CBR Fireblade riders - CBR 600/918/929/954/1000

[GRassCuTTeR]

tried out the diablo on the corners just now to the max... feel is ok after the thing warm up, can max lean the bike but dont feel so planted. steering the thing is less responsive but still manageable. would give this tyre a 7/10.

[WW]

Rich biker go try the new super corsa pro.required info. hahaha

[Ken]

Ray, u try the BT014 and u will know why i like it so much liao.

From the GP esso, to 312, i couldn't lean the DC like the BT014.

I m not even leaning fully, but it still couldn't give me the confident like the BT014.

Maybe the DC needs more warm up.

Think its very much down to each perference.

Although i never tried Diablo, i still believe that the BT014 is definitely better than Diablo.

I m a fan of Ma Xiao Ling.

 

Undertaker, want high speed corner sure must take 190 tyre.

Try the BT014, u wont regret it.

U wont give comments like "its okie but not as planting".

Trust me on this.

U might just add, "although i didn't warm the sides, it just sticks like it's on railway."

Since u tried the diablo already, if u try the BT014, u might be able to give us a better feedback?

Save Ray from the Diablo. hehehehe.

super corsa PRO?

 

new ones? my rear tyre hitting to the 2mm mark liao, changing tyres soon. gathering cash for a 014.

 

my supercorsas have served me well, going to hit 18000 km very soon, front still ok , rear hitting last 2mm with 2 track sessions in between , too bad it costs $400 compared to the rest.

 

after changing to 014, will post up the difference felt.

[Ken]

I had my BT014 for 17,000km.

Inclusive of 3 Dyno runs, 6 track days, and quite a lot of high speed journey.

 

I declared Mission,"Saving Private RayNg" Start now!!~

[RayNg]

haha ken i pirelli supporter leh..

 

i guess its up to individual.. cuz e diablo serve me well and give me lots of confident.. i tried BT012, diablo 180, diable 190 and now 280ZR.. but i still love e feel of the diable 190(and i dun love u anymore KEN!!) maybe i haven't tried e BT014 so i can't say much.. but i quite tired of trying out different tires so i'll stick back to diablo.. bad news is that e new pricing of it is getting very ex.. i'll see after next mth whether i'll change to 014 or not la..

 

 

ken!! how my turn 3 getting more and more worst..

 

 

UnderTaker.. i agreed with u that e diablo is not suitable for high speed.. e 1st few time i tried it, the front didn't have much grip causing the bike to have a fish tail feeling at e rear.. i added in some rebound damping infront and its solved.. ask those who used 208gpa or supercorsa and they'll tell u e same thing happened..

 

 

i'm using a 208ZR now.. have heard many saying that its bad.. but i tried it.. around 6 track session and around 8000km, its still running gd.. still good to go for 1 more track.. maybe it's not for hardcore trackers but it suits me well too.. and best of all, its cheap.. ask wang wang and he support me..

thanks for ur feedback, i also almost forgot there are 190 sized tyres too.

 

so do u mean that the DC is a better tyre? i am looking for a tyre with best grip when making sharp and high speed corners. dun really go for top speed... the steeper the tyre the better.

 

anyway guys i need some comments abt the sportec M-1. i will need to change my rear tyre by next week (before Kata_killer come) else i cannot ride liau.

i am thinking between a Pirelli Diablo, Pirelli Diablo Corsa, Sportec M-1 for my rear tyre. front just change to Diablo. really need some feedback before i make a decision...

my 208GP-A will last me for another 200kms, later today i will go n finish it all n park the bike in garage liau...

My previous set of tyres is Sportec-M1. Personally I think not bad in dry weather. Quite fast in warming up to the temp. But, wet condition not tat good. Well, this's wat I think.

hey how u manage to make these kinda tyres last u so long ?

previously i use BT020's the rear tyre only gave me 13000kms. both time i change also din manage to go above 15000km. my MeZ3 front gave me 8000km before the sidewall finish. n now the dunlop 208GP-A rear only gave me 5500km n its starting to slide when cornering.

