Guess wat i use to be their regular and intro a lot of friends there as well but none of them will ever go there again now. K&T? Heard it is a good motortiam. Haven been there before. BTW ur FR plate 8.3k is very cheap. Bro better check the bike thoroughly.

Sportec M1----> :thumb: :thumb:

 

Good grips in dry and in wet weather.

 

Long lasting too.

 

Never have any 'uneven' wear problem as i read b4 Metz tires have this dunno what 'steel-mesh' technology that prevents the tires from warping out of shape.

 

Response on the 150 rears is very good...ease of flickability and stable in corners.

 

Provides excellent feedback as well.

 

i know coz im using it!

So u manage to get 150 for Sportec M1? I am using it as well but that time no more stock for 150. I using 160 now but 160 not good for RVF

Anyway its a good tire.

Correct me if i wrong..

Wat i heard is the thinner the tyre, the faster u go..

but corner lose out...

 

And vice versa for thicker tyre...

:smile:

ermm i believe the best combination will be 120 and 150 .. i rem il4 tell me b4..

[Fatgrunt]

it really depends on what u're after.

Thinner tyre lose out?

You are wrong. That is the single most often believed myth about tires.

 

Thinner Tyres have more contact patch area with the road when leaned over as compared to a Fatter tire. More contact patch at lean angles means u more grip. More grip means more speed can be achieved thru the corner. Go to Bike Bytes and read some of the stickies regarding this matter. valueble info there.

 

RVFs originally uses 120 fronts and 150 rears. Dun care what the fu ck motordiams tell you..its 150!

 

I have used 160 and 150 rears before. and i prefer the 150 although the former gave me more stabilitiy at high speeds.

 

150s give u better pickup (less mass for the engine to spin up) and better turn-in response in corners.

You can try Planet motor. I have mine changed at $90 but dunno whether is cheap or not but definately a reliable source. Btw oringinal rectifier's price is almost the same. Its a super 4 Spec 2 rectifier with cooling fins.
