 250 newton/meters is correct?

Hi folks, Simple question: What tire warmer solution have you opted for your V4 and why?

My v4 has 1500 miles on it and I've done 3 trackday weekends on it without issues. Yesterday, during a cruise around town, three times I ran into an issue where suddenly bike showed following errors all at once: - ABS - DES (Dynamic Suspension) - DSC - Check engine light On top of that...

I recently purchased Woodcraft tire warmers for track day use on my 1299 Panigale. Unfortunately there is only 7.0mm clearance between the front fender and the tire surface. The tire warmer will simply not fit through this small space. I cannot be the only person having experienced this issue...

For those of you who ride track, have you ever had experience flipping your rear tire? The track by me, (NJMP Thunderbolt) is super right turn heavy, only 2 real lefts and because of this, the right hand side of the tire usually burns out MUCH faster than the left. I've heard others at the track...

Ok, I'm in the market for a new rear tire. I'm looking at the new Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa II tire. The OEM tire is the SuperCorsa SP V3 in a 200/60-ZR17. The Corsa II only comes in a 200/55-ZR-17. Has anyone changed to this size tire yet? Will this slight change in height screwup the...

my preferred tire is the Pirelli Supercorsa, but they're not particularly long lived. I don't mind the tire change intervals, but I'm brewing up a plan to to a long distance tour on my 1299, and with endless miles of highway, it'd be a waste to run my normal tire. If the Angel GT came in a...

where do you go, do you bring them your wheels or the entire bike and how much does it cost you. the ducati dealer by me wants almost 200 bucks to change the wheels on the panigale. thats bringing them the bike. i think thats insane. what are you doing ?

Started this post in a bike specific forum but believe it belongs here. My backstory is that I've been track riding for years without warmers and finally looking to buy some. But I have been stumped on single vs dual vs digital versions. Does it really matter. So, I've heard from a very repected...

Hey guys, Anyone have experience changing their own tires on carbon wheels? I really want to give a go at changing my own tires but of course, don't want to damage or mar my beautiful BST carbon wheels. I see some machines out there such as the No-Mar tire changer that looks pretty slick and...

Just looking for some help selecting tire warmers. I've been tracking my bike for years and never used them and I'm long overdue. However, there's so many types and versions out there, I'm kind of stuck. There's single temp, dual temp, and digital. Do I really need to have the exact temps of a...

Hi all, this is something that's recently come to my attention. Normally when I do trackways, I ensure the PSI is to my liking before the first session when the tires are cold. And then for the rest of the day, I don't touch it. However, usually by the end of the day, my feel on the tires gets...

the new front dunlop q3 is being recalled. I dont know the specifics but please if you have bought this tire take a look.
