The front of my BT010 is almost worn out, but the rear still quite ok.

This is common a BT010 problem?

Cos seems like the rear one shld go first.

 

For me,

 

10 months= 1 BT 010front and 2 BT010 rear...

my mechanic say BT056 still have in production... dat y he recommend mi....fr planet motorshop at ubi....

 

BT010 replace BT56. And since BT010 has been around for 3 years(i think)...The BT56 must have been kept for a long time.

MEZ1 is said to be jurassic age tyres .. any reason why metzeler is still standing by it .. ? shouldn't they just scrap it n move on to a better version.

It it ain't broke, why fix it? If a design is good, it can last quite a while until newer generation bikes start "out performing" the current range of tires.

I've got MEZ-4

[sukada]

ok..will take notes.....thk for all the advice....

[cadre80]

so many ppl with so many diff views... anyway, what is the best pair of tyres for my GSX400? been thinking of getting pirellis, but lost at which one to get... diablo, dragon, evo?...

[it wasnt me]

go for pirelli dragon....using dragon evo now....fell in love with it

[wolverin]

I heard that the Diablo is as grippy as the Corsa but longer lasting. If you've tried it, let me know.

hiya dude, i have make some notes on Diablo, perhaps this is a more accurate info i gather.

 

as u know the Pirelli Super COrsa series ranges from the following

 

Super Corsa

Super Corsa 1

Super Corsa 2

Super Corsa 3 (rear)

 

the current Diablo Corsa replaces Super Corsa, this explains why it last longer compare to SC1,2 and 3

 

I have already seen it in action, seems good to me, bugger on the '99 R6 was pushing very hard udring most of his hour session.

 

Was he riding a grey R6 with a Micron system?

[wolverin]

If he's there on Thursday with a patched up leathers and black Arai Helmet, his name is David. You can talk to him. He's a friend of mine. He use to ride with Dunlop GPR tyres.

[wolverin]

It was an old GSXR 400 white with patched up paint work. He did a 1'56" before moving to a R6. He was using #28 while I was using #26.

yup, thats the same guy....

 

I told him he'll do well if he changed to a R6 since it suits his riding style rather than getting a 750.

 

He is doing below 1'50". I'm glad for him. He'll surprise other usual riders.

Bought battlax bt45 rear tyre last december for my Super4 but didnt check the size.The mech put on 150/70 instead of the recommended 140.So far so good but after reading the useful infos abt tyre sizes feel like want to cHange back to correct size.

Do shop take tyre trade-ins?

[it wasnt me]

i'm using 150 as well...as long as its not 160 and touching the chain....should be okie lah

oh yeah, one more thing to note, remember to check the signs "for front use only" "for rear wheel only" when they are about to change.

I've seen incidents whereby motordiam use front tyres for the rear. better check to be sure dude!

[terry84]
