yup ... i was there ... there was another 636 but i dont know if he is from this forum?

 

anyway ... i need some advice ...

 

i am currently using metzler sportec m1 ...

 

after 5 laps of riding ... the rear tend to slip on exiting of corners as i apply the throttle ... and at one point ... the front starts to slip at turn 1 which cause me to enter the gravel ...

 

i was on 2.5bar front and 2.9bar rear (normal recomended tyre pressure for road riding) ... i reduced the pressure to about 2.3bar front and 2.7bar rear ... same thing happen after 5 laps ...

 

so is it the tyre pressure or tyre type? becos i dont think its my riding ... too slow to even finish off the "chicken strip" ... and the tyres after the total 10laps looks normal without the chunks of melted rubber ... :giddy:

 

 

:help:

i was on front 26psi and rear 28psi. Works wonder for me. Only my rebound was bit hard for the front. Slipped twice on turn 1 while pushing on the 5 lap race. :giddy: thats why hum a bit after the 2nd slip. luckily manage to pull back if not there goes the new paint job. :cheeky:

Bro, tyre pressure do play a part, but

If you intend to do 10 laps or more at 1 go, it is better to get track tyres.

Street tyres tend to slide when it gets too hot.

Nevertheless, if you are not riding very hard, I guess street tyres are ok for our level.You should also look at how old is the tyre.

It is good to know we are having more interest in track riding from this thread.

I was advise by my 'mentors' to put at 31 psi front /back when tyres are cold.

Doesn't mean going down to 26psi tyres will grip better.

Currently using Metzeler M3.

It is still the mean green.

Haven't done much track lately.

In the process of putting the bike back to the original fairings etc.

Most probably putting it up for sale.

Wah! Go tracking neber jio me! My backside darn itchy already leh!

 

I am using 30 for both front and rear, on D208GP, Works really Great!

 

And u must weck it! No melted rubber = ya not riding hard enough on the straights to heat it up = tire expired too old liao :cheeky:

 

Serious, last time I also Hum, neber weck, almost became superman at the last bend.

 

Found out I hum on the straights don weck so much only weck out of the corners then found out my tire not heated up properly.

 

From then on, once I see clear rd is full-throttle, once out of corners, also full throttle, if not how to keep up with the 1000s!
