singapore got the cheapest rubber around. I don't understand why you guys wana go JB change.

Even if its cheap, is the quality good? Has the tyre expired? Made in Thailand? Made in Japan?

there's a "date of birth" on tyres. It will write the year and week that it was produced.

always change in singapore. safer and more durable.

suggest u consider changing tyres rather than wait cos it's the one of the more impt components and u wouldn't feel so freaky when u take a corner

agree with lass. better to change fast. if u get into an accident, then we have nothing to say. besides, battlax is good. price is moderate.

The common misconception newbies make regarding price comparison most of the time is on DIFFERENT products! Please note that there are Bridgestone BT039 & BT039SS. The tires with the extra prefixes are of a different compound and they do make a big difference (For me at least). All the time, we hear ppl saying "Hey, I've gotten my tires cheaper than you by $XX!" and just to discover minutes later that their tires are not the SS compound.

 

Second issue, I'm not a rich man myself but you should start to adopt a different thinking in bike expenditure. Too many times I have seen bike owners complain that they want to have better tires, better brakes but can't afford it or have better places to spend their money (Example: more powerful exhaust pipe). My stand on this, you may not think good tires & brakes are essential because you ride like a total wussy but you'll never know when the next piece of sh1t will fall. God has a nasty sense of humour at times. When sh1t does fall, would you rather be glad that good tires/brakes saved you & your life or would you rather save the money on brakes & tires but spend it on a crash because your bike ain't up to it? I'm grateful I'm still around in this world because of that. In 1995, I whacked into the back of a car at about 60km/h. My travelling speed seconds before the accident was a constant 200 to 230km/h. If I saved the mega $$$ and not have bought better brakes, I would have hit the car at a faster speed & flew further (& faster). By the way, I landed 1/2 metre before the tree, so I'm really thankful.

 

Sh1t happened to me again in 1996 (My last crash) when I was riding like a total wussy (40km/h). I don't want to bore any of you with the details but to cut it short, irregardless of speed, sh1t can happen. Think safety first, money second. No point saving a million dollars but not live to spend it.

i find that very true. good brakes and good tyres are very essential to the rider therefore i dun scrimp on these. but u dun need to say newbies. i find it offensive.

Just get the BridgeStone BT039SS. Its good enough.

For the cheapest price, go HKL or Ah Boy

You got try dragging from lower gears? Check and see if it's stuck at any rpm.

(1) The truth ALWAYS hurts. (2) Your mind is like a parachute. It works best when it's open. (3) The objective is to help you realise. My aim is to save you, not start a verbal war. (4) Remember to treat me a cup of drink if you saved your bike from a horrible situation because of your new better tires or managed to brake in time.

 

I hope you do see where I'm coming from & realise I'm not approaching this on a offensive or personal path. "SHOCK" therapy has been proven the best way for a person to learn. Now do you want to remember that DO NOT SAVE MONEY ON BRAKES/TIRES by:-

 

(1) SHOCK THERAPY No 1. My "offensive" speech, my relentless nagging at some riders whom I have been barking at for months and still haven't changed their tires or

 

(2) SHOCK THERAPY No 2. Falling off your bike after a skid which you could have saved if you had 5% more grip or didn't managed to brake in time because you needed better brakes or 2 metres more.

 

Your choice... but then again, all who reads this owes me a can of Coca Cola for words of wisdom anyway!

A wise one knows who to flame & who not to flame. Your choice to start one here with the wrong person is wrong X 2. Now fook off to where you came from or if you really am looking for flawed remarks to criticise, I've got one whole good thread for you.. try the link on tango zulu mama. You'd either be laughing so hard, you'd get a sore throat or you'd be shaking your head so hard till the CNB officer calls for reinforcements.

And for the record, I have done absolutely zero things to the forks & suspension (Except change the forks oil) in this bike. I have not found a reason to and they have been holding very well. Not a common comment for a stock setup, especially a Kawasaki! My common comments for Kawasaki is always lousy suspension & good power but the KRR is the opposite. Strange... maybe they made the bike at the wrong end of the globe and things ended up the other way round!
