Hey bro, long time no see!

 

Yeah, PR3 seems good. It's my first time on Michelin, and I'm really liking it so far. Pretty grippy in all conditions, but then new tyres are always like that @pichudot can give you better feedback, he's racking up the miles much faster than I am.

 

In general it's advisable to change both tyres at the same time for better balanced grip/handling. Though you can also consider changing the front alone for a 2nd hand one. @MuNkyFooT did this at Bikeworkz last time, and got it quite cheap! This way by the time your rear tyre wears out, both should be ready for a change. Just go down and see if they have a front tyre in your size in good condition. Unless you change both at the same time, you'll never really know how good or bad the tyre is.

Hey bro I've been using Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact (single compound in earlier versions; latest version is 100% silica single compound for front tyre and dual compound for rear tyre) since last year Aug and they have been excellent so far, especially if you are looking for performance and braking capabilities on wet surfaces.

PR3 is also highly recommended (look no further for dual compound).

Hi fellow fazer riders. Just wish to share a piece of info i got. I ve a stock exhaust full system as spare becoz installed with akrapovic full.

 

So i called hong leong to get a feel of e stock exhaust price. *drum roll* $4,000++ excluding labour. 0.o

 

To make very sure i heard correctly i triple confirm with e salesperson. I also let him noe tat e akra full was $2.6k.

 

Might e salesperson ve stated e price wrongly? Or it is correct? ._. if it is right, I'm glad i didnt sell my stock pipe?

He was using Z8 before he sold his black thunder. He's currently riding a tdm900.

Pilot Power Pure is a really good sport road tyre IMO, just sharing:)

totally correct. stock pipe cost a bomb

[pichudot]

How much does PR3 cost for u?

 

PR3 should be in the $450-$500 range.. it depends where you go & ur frnship with the bikeshop..

mine is a 190/55 rear.. stock is 190/50.. slightly exp than the latter.. but i like it that way..

[pichudot]

dun gime tall hats la.. i dun rack up miles.. i rack up kilometers..

PR3 is also highly recommended (look no further for dual compound).

 

actually i think, it depends what is your needs..

if you r a long distance lover, jus go for sport touring tires..

if u like super grips, go for sport tires..

if u like to skid or likes drifting, go for bald tires! hahaha!

 

i think your sentence alrdy can consider as FR of the tyre.....

 

what is FR? France?
