`chUn;3421739']cos i did my fork setting at K&T liao..

is my rear give way ..

 

luckly i able to lift up the bike..

if not.. now should be in hospital liao..

very serious 1..

my balls lost after tis incident ..

 

Fork setting not like that one lar. That is called fork servicing. Setting is to fit single individual. You need to do a standard set, try it out, then do the minor adjustment (both preload and damping) slowly. Need to do a lot of times till it suit your riding style and weight nicely. Not ask ppl set 1 time for you and that's it.

think my next tire will be M1...GPR70 no more liao

if got extra cash next 1 i will go for alpha 10 / M3

 

i feel M1 abt the same grade as BT090..

I think the Alpha10 is more suitable for you compare to the M3 as for M3 you will need to sustain at higher speed consistantly to get the grip out of it and also which is the M3 is more suitable for the 600s to the 1litre bikes as the tyres are build for their weight and speed.

Anyone know whether Pirelli's line of Diablo Corsa tyres have sizes for the RVF? Pricing-wise?

 

Cheers!

[fufu]

Yes you are correct in some ways but for the rvf to maintain the grip its gona b quite difficult as i got some frends whom are using M3 at the moment and even some times after riding for awhile.

 

When u touch the tyres ,they are not sticky and still is rather hard compare to my Pilot powers which after abt 5 - 10 mins are already soft as the heat time is faster on powers or can try continental sport attack too as heat up time is fast.

 

For RVF consider Mich PIlot Powers as they have size for it. The PIlot sports already has got gd feedback from some of the riders here so the Powers definitely will have better feedback

[MC28]

Looking at the compound, Michelin are well known to have compounds which are softer and warms up faster than other brands..Unless you are talking about Diablo Corsa 3 or even Rennsports which sadly isnt available for 400cc..

 

Have friends running Pilot Sports/Power on their PGM 4 or RVF, have been receiving good feedbacks from them..Or unless u r budget enough then no choice but to use BT090 isnt it?

 

Anyway, M3 reviews aint that superb by my friends who try them on track..While looking at the thread cutting on both the M1/3, i figured they would be better on the wets..

 

And 300+ on the forks, what they do anyway??