 

really surprise me lah ur mileage. my fren's BT014 oni got him 9000km (we using same bike)

or is it because u guys use in spore so less speeding, maybe can last longer. we here come out of the house only means above 100km/h.

rayng, sorry but i need to ask u which screw at the forks is the rebound damping?

sorry la i damn noob abt all this cos here no ppl can adjust for us. i used my previous owner's settings n they seem quite ok. btw i using a 208GP-A for my rear, grips 10 times better than my front diablo. heats up real fast and i havent skidded at all using this tyre.

btw wats the price of a set of Dunlop 208GP-A's in spore? here in msia cheapest i ever got was RM1200, more ex than supercorsas.

eh bro i very biased towards the sportec M-1... cos last time when i used my fren's 929 (the guy u met when we were at planet) he just fixed a sportec n i rode his bike back to malacca in extremely heavy rain. cannot see the road in front but i could still manage to mantain 180kmh all the way back...

the top small screw is the rebound and the bottom is compression.. turn it clockwise is hard.. anti clockwise is soft.. i find out that if my bike wander a bit or unstable at speed, add in a some rebound and it'll be solved..

 

208gpa is a track tire so it may have very short lifespend but in exchange for grip.. i'm not sure bout e price but should be around SGD450..

 

try using both e same tire front and back to get the most performance.. but usual the front can last longer than rear.. so 1 front tire is usually equal to 2 tire behind..

 

think it's becuz we travel shorter distance in 1 trip and we dun usually travel at speed constandly.. while on my tour trip up north, i could see my center of the tire flattern jus after 80-120km traveling speed of 140km/h

208ZR good for all round.But not hard core track siao.

If really into track ,change to a super corsa,renn-sport,pilot race,or 208gp.

 

for mi ,i feel as long as it a sport tires,it about the same.

i try 208zr,pilot sport,012ss sport tires.and i like 208 the most. Really lasting,brigestone tires heat cycle is not good. but the first few time you go track you feel shiok,but the 3rd time i use on track totaly no confidence,and though there a lot of thread ,but it just wont heat up.

I think can consider trying the dargon evo.

or the pilot power?

anyone using these 2 tire?

Wow 208 GP-A for 1200rm.

for that price i change to pilot race.

Singapore 208 is about $420-440.

thanks for the info RayNg....btw we here hard to get same kind of tyre, cos its normally change 2 rear n 1 front. but by the time ur 1st rear finish and u wanna buy the 2nd rear, its very hard to get the same as the front oredi...normally will have no stock. (have stock means gotta order n wait a few days)

n here u change tyre, there is no machine to open the tyre... balancing also dun have...so lan-lan just fix n ride. wanna do balancing have to ride all the way up to KL.... dats y mine sometimes above 200kmh got feel the front is unbalance

180 km/h on raining day ?? wah tt is damn fast for heavy rain weather .. me using sportech M-1 too .. for me it is quite gd .. coz i not tt hard cord .. lolz .. but for hard cord rider there r still other more better tyre to chose .. mine wearing off too .. mayb try DC 190 if have $$ haa .. or if no $$ mayb change only e rear M-1. As fornt to back tyre ratio is 2 : 1 .. Ray so how is e last track session wif melvin ??

[Ken]

All the faults u guys had on the 208, is what i did not experience on the BT014.

It heats up fast and is sticky.

The milleage is really what i had b4 i changed it

But of course, the centre thread is nearly bald when i changing it.

Maybe on road use, my tire pressure is using 36f42r, can last longer.

When the tire is getting balder and balder, i use 32-34f / 34-36r.

 

Ray, its not trying, its a must!! haha.

U wont need to try other tires after u change to BT014.

Even after the tyre do not sticks in the track liao, it still sticks like railway on the street.
