tyres

Anyone fitted dual sport tyres, any recommendations.

I know there as been a number of threads concerning the original Jap Dunlops and apparently saying how bad in the wet they are supposed to be but maybe it's just the way some people must ride in the wet, the reason I am saying this is because recently I've done 2 trips to Belgium, one to Spa and...

My 2016 MT 09 has been a delight to ride. Not only does the 3 cylinders deliver enough power smoothly throughout the rev range but handles beautifully. It is light to manoeuvre and low enough for me to place both feet flat on the ground when stationary. I have removed the rear footrest and...

My 2016 Sport Tracker is due for another set of tyres. Just wondered if anyone has experience of the new Dunlop Roadsmart III SP tyres?

Hi all, I'm awaiting delivery or pick up i should say of my new MT-09. It's sitting waiting for me in the shop but the fireblade I'm trading in is waiting for some warranty work to be done so for now i can just read about my new bike rather then get out on it scrubbing in new tyres and wearing...

So after taking my temporarily repaired tyre (thankyou Mr 2 inch nail!) to get a permanent fix, I was advised that the wear on my stock tyres (Dunlop D214s) was more or less at the tread line and would likely be illegal in a few hundred miles.. so I took it to originally just replace that tyre...

Hi, A couple of days ago I had an accident in Newbury. I'm mostly fine. My nouse was bleeding and my knees hurt, but the head is fine. I fainted for a couple of minutes. I lost control of the back tyre in the second part of a double bend (first right then left). It was probably the 5th bend of...

Hi Folks, Mt MT-09 needs new tyres. Any recommendations for daily ride to work bike. I'm told some of those hard in the middle tyres are good. I'm in Oz so they have to be available here.

Just got Pilot road fours fitted following the advice from a bunch of you on the forum and cos I had a set of the PR3's on my Fz1 which were quite splendid. The only tyres I'd experienced up till now were the standard rubber which I found twitchy above 120. I've not scrubbed them in yet so this...

New to the forum got my Matt grey 09 last autumn from ian bells live in Cumbria but currently no Yamaha dealer in the county, am off to tt soon and am needing tyres so gonna look at the recs on here Also building a sportster 883 scrambler keeps me out of the house

So.... I went down yesterday, pulling away from a junction just as i set off from my house. Turning left had a slight lean on but nothing major, back end went and i hit the deck. Luckily the engine casing and bar ends took all the damage and the tank and plastics had not even a scratch...

Anyone else running the stock Bridgestones over winter. I'm on the bike at least 2 or 3 times a week and only don't use it is it's below freezing which admittedly has been quite a lot recently. I'm thinking of new tyres, seen on other threads that the Michelin PR4's are highly thought of but...

Just interested in what is wearing out on your lovely MT09's. I have hit 10,000 miles this week and still have the whole winter to get through. So far the only thing (apart from tyres) that has given up on me was a clutch cable at about 6,000 miles. Has anyone replaced chain or sprockets or...

being a saddo with to much time on my hands, just worked that it costs as much in fuel as it does in tyre wear to run the MT! I have used the Bridgestone S20 as the tyres, at £240 a pair and they last 2500 miles =9.6p a mile Petrol at £6 a gallon, and my MT does about 55mpg =10p a mile...
